Default 2015 rc

Hey guys, just wondering if you can give me some insight. I currently have a 2014 IS250 FSport. I'm thinking about getting a 2015 RC350 FSport in USB. The one I'm looking at is listed for 33k, and only has 26k miles on it. It looks great, one owner car on a lease. My question is, being that it's the 1st year of the model, there can sometimes be little gremlins in 1st year cars. Have there been any issues that Lexus fixed in 2016 that were found in the 1st year of the model? I know there were some with my IS that Lexus changed in 2015 and later years. Thanks.

My only gripes with my 2015 were:

- Sunroof wind deflector would often stick (was fixed under warranty)
- Sunroof sunshade often rattles when closed (no fix that I know of)
- Bluetooth microphone was present crazy feedback (fixed with a firmware update)

Others have mentioned the fans on their cooled seats are not strong; mine have been great.

It's a good car for everyday use. Sporty and supple. I've been very happy with it -- and -- the USB 2.0 paint colour is still turning heads daily (in a place where I'm surrounding my Porsche, McLaren and everything else under the sun...

Also on the 2015 models the Nav screen ant-reflective coating comes off (bubbles) and they have a service bulletin for it: L-SB-0002-16. No biggie, as they will replace it under warranty for free (as long as its not user caused damage)

Same thing happened to my IS. It was fixed under warranty also.
