Default I LOVE my new Lexus IS 350 RWD F Sport

Just got done today driving my boy "Sonic" through California mountains and zipping through highway 1...

2016, 34K miles, $25K price, $1500 5YR/60K mile extended warranty.

I love every single thing about this car. Besides the cupholders, limited space (compared to my previous crossover), squeeks during cold start (probably needs new rear pads/rotors), may need new tires (slips), this is an AMAZING car.

From shift.com 🙂 it was the only place locally that sold in USB color.

Even better, it didn’t have the navigation package so I got the circular **** for menu traversing haha.

Congrats!

Yeah the squeaky brakes during cold starts is a pretty normal occurrence. Wouldn't hurt to check the pads/rotors, but even when they are healthy, some squeaking will happen until they get warmed up. Mine's been doing that since day 1.

Car looks great! The IS looks awesome in blue.

The stock tires, even on F Sport, are disappointing. They slip in the rain where my Michelins never did.

I will be replacing the tires with Pilot Sport 4 S ASAP

As stated previously, the squeaks and squeals from our brakes are normal.

I've been looking for that blue for a while. Also, it sounds like a great deal on price!
