I love my IS just the cup holders location and the gear box (too smart), I wish that I could get and stock 18inch wheels in Macau!! Otherwise my IS in 100 out of 100!

 

The brake dust - front wheels are filthy after 2 days . . .

That the dealers drill the front bumper for the front plates - Lexus could've designed a less destructive way to mount a plate . . .

Otherwise, it's all good

 

wow my thoughts exactly. Steering response sucks compared to a 3 series and the paddle shifters dont give you full control of shifting.

If they put more feel back into the steering this would be the perfect car!

 

The nav system nanny. Why do I have to agree every freakin time I want to use the nav; why do they disable the full functionality of the system and the phone? BMW doesn't disable any functionality, although they do have the I agree screen.

Less annoying but still should be fixed is the auxilliary power outlet location--what were the Lexus designers thinking? Also the radio station interface is pretty lame. Believe it or not the BMW interface (IDrive, yes IDrive) is easier to use and has more functionality.

Lack of standard tilt-down in reverse mirrors when backing up. Should not be bundled with the luxury package.

 

That is why I chose to not put on a vanity plate (Gators). I did not want to damage the bumper; plus it looks so clean without a front plate.

 

More than 9 months into ownership, I'm still the same way!
