No center console rattle but I do get odd little creaks around different doors some times. With a car with so much sound deadening in it, you notice every little small sound in the interior.

yea i do notice the creaks here around the door pillars or dash etc. But this is driving me insane. Does anyone know where the screws or clips are to hold the center console in? it seems like its kinda loose and that might be the reason why its squeeking.

Also, does anyone else have the passenger seat rattle or wobble? I had it in my 95 es as well as my 03es and my roomate had it in his SC300. It seems as if the part of the seat you lean on(the back of the seat) gets weak within the mechanism of the seat and starts to rock back and foward when there is no weight in the seat causing a rattle...

If you read down this thread a little. It basically outlines how to access the center console.

Edit: Something odd I noticed when I had an RX350 as a loaner is that the passenger seat was doing some major wobbling. I mean I could literally see at the seat wobbling around when I start going maybe over 60mph. I thought maybe some bolts were loose but it seemed highly unlikely. Weird.

I haven't come to notice this in my ES but maybe I'll check the next time I'm in it.
