  1. Hi all, Now that the 3rd generation IS has been out for a while, I was hoping to get a sense of the likes and dislikes of the car. My mom has a 2012 Camry and I love the performance of the 6-speed transmission, which I believe is the same used in the IS. I know the engines are different, but is the shifting quality good? Do these have a lot of rattles and squeaks? Is the 250 model underpowered? Also, is the satellite radio a Sirius or XM unit? I know it's the same company, but the Sirius units seem to have awful sound quality whereas the XM units do not. Thanks! Mike
  2. Thanks for the feedback. Have there been opinions given of the 2014/2015 IS transmission? Is it as good as the previous model's? Also, does Lexus use XM or Sirius transponders (XM has better sound quality)?
  3. Hi everyone, I'm a new member here and was hoping to get some feedback or advice. I'm thinking of trading in later this year and considering a 2011-2013 IS350 AWD with automatic, xenons, and navigation. Two of my biggest pet peeves are: 1) squeaks and rattles; and 2) unrefined transmission performance. Can you give me a sense for how solid these are and if the automatic shifts smoothly? What are some of the weaknesses of these cars I should be aware of? I'd be trading from a 2010 Acura TL, which has one of the most unrefined automatic transmissions in history. Thanks for the feedback! Mike
