25,000 miles 2007 IS350

Tires on front showing steel belts on inside edge @ 19,000 miles
park brake springs rattled over bumps
Drivers seat squeaked
Foglights loose
Squeaks from dash & B-pillar
Paint chips on front bumper much worse than previous car with 140,000 miles

IS350 still faster & sounds better than my Porsche

08' IS250 19.2k (One year tomorrow)
No real issues; dash rattles, seat squeak, break squeak.
Daily driver, work, and everywhere else, it's just fun to drive

Edit update;
One issue! Front tires are at 7/32nds and rears as well,
but front tires have inner uneven wear that require replacement.

'06 IS250 AWD bought 08/06. Just over 81k miles. No problems other than basic TSIB issues. Planning on getting 300k+ miles.

18k after 1 year 2 mo. and no issues really
-mostly conservative driving 50/50, highway/city
-still riding on factory tires, brakes, shocks, etc.
-only the dash creaking but that's bearable

18k ish.....since Oct. of 07 everyday car, no problems so far except the usual sun/moon roof and dash sounds and rattles but other than that... The awesomeness is always present.

get an oil change every 1k-1.5k (synthetic) its a lot of help but a little pricey.about $70 each time, but if u can afford an IS you can do 70bucks
it'll prolly help you till 200,000 miles...and its good for ur engine.

little over 44,000 miles on car

All is good except headlights, about 2 weeks ago one headlight went out then about a week ago the other did. Had been driving with just fog lights on then just switched to high beams.

Also still on original set of tires.
