I have had my 03 IS300 for a couple weeks now. So far I am very pleased. Very quiet and smooth and fun to drive. I am pleasantly surprised at the gas mileage. I have not had a tank under 20mpg yet. Usually anywhere from 21-22 mpg. And that is with doing alot of city driving and stop and go freeway rush hour driving. I also really like the climate control in this car. In other cars I have owned I never used it because it didnt seem to work very well at maintaining the desired temperature. Always hot or cold. The A/C controls are very well organized and easy to use. We have had a couple of warm days where I have used the A/C and it seems to work well. Hope it holds up to the 115 degree days we have here.

The only negative so far is the cupholders. Pretty weak in my opinion. Does anyone know where I can get the piece that divides the two cup holders? Mine is missing.

I agree with that cup holder issue!! I know lexus sells them in canada for about $40 dollars. If anyone can comeup with better price for this divider for cup holder I would defenitly be also interested.

 

I had a cup in there the other day, and made a quick stop. Iced tea went flying! Atleast the divider would help keep th cup in place.

 

I bought my 04 certified preowned and it still didn't come with one. I bought one from the delaership for around $30 i believe.

 

$15 @ my local dealer

 

Lexus of Pembroke Pines is 25.46 shipped. I called my Toyota contact, and will see what she can get it for. Shes local and will get it faster. I have had many, many Toyotas and have always used her and received great service and great prices.

 

Found it locally for $23.xx. Woohoo. And, it will be here tomorrow.

 

Nice post, and continue to enjoy your IS300!

 

i hate that all dealers have different prices. I bought mine at Lexus of County Line (which moved and is now Lexus of North Miami) for $15 a few years back.
