Default '06 Owners: How happy are you 3 years later?

So my baby turned 3 years old today.

Even 3 years later, I LOVE my car to no end. Despite buying a first year re-design, I have no regrets. Sure, there were were minor annoyances here and there but over all, I fall deeper and deeper in love with her everyday!

Any other '06 owners feel the same? All thoughts are welcome, good or bad.

im coming up on 2yrs, no regrets, imo there still isn't any japanese car in its price range that can compete with the 2IS looks/performace/lvl of refinement.

*only said japanese cars cuz euro/domestic dont belong in the same sentence *

I have an '06 that I've owned since December and I love the car! Sure, it's not as fast as the Supra, but in other ways it's just as fun (if not more) to drive.

wow. can't believe i'm coming up to three years next month. being a first-time lexus owner, i expected nothing but the best ownership experience. for the most part, my expectations has been met.

on a tangent, the 2is community, its members, and clublexus as a whole has definitely added positive value to my ownership experience. although everyone here shares different opinions regarding style and value to differing degrees, i'm sure that we all love our 2is's for both their good and not-so-good (can the aftermarket industry please offer us MOAR?).

I have an 06 and my warranty is up in 5k miles. To celebrate, I've been doing all the mods I've promised to hold off on until my warranty expired =)

I've had zero issues since I bought it and all i Can say is - I love this car
