So far for me, just a couple

Console squeaks - need to rip apart the dash and put felt
I did have the click/clunks on my rear suspension when i took it up the canyons
No change in steering feel when chaining to sport/+
Mark Levinson sounds mediocre compared to my Bang & Olufsen in my 11' A4

The seats are wearing more than any of the many cars I've owned in the past.
Lint collects on the headliner very easily,
Gas milage sucks,
Headlights are not bright wish I had HIDs instead of LEDs.
My nav still lags and flashes blue

Prob more that I can't think of at the moment. But I still love my car!

My car was too quiet so I just ordered the f-sport exhaust

- Center console shows scratches too easy
- weak paint ( too soft) - I have 10K on my car and the front end looks like it has 100K. Detailing is a hobby of mine and has been since 2006. I can post pics, but my car is never dirty nor sees the elements. - color is obsidian
- slow Nav - learn to deal and its ok.
- Ive gotten locked out of my car on bad weather days ( had to use manual key) there was lightening so many that had something to do with it ( happened 3x in total ) Owned since Nov'13
- Poor seat quality ( as mentioned )

Interesting thought about the tightening steering feel.

From what I understand, sport is suppose to tighten steering just as well as Sport+.

I have RSR Coils on, and when I turn on Sport, the steering does feel slightly tighter? It could be in my head. And when switched to Sport+ it feels softer. My AVS system is unplugged.

Although when I was on stock suspension i felt no noticeable difference from sport to sport+

only Sport+ tightens the wheel and suspension, I definately notice the difference between both modes

Hahaha That's funny. I have a 2003 Nissan Pathfinder with 100k+ miles and General all season truck tires and it's quieter than the IS. I attribute it to the low profile tires and hard Turanzas which will be tossed as soon as possible.

my issues are slow nav. but i never use it anyway

poor fuel economy. but that was expected.

road noise is not an issue, it is quieter than my dad's c250 and his car has 17 inchers. It is noisier than his E250 though, but only slightly

What i like:
- the reverse camera. very accurate and quick to launch.
- ride quality. even on 18 inchers, they ride extremely well!
- handling. did some hill climbing with my friends. loving it
- xenons. very bright but a little blue-er wouldve been awesome.
- DRLs and LED tail lights. whenever i see another one.

Hey jennypenny -- didn't you used to be in California or Jersey (can't remember which)? When did you go to Singapore?

davyjordi

on the first point -- do you have leather seats or, rather, do you have nuluxe?

jennypenny

i am from Singapore!!

haha.. by default, the location settings was California. Then i realised some members were asking which part of california i am from.

Oh! Okay, thanks.

Gracenote is driving me nuts. Even the dealer can't turn it off. They said they will look into it and will attempt again at my next service.

Problems with my GraceNote:
- turning it off from the car menu does absolutely nothing.
- can't find anywhere to clear the cache
- when the phone is connected, GraceNote is activated and downloads useless images for the USB device. Even when it's set to off.

For all new owners, the first thing you should do during delivery is go into the menu and turn this POS off. You can decide later if you want it or not. Once it's cached it's a freaking nightmare and annoying little icon that pops up to taunt you everyday.

GraceNote and a few minor infosystem glitches make me feel like I have an Audi. Other than that, I'm glad there are no mechanical issues.

Oh and the ML not sounding as good as the 2IS. I noticed the speakers are very front bias.

I'll be honest, the only noticeable thing about sport/+ is the throttle response and higher shift points. Everything else feels the same or lighter, not tighter.

Rust issues definitely need to get addresses quick, don't want that spreading but I haven't had any problems and my car is in the sun all day everyday, unfortunately.

Suspension clunks I have found to be pretty common and come and go randomly, I still always get them checked out, but most of the time they can't find anything. Again, just my personal experiece with different cars, luxury or not. Sport suspensions, or not.

I think the engine noise needs to be more specific, ticking is def attributed to direct injection, I personally think it's not really an attractive sound, but most cars are heading that way now so what are you gonna do.

Cabin noise is relative, coming from an Acura and comparing to a brand new BMW we also just bought, mind you it's a 3 series, but still, Lexus is quiter depending on the road surface, and tires. Turanzas are louder than most, switching them out might help, but if you're talking about just wind noise, it's defnitely quiter than what I've had before.

Again, most stuff is gonna be relative. But just get it checked out for the big stuff, it's not a perfect car, but it's not a bad overall package. Just saying...
