I’m interested in getting full front PPF, full ceramic coating, and ceramic window tint on all windows for my ‘26 CS. I’ve gotten a couple quotes, and the best one so far is $3350 to bundle all 3 services. Breakdown:

- $750 XR Plus ceramic window tint

-$1850 Xpel front PPF

-$750 Xpel ceramic coating

Based in Southern California. I’ve never had any of these done on a car before. Are these good prices? What are other people‘s experiences? Should I keep looking? Not sure if they are even worth it. I know that PPF really just protects against minor rock chips, and ceramic coating just makes the surfaces more hydrophobic and easier to wash

I have to say this is a really tough decision for me. I have a paid off 2019 4runner Limited nightshade 83,000 miles. It's been an awesome vehicle but I just love the way the crown signa looks. the 600 miles for a full tank of gas is pretty damn appealing. I think I have a great deal on the table. They're giving me 30,000 for my trade they've discounted nearly $6000 and they're throwing in tint and a roof rack OEM. I feel like the minute I do this I regret trading it in and if I pass on the car, I'll regret that too any advice you have is greatly appreciated to say the least

In norcal. Haven't finalized budget exactly but likely trying to stay sub $45k. Think that's possible? Or should I just keep an eye out for '25 used? Also could do finance then pay off early vs cash.

My timeline is through Nov although would prefer by July so could also just wait...

Between 65 and 75, I'm getting that unusual vibration in the cockpit. I can feel it in my seat, in the steering wheel, my water bottle rattles and you can see the vibration waves in the water.

I called the dealership and I'm taking it back in tomorrow morning.

I've read that there may be a tire issue, specifically with the Bridgestones that are on my car. It does kinda feel like when snow is caked up in the wheel, so I'm wondering if I have a wheel or tire issue.

I'm hoping they find out it's a bad tire and they put a new set of Michelin's on for my trouble. BUT, the pessimist in me is worried they're gonna tell me everything is fine. I won't keep the car if that's the case. I'll trade it in as soon as I get my title in the mail.

I'm worried

My 2025 Crown Signia had an outstanding Safety Recall "Combination Meter May Go Blank." I was able to update the 12.3 display software over wifi, a so called Over the Air Update" to Display 1004. After downloading, it installed and was activated when I restarted my car. I believe this to be the safety recall update. It was obviously much easier than scheduling an appointment with the dealership and leaving it for three hours.

Edit: To help searching I am tagging this post: NHTSA Recall No. 25V-595, Toyota Recall No. 25TA08 (Remedy Notice)

I've seen some hacks on forums where you can buy a spare tire and use some foam and make it work in the back.

Some people just put a spare in a bag and keep it in the back.

Some people do nothing and hope they never need it.

I have AAA, so I can get the car towed to a dealership if I ever blow a tire. But that has its own set of headaches.

I'm not sure what I'm gonna do about this yet.

What did you decide?

I've had a Crown Signia for a few weeks now. One of my big motivators was reducing noise as much as possible compared to my 20 year old car. Mission accomplished there, but I am confused by the ESE and ANC question. Some people claim that ESE (engine sound enhancement) is present in the Crown Signia Limited, and that turning it off makes a huge difference. Same goes for the active noise cancellation, which should be left on. I got the Carista dongle and iPhone app to try to do this, but I hear absolutely no difference when messing with either setting. Am I missing something?
