Awesome upgrade mate, congratulations on the buy!

Funny you mention it, I booked in my car today for the airbag recall..

This makes 2 cars in 6 months being recalled for the exact same issue.

I remember you complaining multiple times on the forums that "Toyota/Lexus suspension and steering sucks" and explicitly telling others to not buy Lexus vehicles yet here you are with another Lexus.

Indeed i did make posts against Lexus, you should go to Gen3 IS forum and read my 1k+ views thread, 50k-60k thousand dollars is not a joke car that's why i had to say that to collect more info and experience on the gen3, Q60 or Q50 isn't a joke either, i went Lexus once again over Q60 for my Wife, my Wife wants Lexus, i wanted to try something new but Happy Wife Happy Life ! speaking of Suspension yes Lexus IS suspension is not that better than Q60 AMG or Msport or Audi you know better, i spoke the true but that don't mean i'm going to Buy Infiniti Mercedes nor BMW and Audi, why is it hurt you when i post against or the true about Lexus Suspension ? and omg you still remember it come on bro you are not young ! 50k $ thousands car is not a JOKE ! buying a car is not a toy.

I just say it for fun, don't you worry about air bag recall it's 1.5 hours of labor and charge back to Lexus Corp, my friend Acura CSX just had his air bag recall done yesterday it said 1 hour after that he got a free car wash service etc.

I recall quite a few roadtest reviews where the 3IS 350 F-Sport outshone it's competitors, absolutely nothing wrong with the 3IS suspension setup. Many of the 3IS's benefits can be had with F-Sport accessories on the 2IS though. Anyways, I wouldn't be surprised to see water pump leaks spring up as the 3IS ages. Water pumps seem to be a Toyota/Lexus staple as they pile on the miles, not like it's a hard job on the IS to replace it though.

... On the $50k note, you could easily have reached that with a loaded 2IS 350 back in the day.

I agree even lexus suspension isn't that firm like competitors but it lasts longer that's what I'm going for. Water pump on the is350 gen2 last too and it's all depend , the 250 I'm not sure but I rarely see it breaks on 350 , the dealer I traded in my 2011 is350 they took hour to inspect and drove drive , its drive like new even the mileage is a little high it's 100k miles around 150k in km the guy was like wow and accepted the trade right away. I was really impressed with IS350 from gen2 to gen3 . Lemme express my feeling. Lexus has successfully designed the gen3 f sport , I love it inside out bro. Drove the gen3 Fsport for 3 days now and I love it I even had a dream I was driving it lol
