Aija Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 2 good things : 1. its a lexus 2. its reliable 2bad things: 1. VERY HIGH insurance. KBB rated IS300 #1 on insurance rip off rates. 2. IS350 really makes the old ones look outdated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartkat Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Keep your scheduled maintenance up to date, keep it waxed, and it will run long time. I never had a minute's trouble out of my 02. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you can do the oil changes yourself or have it done at Jiffy or somewhere like that. Just keep the receipts. I think the only service you need to take to the dealer would be the 30,000, 60,000 miles etc. Part of those such as coolant change, etc you can still do for yourself. It's just to make sure everything gets done and there is a record of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rx330driver Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 (edited) Id have to say, i really dont enjoy the car that much. My 02' IS is small, loud, and has plastic everywhere. There is no air-con in the back. All of a sudden, you get this loud fan coming from the car which i assume is trying to stop the hot engine which you can feel through the hood. Everything is plastic from the buttons on the dash to the things on top between the dash to the windshield. Ive driven toyotas that at least use fake leather for those parts. Theres also a very small back seat, which because i am 6 feet gives the person behind me nothing. Absolutely no adults in the back. Cool things include fast acceleration when needed and it still looks alright except when it is next to a new IS as pointed out. Also, as much as you change the wiper blades, they will never get a perfect wipe....ever. lol-still a great car!
