No regrets, yet.
I bought this car cuz I know it should be a great daily driver.
Good think I kept my s2000 and use that to have fun.
I'm glad that so far not many or any big problems yet with my new Lexus

I miss the old sport compact car (03 Celica GT) because it's a totally different car to drive than the IS. I love my IS, but I could go for another sport compact car like a S2K, Supra (not compact but you get the idea) or whatever.

No regrets at all. Coming out of 2 ES300's (a 1994 and 2000) I looked at and drove everything. I like the great looks, the horse-power, the handling, the Lexus reliability and the features of my IS350!!! 
Did I mention the friggin great looks of this car?
Oh yeah, I did. Also, I like the fact that there's not 50 of them in sight as I drive down the road (like BMW's and MB's).
Also, did I mention I really like the great looks of this new IS350!
Plus, it's just plain cool!

I regret the purchase of my 350 everyday. That's only because its still being built and I won't see it now until May. There are none on the roads I take to and from work so when driving I think. . . should I have gotten something else. I think maybe it will be to small inside. Maybe to narrow. Maybe too much power. Just kidding.
But then I think, NO I did pick the best car on the market in this class. Just tired of waiting. Just tired of not knowing where it is.

My only regret so far is paying for a clear bra, TWICE.
I was thinking about getting the bra before delivery but was turned off by the cost. Sure enough, within the VERY FIRST MILE of owning the car, basically driving it off the dealer lot, I get a big *** rock chip down to the metal right in the middle of the hood. I tried to ignore it for a few days, but it kept eating and gnawing at me. I basically never had that "new car feeling" because my new car had a big old black cyclops on the hood. Anyway, I take it back to the dealer, they charge me $400 to fix the rock chip and another $450 for the 3M deluxe kit. Shoulda just got the kit in the first place

The car had 70k miles on it, and 22k on the new motor. The car gave me 4 years of pure driving pleasure and I loved every moment of it. However for some reason the car loves to be rear-ended ( I got hit twice) .
Also maintainence was a headache and I just didn't want to have a car out of warranty so I had to let her go.

No regrets on the purchase - it makes a great daily driver!
