Most commonly, interior rattles pop up but I have yet to gain a new rattle since new (still have the same one that I could never pinpoint and fix). This is a perfect car to hold onto for those who take pride in their vehicles and want a long-term investment.
I had almost purchased an ES and when I say almost purchased I mean I had signed everything and just not taken delivery of the car. I have an emotional bond with my car....I would rather rub the exterior of my IS with my hands than the curves of a woman.

Or at least feels that way when I am running my hands along my car after clay bar and wash!

That's not a good image.

On a related note, my IS slows down a lot more than my other car when my foot is off the gas pedal, how do I fix this?

Drove mine off the lot July of 07' with 10km's and it was among the happiest moments of my life! Currently has 87000km's and have had no issues except all the recalls, but if they want to keep putting new stuff on my car with a loaner and full tank, wash/vacuum afterwards then I say keep them coming. Covered and stored 5 months of the year keeps the miles off.
Sadly, soon for sale as my ISF keeps me entertained and my RX serves me well as a daily.
Very happy Lexus owner,
Cheers!




2007 IS350 Obsidian with GFX kit; 2008 ISF Obsidian (currently 34000kms); 2009 RX350 SGM my daily 101000kms and climbing

Took delivery of my IS350 January, 2006. 65,000 miles and nary a problem. (Just all the recalls!!) Ordered with every single option and they all still work!! I love each one but especially the PCS/Radar cruise.
