Some discribe it as a disel engine sound......just trying to fiquere out if most of the ES has this happening, it happens to mine. It is so post to be b/c of the direct fuel injection.....so says the dealers.

OK, sorry for the delay - the car wasn't ready until last Monday and then I had to go out of town, so I've only had a very limited time with the new car so far.
Major disappointment (somewhat expected) is that the Sirius was not installed. The dealer was claiming to be waiting on the new units to arrive from Lexus. I picked up an external unit and have it in the center console now to hold me over, but I am desperate for an integrated solution. I am pre-ordered at VAISTech and am trying to find out if the 2006 ES330 parts are being used to work, but with the 10 character limitation. To me, integrated solution is key, so I can live with the 10 character limitation. I will likely start a separate post on this matter.
Other notes:
- Love the car overall, very high-end luxury feel overall
- Really enjoying the park assist in my small garage
- Wood and leather are awesome quality
- Love the color combo (Smokey Granite Mica Ext. / Gray Int.)
- Dual sun-roof is cool as is keyless entry/start
- Really like the look of the spoiler (and did get this at a lower price)
- No issues with hood lining up
- Not noticing any noises on cold start up like the ones described
- Took me a bit to get my garage door openers programmed
- Took no time at all to program blue tooth cell phone (Cingular 2125 phone)
- Need to find a cloth for finger prints on Navi screen
- NEED & MUST HAVE Integrated Sirius!!! This is a huge bummer for me.
