Since I'm waiting for the car, I have nothing to do except to know more about the car. So what do you hate about your IS?

haha hate is a strong word to use...

i don't like the annoying moonroof noise when it's tilted, although it's not that big of a deal. oh and the occasional brake squeaking. but nothing big.

this car is great!

The only thing I could possibly dislike, is that the IS350 didn't come in stick.

oh yeah i forgot about that one. actually another one would be the HU lights, i don't like the green color. wish i could change them to white led like the rest of my interior lighting, but seems like too much of a hassle.

That annoying noise at my left ear in the seatbelt pane/window!


But I don't want to take it to the dealer... just yet. Hehe, I'll wait till it gets REALLY annoying.

Hate? Nothing. I'd like the Nav to be more "friendly" and I'd like the voice commands to actually work consistently. I would say I'd like a manual, but this is probably the best automatic I've driven - with one exception - smooth takeoffs are a little bit tricky, the gearbox will tend to ****** on takeoff from time to time depending on exactly how you apply throttle.

I'd also like to say the car is rattle and buzz free, but it isn't. Nothing that can't be fixed though. That left ear buzz does get worse over time.

The only thing I hate about my IS is that I don't have more time to drive
around with no reason. Do you ask all your friends the same question about you?
Why does anyone feel the need to hear negative comments about something
they want or have?
