Just Bought A New IS
I am new to Lexus both in general and as a fan. I always viewed them as a luxury version of Toyotas (which obviously they are) but in a sense of boring and practical (except the LFA of course).
I had a 2013 Camry which I loved and was very practical for my 84 mile daily total commute.
Anyway, after a promotion and trying to get over this chick, I decided to do something big for myself, a new car was much better than renting a Ferrari for a weekend.
Several annoying dealerships later, I ended up at Lexus. Test drove an IS250 F Sport. Fell in love. I wanted that exact one.
3 Hours of annoying paperwork later. I have it !!!!!
I'm very excited and honestly I am surprised with this car, the handling is fantastic, the interior is amazing, I absolutely love it. I am so surprised. My family has had BMWs for a while and I feel my car has higher quality than my fathers 5 series...
Anyway, I need to ask, as a new owner, what should I know or set up with the car?
I've already set up my phone/bluetooth, car now reads text messages, etc. Downloaded the Lexus Enform app, but I don't see how it links to the car?
Added my home address into the nav.. am I missing anything else?

Congrats... I got the IS350 Fsport just three days ago. I was reluctant on going to a Lexus dealer but am I glad that I did and drove this car... Absolute blast to drive with the 8spd trans and the handling is very nice....
Enjoy your new ride.. Good choice

Oh how could I forget. Below is the first picture I took after I test drove it. Pre-Tint. Had the dealership tint the windows for me before leaving.

Congrats! I recently got my IS as well. I love this car everything about it. The chassis and handling is so well done. I came from a modded evolution 8 with great handling. Definitely two different car but this point in my life the Lexus fits me better. I don't miss the evo one bit! Take care of her!

Dealerships tint windows? or was it a special that only your local dealer does?
