I recently had an 08 Lexus IS, and was very satisfied.
It was sold, and now have an ISC250.
What a shock.
A. The seals are falling off on the trunk and tearing at the doors.
B. Rattles and noise are extremely annoying as well.
The first week there were none, but now 6 months later, the noise is unbelievable.
Shame on Lexus for allowing so many problems to occur on this vehicle.
It … seems they have cheapened the IS brand to make the ride harsher and by default ruined the ultra quiet ride you would expect in any Lexus vehicle.
Don't get me wrong, we baby our cars, and never drive on dirt etc.
So it's not like we are being excessively harsh on the car. Actually quite the opposite
