Car doe not to start after sitting for a few days
We bought a Lexus IS 350 f sport as a second car for a two person retired couple. Salesperson knew we did not drive it regularly and it could sit for week or two at a time. I was surprised to find out after 8 days the car would not start. After discussing the issue with Lexus, they stated this is standard on many Lexus models. The car draws so much electricity when not in use, if the car sits for "8" days will not start. If the car is left at the airport locked, you can not get in the car to even jump it. Lexus's answer: They will provide a plug in solar panel to mount to the car, or a battery plug in!!!!!! Yes, honestly that was the answer.

This is one of the best cars I have ever driven.
The performance is impressive coming from a V6 and it is so comfortable for a small sports car. The interior isn't bad at all it is like being in a modern art museum! The mouse on the dashboard is extremely helpful. I could look up traffic alerts and it automatically changes my route so I don't have to go into heavy traffic. I would prefer this to any Audi.

Lexus Lover that just upgraded...
I bought my first Lexus, aka as my Silver Bullet, in early 2014. I loved my car from the get go. It will still probably be my favorite car I have ever owned. I recently upgraded to a 2014. What the 2014 lacks from my 2006 makes up for what my 2006 lacked. I love the blind spot monitors but they only really work properly when the car is RIGHT next to you. My 06 did not have these so I do like them, but the sensoring could be better. Can we talk about how annoying the park assist is in a drive-through!!!... It beeps constantly and I feel like I have to be a foot or more from the window for it to stop constantly beeping, but again my 06 had none of these features so this are just minor annoyances. I got the AWD and the suspension feel to me is still an adjustment. My 06 was standard RWD before, so I feel like I feel bumps more easily now in the 14. I do love the feel of the new seats, and the back seat seems to be much roomier than the 06 - 12 model line was before. so very much a plus, but think the biggest issue I have is why did Lexus take away the touch screen ability!! I get it to an extend because the new model the screen sits further down into the dash that I couldn't really reach the new screen while driving, but the mouse is weird to me. I have heard and seen a lot of people complain about these so hopefully Lexus will listen for the new model line and bring back the touch screen. So much easier to navigate and use! All and all I love both cars and will probably buy a third IS down the line as I have overall been extremely happy with the reliability of this brand.

It sits too low
I love everything about this car except how low it sits. Front end is below the average curb level. Mind did not come with parking sensors and I can't find them anywhere aftermarket. This car should come stock with parking sensors - disappointed.
Great car
Awesome car that is well balanced all around.
