I really enjoy the feel and responsiveness of the car when maneuvering at speed and braking. I have thought about the 1LE upgrade kit and may do it at some point.

However here is the problem I now face. Driving my wife's Lexus 400H at speed is now a somewhat scary experience. If I get that car above 65, lane changes and wide turns are frightening. It's just so loose and the brakes feel like they take forever to engage. The mechanic says everything is fine with it though. I was driving to Tahoe on 80 a couple weeks back. On that final downhill stretch I had to keep it around 60 to be comfortable in the turns which wasn't easy with those lame brakes.

Maybe I'll have to find our family another SUV that handles/brakes better. For now I just not driving it much on the freeways.
