Got me a 2010 RX350 as a loaner during my valve recall work on my IS350

Brought mine into Keyes Lexus this past Tuesday for the valve spring recall and they gave me an Enterprise rental car. I requested one of their loaner vehicles but they said those are reserved for non recall customers only. I ended up with a crappy Mazda 3 that had power windows but didn't have power locks. What kind of car doesn't have power locks nowadays? Got the car back yesterday. The service would've cost $2400 if it wasn't covered under the recall.

I took my in the other day for this recall. The service guy said I'm behind 5 recalls, so they're going to do all them. They also loaned me a 2011 IS250 AWD with lux and nav. I love the new little features on this car, but man this thing is a dog.

I had mine in a couple of weeks ago. I got an IS250 Lux Pkg car, and most of my co-workers thought I had the same ride (it was also white). Rest assured, it was NOT the same ride! I'm shocked that there are folks out there that claim their IS250 will beat an IS350 on a track. I just don't see it. My Grandma could probably beat a 250 in my 350 on a track. The power availability discrepancy between the two cars is just sick! Quite possible that those who make that claim haven't driven a 350 very much.

Anyhow, mine was in the shop for 6 days before I got to pick it up. "And on the 7th day, I picked up my baby.....!!!"

They gave me a Toyota Corolla at first and told me to come back later in the day for a RX350 due back.


Just playing it safe, my car has 40k miles on it, I heard the problems were showing up around 70-80k.

I drove a is250 before buying my 350. The second I put my foot down on the 350 I forgot what a 250 was and instantly stopped looking to purchase one.

I had a guy at a gas station tell me that his buddy just bought a 250 and told me I was an idiot for paying 5k more for my 350 when I could have put an exhaust and intake on for less$ and be faster than an is350. I was speechless at first, then I explained some numbers and pretty much put this guy in place in front of his friends and girlfriend. Nothing better than an Idiot in a riced out honda civic telling you they know more than you about your car.

Great daily driver and gives very good comfort, but I don't feel confident taking corners or swift turns on it. Power is there and is NOT a dog like when I had a 250, ES350 or a HS hybrid ( SLOOOOWWWW)

Would be sweet if they ever give me a LS460 hahahhahah
