Default 2016 IS 200T new to the family.
Picked up a 2016 IS 200T Non F this week. Had 7471 miles on the odometer, one owner here in my state. Has more options then I expected. Premium plus, Navigation, BSM w/RCTA, Intuitive park assist, PCS, and 18" tire and wheel package. Eminent White with Flaxen Nuluxe. Fun little car so far. Only has one key, so I need to bite the bullet and get one made this week at the dealer.

Was surprised a 200T would be built with this many options. Happy with it so far. Much peppier then expected, and the steering is very nimble.

Welcome aboard! First hot tip: for the fob, check the serial number on the circuit board and look it up here:

Fun car! be prepared to eat through front tires and brakes though every 15k miles. If you drive conservatively, a little more. maybe 20k.

Bought this for the daughter. She doesn't need anything faster than this is.

Thinking of when these tires wear out, (figured two would before all 4), I'll pickup the 17" rims that would have been on this without the 18" upgrade and put all four same size tires on it, and sell the 18" without tires.

Changing the tires won't affect anything, if that's your reason for changing to a smaller size. The inherent design of the car is such that it eats front tires. 2IS suffers from the same as the suspension is carried over from the 2IS.

I want to be able to rotate the tires as they will all be one size.

Hello. I don’t go through brakes at near the pace of some of the owners here. Tires are an issue, but even those go longer for me than some here are reporting. I am mostly in the 15 mile to work bumper to bumper grind, followed by a similar drive home. I had 16K miles on my brakes with pad wear at 90% life left and rotors fine at my last maintenance. I am due again now.

Welcome me to CL and the 3IS forum! Enjoy the car.

Thanks for the lead. Purchased the key and added it today via the software. Also deleted the one that was missing.
