New to Me 06 IS250
All,
Just wanted to introduce myself. I recently purchased a used 06 IS250 from the local Lexus dealer. I love it. It is definitely a smooth ride. The power is ok, but if I was going for a lot of power, then I would have purchased the IS350.
One issue: Does anyone else's front end seem really busy. What I mean by "busy" is: does the steering seem hyper-twitchy and follow all the seems in the road? I know this could be due in part to the type of tires I have on the car, but it seems odd enough to ask about.
Also, when doing a U-turn, the front wheels feel like they are turning slightly too far. This results in a kick-ss turning radius, but it seems like I am riding on my rims.
Other than that, the car is good to go. I look forward to accessing the information on this site and maybe interjecting a few words of wisdom of my own.

Thanks for the reassuance on the turning mechanisms. Yes, this car's turning rocks. Thanks for the welcome. I will post pics once I do something significant to the car that changes it from it's stock appearance.
