A comprehensive road test is vital to ensure that a perfect automobile is delivered to
each Lexus customer. We recommend that you map out a specific road test course
that includes a variety of road conditions including stop and go, highway speed and
rough road surfaces.
This will help you check for squeaks, rattles, drifts, pulls and a variety of other
conditions that must be corrected prior to delivery.
Note: Make sure protective covers are in place on the seats and
carpet prior to starting the road test.
