DELIVERED: 2014 Lexus IS 350 F-Sport - Ultra White / Rioja Red
I have been working on a deal for a IS 350 F-Sport for a little over a week or so. This was a longer distance transaction since the dealer wasn't local to me. With that said, they found the exact car I wanted and got it to me for zero cost with a great deal. ME = HAPPY!
Options: BSM, Mark Levinson Audio, Accessory Kit and VGRS
I just got back from putting ~35 miles on the car and I love it. The only thing I'd wish for was a bit more power but then again my last car in this segment was a C63 with over 500HP, so I'm a bit spoiled in the power department.
Love how the car handles, drives and feels. It's better than the car I test drove and I really like the VGRS. The transmission in Sport+ shifts VERY quickly when under power with very little lag. The brakes are good and strong while the overall ride quality of the car on various types of roads is great.
I really like the whole package and I have zero regrets. More than pleased with the car.
Blah, blah... blah - here are some pics (I'll get better ones, my Samsung Galaxy S4 hates glare):
If anyone is looking for a great dealer that will go the extra mile without any hassles or up selling, please check out DCH Lexus of Oxnard. I worked with Leo Berry and he gave me a great deal with great service. I asked for updates to be done to the car (like the navigation update), they were done without question. I asked them to have the windows tinted and he got it done. They also got the car to me quickly and overall, it was one of the best experiences I've had when picking up a new car. Tell him David from Elk Grove sent you his way if you decide to give them a try. I don't have any association with them, but I do very much appreciate great service.
Alright folks. I'm going for another drive!

I have not had good luck with Lexus Enform . I did have the navigation updated to V8500 prior to the car shipping to me. It seems to function pretty well, but I have not been able to get Pandora to work where it actually played audio. It plays a song, but I can't hear it. BT audio works fine.

Congrats! Your IS looks nice and it looks like it is fully loaded. I see you have the power telescoping steering wheel for your IS350 F Sport which is not absent in the Canadian F Sport offering. Not sure if it has been answered in other threads, will the steering wheel move away from you when you turn off the engine?
Thanks.
Thanks.
I love this car!

This is the best bang for the buck car I've driven in a very long time. Every mile makes me like it even more.
And my Enform just started working, so I was rocking Pandora the whole time and it works great. No issues with the navigation system now that I can tell. The interface isn't what I would call super intuitive but I'll get used to it.

They did a dealer trade which added on the miles and then shipped it to me. It arrived with around 190 miles. It now has 290 miles.

Not sure. I did reboot my phone (Samsung Galaxy S4). However after I did that, everything works fine.
One tip - if you guys buy the car, tell the dealer to program the car so that the windows to roll down using your key fob (holding the unlock button). They did it for me based on my request and I know I'll appreciate it on warm summer days. You need a Toyota TechStream to do it and it cannot be any other way.
