What's your beater/daily driver?

[Gt4]

I love the LC design. Super cool, congrats. What kind of real world fuel mileage were you getting so far?

I am at 21mpg so far from Montreal, Canada to Killington, VT but took back roads from Burlington, VT to Killington so a bit more elevation than highway.

But keep in mind the 1958 has no roof rails, narrower overflares and skinny 245/70/18 / 31.5’’ vs 265/32.5’’ tires for the other LC models. So pretty sure the 1958 gets better fuel economy vs other trims for that reason.

I have the LC for 2 days so far! I also have a 2023 Highlander (GF daily) so I was familiar with the 2.4 turbo I4. It doesn’t sound good but was able to pull a Uhaul car hauler with stock E46 M3 (around 57-5800lbs) with the Highlander without any problem. Was doing as good as our previous 2018 Highlander with 3.5 V6.

Coming from a lot of BMW’s to Toyota, the security systems are really intrusive! LC is worst than my 2023 Highlander. Way too much driving assist and can’t completely turn them off…

I am on a mountain bike trip to Vermont right now. LC drive really well on highway, I4 has more than enough power to pass other cars on backroads, suspension is firm but not as bad as my old 2015 4Runner Limited. It also doesn’t feel like a truck like that 4Runner. Steering feel light on the LC and turn radius is good considering the size of the LC.

Base model 1958 sucks for the price to be honest. There is tons of plastic in the cabin. Especially the armrests bug me! But not a problem on LC/LC Premium trims. I like the slicktop tho and manual hatch. Fabric seats are also ok and seats are comfortable for a Toyota so far on long ride.

I also considered the GX550. I prefer the V6 powertrain but I like the LC exterior and interior more than the GX. There is also too much thing in the GX that need to be control by the 12.3’’ screen like hvac…

I almost went for a LC premium in Cassonade Grey or Meteor Grey in US but dealer tried to gave me 5000$ for X3 trade in vs other dealer for the 1958.

So I like my 1958 so far. It’s very different than my X3 M40i. Also considered a 2023 X5.

How do you like it so far? Keep thinking about trading the 460 for a 550, but the casting debacle stopped me, the 4cyl enough to keep up?

Traded my 2019 BMW X3 M40i for this new 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser 1958. It's going to be the tow truck next year to bring the Silver M3 at the track.

Ouch... is your E46 a rough looking specimen? Most people (not just this forum) would do things the other way around.

Yeah, I had to read that twice. Saving an F80? What for?

[PetrolM3]

My E46 M3 is my daily driver. It helps keeps the miles off my F80 :P

Said goodbye to my Macan S recently and traded for a CPO '21 Carbon Black X3 M-sport. It's got the 30i 4-cyl engine, but is surprisingly quick. Most importantly, my wife is less stressed driving it in the city than she was the Porsche. Only downside is it's on a brand-new set of run flat tires... hopefully I can burn through those fast and replace with normal tires.

Need to get a front plate mounted, but at least I got a few photos for posterity before that happens. Also snuck in the M3 next to it in our garage for a quick side-by-side. Will have to get them outside together for a better photo op at some point. If I can get them both to my mom's house at the same time I'll get her CB X5 in a shot too.

I didn't notice before we bought it, but someone else in our building owns a near-clone of it. Only difference is theirs doesn't have the black trim package. Also have seen a CB X1 in our garage too.

awesome photos

Badass e53. Makes me miss mine. It's the only vehicle my wife regrets us selling.

Thanks! It's been super fun to drive. Love the weird looks I get from Jeep and 'Yota drivers.

we may be putting ours up for sale soon. If you’re interested shoot me a message.

Lifted by E53 X5 on some all-terrains, installed some Hella lights and crossbars. Light overlanding duties only. Emphasis on "light".
