I dunno, I mentioned it my dealer and he gave me an evil eye look like it would have been a problem. he didn't exactly say no but he didn't say yes either

Then I asked about an IS-F, they had some exec demo but they wanted almost full price for it, so I told them I wanted one brand new...they didn't wanna do some work to find the exact car I wanted, it was like they didn't want my business or something.

In the end I got something nicer than an F and will probably just buy out my lease when it's up in a few months

Sounds like a crappy dealership. This particular dealer has been good about getting me the car I want and for a better price than the other dealers in my area will offer. This will be my 3rd car from them so it may also be that they want to keep my business.

I don't know about the crappy one, you will have to ask MAxximus. The dealer I use is Scanlon in Ft. Myers.

Oh to clarify, this is only on the freeway. On the surface streets, it's fine, but on the freeway I always think I forgot to close the moonroof all the way because of the noise.

Oh my gosh, CUTE!! I have a cat so that is why I asked, I will probably be going crazy trying to keep this car clean....

I wonder if anyone else has this noise issue on the freeway? I want a comfortable freeway cruiser.

Seriously - my SGM F-Sport comes next week and those fake suede seats + a fluffy shiba inu (ref: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/the...uppy-yuki.html) is a nightmare waiting to happen. Still haven't found a classy enough seat cover for the back to put her in yet either.

^_^ Yep, definitely keep a little travel-sized lint roller in the car and you'll be fine I haven't heard or seen any other mention of cabin noise on the freeway, so it could just be mine =/

Heheh no, he doesn't like car rides but any fur of his that happens to be on my back, butt, legs, arms, etc...ends up on my seats haha

Oohhh!!! Yes, get a seat cover or prepare to clean a lot of fur haha these seats are like a magnet for fur and lint, but boy do they look good when then are clean

Looks like you have the USB, how is the paint? How bad does it show scratches and dirt?

I am starting to think I might like it, especially on some twisty roads. It might even almost compare to my old 944... me and that car had some good times together.
