Default Lexus Owners Opinions Please

Hello everyone.
Im an avid IS300 fan and am thinking about buying one soon. I am asking for your honest opinions on a few subjects on the car. Any information or help you can offer would be greatly appriciated.

Subject 1 - The interior is really nice, but do you feel the "space" is a lil too small inside?

Subject 2 - Can you put a stock navigation system into a model that did not come without it? -NEVERMIND FOUND ALREADY THANKS GUYS =)

Subject 3 - DO you know when there is going to be a facelift to the current model?

If these seem like dumb questions i apoligize, but im new to the IS scene.
On a side note i have to say this site is great, just reading around I have discovered so much information.

Thanks in advance =)

hey there is never a dumb question, so don't worry, just ask!

1) i have both gs4 and is3. of course is3 is smaller, but it's not small to the point where you think it's crumbling in. i still sit 5 people in the car often and it's all good.

3) never heard about facelift. sport design was a bit different though but it was for 03 and no sport design yet for 04. i heard new is3 is coming out in 05 but we will see

I should be getting my is300 this week. How does everyone like theirs so far? Any major mechanical issues that I should know about?

25k miles and it's running smooth, no complaints about the car, except that it's a bit under powered IMO.. that and the gas milage could be better, but it'll suffice, maybe gas prices is just too high right now

pros outnumber the con by a lot though
