Same here!

I am getting about 24 MPG. I am curious if this is about the average of all drivers. I am averaging my snow driving with traffic driving and Highway driving. I just like to know the average regardless if you drive in traffic, snow, slow or fast! Gracias ;)

Good to know, unless I am 15 miles from the nearest key. haha

I go to the garage in the mornings to let my IS warm up before I hit the traffic seen. I was just thinking, what if I left the key fob in my house after starting up the car. When I start driving it away from the house would it shut itself off? I thought I read this on another post but I couldnt find it after searching for a while. Hopefully, this is not a repost! Can anyone tell me if the IS has a timer or something that will not allow the driver to leave without the keys?

Nevermind... found it; http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...showtopic=28405

That's a totally different issue!!! I have that all the time, but it's in my dash. It is just so loud that you think it sounds like a rock hitting the windshield. There is a link somewhere in here discussing this......oh, the other day I had my finger resting on a point in the dash while I was changing radio stations, and that happened. I could feel the popping in my finger!! So weird........ Wow, I can never pin point when it is going to happen. But every time it happens I freak out thinking my windsheild is going to crack. Thing is, today, it happened when I was stopped in traffic. Any idea where that link is? I couldnt find it.

Does it sound like a Rock is hitting your windshield? I just heard that yesterday while driving my car. I think it scares me more than irritates me, since I keep thinking a rock is going through my windshield.

jzflsrt, Where is the AMP located in the IS? I am trying to do the same thing on my '07 250. I need more bass so I was curious if I had AUX outputs on the head or if I can do exactly what you said in the above post.

As a younger adult, I remember putting Subs in my car but I would have to replace the head unit so I could have the proper Audio RCA jacks to connect my AMP. Does anyone know if the Lexus radio already has the RCA jacks on the back of the radio so I can connect directly to them? Maybe I can kill 2 birds with 1 stone and say I hear rattling noises in the dash so they take it apart and then I can ask them to hook up the RCA jacks?:)

So I am debating on Tinting my rear Window and the rear sides. Has anyone done this yet to their IS250? How does it look and how do you like it? I want them tinted for looks really, but I also want to make sure it blocks the sun from my baby sitting in the back seat. Tell me how you like your window tint. I am thinking 5% Limo DARK. Thanks

THIS SEQUENCE SHOULD BE A STICKEY!!! That beeping noise is so annoying. My wife would take her belt off to hand our baby a bottle and BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, etc... This was a great post to undue the Seatbelt warning! Thanks!

Ohh...i forgot to mention, i am refering to my 2006 Manual which is on page 29......since you have the 2007, maybe the manual pages are different......it should be under the following headings: - "Adjustable components" - "Linking drivihg poistion memory with door unlock operation" I hope this will help you find it. I have the 07 model but it doesnt have memory seating. Can I still program the memory seating with the key fobs?

I noticed the same thing, but not as extreme as you describe. I seem to have a problem because when I drive with one hand on the wheel the car reacts to the slightest movement. I like this when driving aggresive and hate it if I just want to cruise. Other than that it seems like the car drives perfect.

Thanks for the feedback! I guess I can live with the noise if it is a normal function of the car.

I had a time that I dropped the car off to a valet, and forgot and took the key with me. They drove it away, but had to get my key in order to bring it back...... I was hoping that the engine will shut down automatically after 10 minutes or so once it senses that the key is not in proximity of the car. I think this is a good idea. It should shutoff after 10 minutes or so. It's too easy to walk off with the key in your pocket.

That kills me to hear that. I pull up in this sweet car and it ticks. HMMMM. There has to be something they can do to make that noise go away.

I finally decided to take the plunge and buy a really nice car. I just brought home the black on black IS250. Wow, does this thing look great in my garage and my wife is already claiming it as hers. I have a question though.. When I pulled it into the garage a heard a tick noise almost like the lifters where making a noise. Is this normal for a new car? Should I take it in already to have them listen to it? I read some other posts on the 350 and it sounded like they had a problem with this similar noise. Anyone have anything to share with me? Also, does Lexus have a site where you can find recalls or known issues? Other than that little noise, this car handles fantastic. I had a lot of fun driving it home from the dealer. Today it is raining and I had to get it dirty :cries: .

I think I am about to do the same thing... I hate financing a car, such a waste of money!

Hey guys, I am in the process of purchasing my first Lexus. I usually go after any deal with 0.0% financing, but it doesn't look like I will be finding that at Lexus anytime soon. What have the majority of you done for financing? Do you just get whatever rate they give you? Do you shop for your own financing? I want to get the best deal possible and I think they have room to work on the APR at Lexus so I will definitely be working them down on their rates Let me know how you did it! Thanks
