  1. My IS350 flasher is very quiet, more quiet than my Mercedes C300.
  2. LEX-SV

    My Vw Gti

    Nice report, given the 2 contrasting cars (GS vs. GTI).
  3. A higher-ride height crossover/SUV can be appreciated by both men and women when driving in heavy traffic.
  4. Not my primary concern (but I do admit having a 4x4 and a lawyer in my family does come in handy).
  5. About 15K on these tires on 17" wheels of Mercedes C300, very good results so far. Excellent value, I would recommend them.
  6. Yes, the Mercedes dealership was pushing something that supposedly was same as stuff "applied to protect jet aircraft finish"....
  7. Nicely done ES350. Is that a chrome finish or polished finish?
  8. Good tire report(s). I assume you have new tires on all 4 corners now.
  9. Family member has 07 Suburban (essentially same as Tahoe) which gets used for local family chores. Since the driving they do is mostly urban/suburban, mileage is 12-13mpg consistently. No significant problems at 80K mileage. I've drove it one weekend and found it to be roomy/useful and a bit dull.
  10. Agreed, don't use dealer for detail work, I use a specialist.
  11. Now it's a thread on honesty, not that I give a flying f. I find the IS350 to be plenty economical, not needing the dulled driving experience of Prius/Insight hybrid.
  12. Hard to see much in pictures here, but looks ok.
  13. Did a 100 mile loop yesterday to the coast and back via 2 lane mountain and country roads mostly. Average was 25.5 mpg.
  14. To attempt to change the fluid risks doing harm on these vehicles, therefore no action required.
  15. Death is a natural event for all. Enjoy.
  16. I know when I need a haircut. I read recommendations in owners manual and reach my own conclusion.
  17. Tires are most likely the biggest contributor to observed difference in quietness. I just had my 2007 IS350 value springs done, car was in shop for 2 days. I had a new loaner 2011 ES350 w/17" wheel/tire setup, very quiet.
  18. My last combo was Porsche 986S/Mercedes ML350. My current Lexus IS350/Mercedes C300 combo has been much more reliable.
  19. Sounds like a good commuter car. Post up a pic when you get a chance pls.
  20. Congrats, sounds like a nice machine. I'd like to see a pic, especially in that color. B)
