i hate the wood... and i hate the bump right next to my leg when im driving (AWD)... and i hate the space between my wheel and my car

its okay though everything besides the bump can be fixed

 

my stereo is up too loud to hear that buzz people hear in there ear, as for things i dislike. The excessive brake dust, other then that its a wonderful car.

 

Hate is too strong a word, but I'm not happy with the sound of the base stereo. If ML had been available I'd have bought it, but it is special order only in the northeast, and I didn't want to wait four months. If I had it to do over, I'd have found an ML equipped car in a different region and had it shipped.

I wish the car had better steering feel. It's definitely a notch below the German competition.

I wish the IS350 had been available with both a manual transmission and all wheel drive. I really enjoyed the combination of big power, all wheel drive traction and a manual tranny in a couple of my previous cars (AWD Eagle Talon and Audi S4), and would have preferred it in my IS too.

The rest of my complaints are rather minor:
Fuel door release button not lighted
Safety nannies (e.g., blocking out song titles, caller ID, etc.) are too intrusive

 

maybe not the best angle to show my frustration, but you get the idea if you have the same issue.

 

Yes, we discussed that one in detail here:

yea, that was a fun one. that was when i had my car on order. then i got it 2 months after. and i hate it! i disagree though, it is not a flaw. i would design them facing up, knowing that americans are gonna fill that console with everything known to man. possibly in japan, every adapter is 90 degrees. or possibly samsung forsaw the IS having this port and making their AC adapter a monstrosity.as you can see, i do not have the SiK adapter yet.

 

handles worse than the 1st gen? i haven't driven a 1st gen, but i'm having trouble believing it.

 

I hate where they put the parking/emergency brake. Make me feel like I'm in a grandma car everytime I use it.

 

I hate the Haters who are hating on my IS becasue:
- it's a IS350 and has no manual tranny
- has a small back seat
- has brake dust on the rims
- has Nav & ML and doesn't play DVD while moving (yet)
- it's a '06 and has the Nav override
- goes 0-60 < 5.3 and 1/4 < 13.8 in pure stock form
- etc, etc, etc (plug in any of the usual threads in CL here)

Bottom line, would do it all over again in a heartbeat . . .

 

Simple solution to that problem is DON"T USE IT!! Anyway, you are in FL and they don't any elevation change there.

 

I HATE the navigation grey buttons! Way too many restrictions.
I HATE the fact that the caller id is blocked when I am moving.

Everything else LOVE IT!

 

There is nothing I hate about my IS350. It's a perfect car! However, I would like following things for IS350:
- AWD
- Manual Transmission
- Ability to input on NAV while driving. Although this can be done with some hacking, it would be nice to have this come from factory. I had Acura TL w/ Nav before IS350, I can input stuff on Nav while driving. This is not a big deal though.
- A little more aggressive suspension with sport package. It would be nice to have a little more lowered ride than current 0.5" drop with sport suspension.

Other than those, I don't see anything wrong with this car. It's a perfect car! I love driving it!

 

I must use it when I need to turn off TRAC control.

 

The nav system is horrible.

 

Dislikes:

1. Brake dust - very excessive.

2. Door stops when swinging the doors open. The door stops don't catch when you throw the door open. Then door comes right back at you and slams shut. Not convenient when your hands are full trying to exit your car.
