Only tech you are missing is the screen for nav and calls and that is easily remedied with a quality after market solution paired with a quality reverse camera. Everything else "tech" is just intrusive nonsense. Lane departure or auto braking or relentless beeping because you don't have your belt on within 3 milliseconds of getting in the car. Who needs any of that?
I see so much bloat on modern cars, there's so much spent on utter shite we don't need and we are expected to pay $1K a month for it.
Drop $20K on a mint Lexus, spend 10K refreshing the tech and the suspension and keep 60 grand in your pocket.
New, TBH I feel the Range Rover is peerless. Like the proper one not the poor man's one. Super classy and super comfortable. Look for a CPO one if leases are rubbish?

I drove a new Range Rover Sport and honestly I loved it, did not love the lease price and have 0 desire to own one out of warranty and even a CPO scares me with depreciation and maybe end up stuck with it longer than CPO warranty. I think if they had good lease deal it would be my #1 choice, but not for what they want.
Anyways I ended up finding an ES 350 F Sport down the street so I went to check it out. I thought they had a regular none F Sport also which is what I really wanted to see but apparently was at some other location.
It was... not bad... unfortunately I think F Sport ruined it for me. Seats were bolstered which as a fat guy I don't like in most cars, especially not in big 4 door luxury sedan. Ride was decent, but again I think the F Sport may have made it a bit worse than it should be, still better than probably any of my current cars.
I will see if I can find an E 350 Luxury trim version. Also interested in checking out an LS 500 but those seem harder to find nearby, however price difference used is around $10-15k vs closer $30-40k difference new.
