Just took delivery on an '06 GS300, ML/Nav etc. Love the car, truly, but have noticed that you really need to give the door some force to close it. My last car (a Volvo S60 2.4T) was much easier to just shut the door. Is this a Lexus thing, an '06 GS300 thing or is it my car?

Any help would be appreciated. Reading through the threads has been really helpful.

 

not really...mine shuts w/ minimal effort. Probably so air tight that you have to slam it

 

yeah just the air tight that you are not used to it. most people who first sit in my lexus feels they have to close hard

 

Try closing the door with the window open a bit. Does it close the same way?
Do all the doors feel the same when you close them?

 

That's not right...but funny as hell..

 

with any of the windows open very slightly, all doors will close very easily. that's the proof to how air tight the car is

 

Lowered the window and you guys are asbolutely right. I guess it is further proof of how airtight the cabin is. Thanks for the info, and btw -- I'm tre buff as I already go to the gym several times per week!

 

WELCOME to Lexus and Club Lexus

 

Thanks kb2yza. I'm thrilled to be the owner of our new car, which truly represents a new standard of design and sophistication for the luxury market. It is awesome.
