loud idle
do you guys experience a somewhat loud rumbling idle? it's not any grinding noise or anything (in fact, it sounds somewhat mean, and I like it) but do you guys also have this sound when idle or even revving lightly in 1st gear?

Hey NYG it's me again South Jersey Giants fan. On my Wife's new '12 IS-250 the cold start RPM's is higher than any other car I've owned, but I read it's normal for the 2.5 DI engine. No other noise once it's warmed up. Yeah I won't miss Osi either. Hopefully they'll all stay healthy.
Make sure you're using 91 octane to prevent pinging or rough engine.

hey man! great to hear from you again. I hope we get a great rb and linebacker in the draft! Thanks for the input, I really do appreciate it, but again, I do not mean high RPMs. my RPMs are staying fairly low actually, its just a slight "mean" steady rumble when idling or revving on 1st gear.
anyone else here with the issue?

I asked my service advisor and he stated it was designed just so the engine warms up faster during winter times ....
All the best !

I live up north in Ontario. Here is my experience, almost everyday I start and warm the car a little. When I drive off, at least the first 5 mins the car has this steady rumble when the car is fully stopped. It idles at about 600 - 700 rpm then goes up to 1k rpm. After that it dials down and becomes pretty quiet. Not sure if that is what you meant.
