Unfortunately I don't think those Lexus certified cars really mean they properly inspected the car for issues prior to putting it on the lot. The only thing they are good for is the warranty piece of it.

So many mistakes in this and the funny thing is "2007 Lexus ISF" is not the biggest.

I got a new Camaro as a rental yesterday. Couple of observations:
1) As noted, visibility is god awful, not even sure why there are windows. Get used to only using your mirrors and back up cam, no point in trying to turn your head to look out the rear. I actually sat through a red to green light because I couldn't see the light bc the front windshield is so low! LOL!
2) A small boy taking his parents trashcan to the curb stopped and stared at the car as it went by in awe.
3) Immediately after that I passed another Camaro driver and they waved hi.
4) Getting into the car is a controlled crash.
5) The drivers seatbelt is practically in the back seat and really hard to grab.
6) The interior is very claustrophobic--it's really low.
7) Confirms my feelings that I hate turbo 4 motors and turbo lag!! Ugh!!

I'm happy for Tammer--we all should be. I feel no disrespect that he decided to get a new car--you could hear it coming from his posts. We've all been there before where we justify our current car but have a hidden tinge for another ride. That decision always comes with good and bad.

I think it's shocking how many new cars there are on the road with this problem. It seems like over half the cars I get into these days have blind spots. It's gotten progressively worse since the early 2000s. I'm not picking on Camaros - just most new cars in general. Have we learned nothing??

It's not even a blind spot, it is just blind! The new cars rely on cameras and sensors to allow for styling cues.

Buddy just got his 1LE version back from the dealer this week. Valve spring collapsed. Motor has less than 15k on it. Needless to say it scared me off from Chevy again. This is the 3rd chevy platform he has owned that has some valve train issue.
