I've had my #7 2004 for about a week now and had a couple
of questions about the car's performance at freeway speeds
(50mph and up).
First, the car feels pretty stiff. It reacts quickly to very slight
movements on the steering wheel, and the ride itself is very
rough. I imagine I've been enjoying a lexus suspension up to
now, but I wondered if this behavior is typical of the car, or
whether I should check with the dealer.
Second, when I'm crusing at a fixed speed I notice what feels
like a very slight acceleration/deceleration pattern that coincides
to the ICE charging the batteries, then just the wheels. It's subtle
but noticable enough to be annoying. Note that it only occurs when
I'm cruising at speed. I notice no transitions between power sources
when accelerating or breaking. They are very smooth.
The car's mileage is still very low, so these may just be breakin
issues, but I wonder if others have noticed.
