The right stuff! (as in pulls hard right)

The steering is horrible. The vehicle alignment throws you to the curb, especially on wet surfaces. According to two different dealerships, the car is within spec. This is a car that is all for show, definitely not performance (and I opted for the F Sport). If you are an enthusiast, stick with the Germans or Brits. The pursuit of perfection? Far from it. Update: Since the above mentioned issue, Lexus of Tampa Bay went above and beyond to handle correcting the issue. ALL 8 South Florida locations I visited either inspected the car and retutned it with condescending and/or bogus explanations or outright refused to look at the car. The worst offender being JM Lexus. Lexus of Tampa were the only one interested in pleasing a customer. In summation, once corrected, the car has indeed been pleasing to drive but, it is more or less just for turning heads and getting attention. If you are a Toyota brand enthusiast, get a V6 Camary or a Lexus IS and save 10's of thousands. The early experience, poor customer service from Corporate and time that I had to invest in order to correct a factory issue they tried to ignore has made me a one time only Toyota/Lexus brand buyer.

Under 11k miles, 3 years, and serious problems

With under 11k miles and 3 years of ownership with easy driving, I have had to already replace the front brake rotors from aluminum to steel (a downgrade) due to a design defect as well as a rear shock based on what the dealership described to me as a "freak faulty part". Right now, the front facing A/C vents are spewing cold air on the drivers side and hot air on the passenger side without dual climate control enabled, if it pushes air out the front facing vents at all. Another trip to the dealership on the books.

Have really enjoyed this car. Great value for the money, with Lexus quality and reliability. Was a bit disappointing after driving an SC for 10 years, which had more luxury interior, and lots more storage. New technology is fantastic! Love the Mark Levinson, sounds fantastic.
