2006-IS250, 6spd=111K.
All exh valves were replaced, uploaded new ECU software version, tranny 1st/2nd gear synchros are slowly wearing and at times hard to place in 1st. Clutch is good.
All maint has been done and up to date by Lexus.

Even though I returned it already..
2006 IS350
58k miles
both rear door locks are dead, glove compartment is harder to open (must push up first), right passenger window is starting to make weird motor sound. That's all I can remember right now.

2007 is250 (purchased jan 07) just passed 65K
I commute 90-ish miles a day with the JP neck pillows.
All service done at the dealerships, no major problems or repairs that were not recalls or me hitting a doghouse at 70mph (seriously).

IS-SV: The car developed a misfire around 90K.
After 3 weeks at the dealer and help from Japan the car was diagnosed that cylinder exhaust valve/spring #3 wasn't seating properly allowing blow-by/hesitation/rough idle and misfires.
The car runs strong and I must commend Lexus standing behind their product all the way.
