Default Looking for experience

Hello all, we're thinking on getting a 2025 IS300. Dealer is at least a 3 hour drive away, so I'm looking for people's experience with problems that need warranty. Local Toyota dealer will do servicing but not warranty work so we'd have to drive at least 3 hours. I know no one car is as good as the other, sometimes it's always in the shop the others never need warranty. Just looking to get a vibe on what to expect.

I never needed anything done on mine, except that the amplifier died around 110,000 miles (see pinned thread in this subforum). And that wasn’t warranty work anyway. United Radio repaired mine.

I bought an 23 IS 300, it's at 49k miles with no issues whatsoever, only regret is that I should've gotten the IS 350, but no complaints whatsoever.
