The throttle response on the twins is pretty good, on a manual anyway.

On something else like an automatic SUV, it makes a big difference. On my 8-speed base model LC200 for example, it would need more than 70% throttle pedal input to downshift or even sometimes to stay in gear. I used a pedal commander for almost 2 years to make it drive how I wanted it to.

On higher trims, you could select a sport mode to solve this issue but my base trim didn't have that option and it pretty much felt like I was in ECO the whole time, not even normal mode.

I took the commander off eventually when I was able to calibrate the throttle through the stock ECU.
