I just have a question as to how good the picture quality is on the nav screen when watching dvd's? anyone have any pictures they can put up? and also for the ML system would movies in dobly 5.1 be upscaled to 7.1? thanks.

Isn't it illegal to watch DVDs on the Nav screen, since it's directly in front of the driver? Or is that only a California thing?

its illegal to watch only when the car is in motion.

the ML system allows for DVD watching when the parking brake is engaged and the gear set to P.

so still no one knows about picture quality or the sound questions??

Hi from Australia, we drive cars and have electricity down here too :)

At times when waiting to pick someone up i throw in a DVD, the quality is good remember its not really that big but the sound is bigger, i have tried saving private ryan, the first sceen when the troops enter the water it sounded awesome, just like the home theater at home, the bullets were zooming passed my head as if i was there in battle. Heat and top gun is a must as well. Sorry no pics right now, will try to do some.

"Fake it till you make it"

I am also a young Lex Driver 24 when bought, 25 now... ahh 1/4 century.

Anyway, I agree with a few remarks, don't tolerate people who look at you bad for buying a nice car young. My fiance and I bought her Mazda 6 from a dealership 70 miles away from our house because the one in our city didn't treat us with the respect we thought we should get. No one approached us the first time we were there (about 20 min), then the second time I had called before hand and set up an appointment it still took at least 20 min for someone to even approach us let alone take us serious when we arrived for our "appointment".

We believe that is important to be taken serious and why would you want to give a business money when they don't want anything to do with you in the first place.

I can definitely understand this and I don't agree with it at all. I'm sure if I hadn't pulled up to my Lexus dealership in the car I was in they wouldn't have bothered to help me until they had some free time to see what I wanted.

Dynojet measures about 260 WHP for the IS350.

would this mean the 250 gets around 160whp?

I just got my new 2007 IS250 6spd. blk/blk 18's

I like everything about it, but I can't get the hang of the clutch.

I used to drive a 03 Hyundai tiburon GT 6spd and they are totally different.

well I guess I will get used to it.

anyways, hey guysI got a new car! lol

you'll get used to it soon enough

Sorry for the vague post ... based on my research ... most RWD IS 250s that have NAVI also come with the Premium Package (you have to pay for that package, however) ... but it's how the car is built ... however, I was wondering if anyone had the Mark Levinson stereo, or the Luxury plus package and would recommend it ... because then, I would have to special order the car ...

Thanks,

Alex

I have the ML premium audio package with the navi and i think its worth the extra money, I didn't really need the rest of the features so it was the best package for me. I special ordered my car, better to get the car the way you want it.

Allo Allo,

For all those that took the upgrade and got the ML Sat Nav pack, can I get a show of hands if you are happy with the quality of the sound system?

I am finding the sound lacking in depth and the treble is also lacking even when you have it on full settings.

What does everyone think?

:P

After messing around with it a bit I've come to love it, I'm definitely happy with the ml/navi package.

Where can I find specs or info on the standard sound system in the 2007 IS 250? That is, speaker sizes, power output, watts rms, etc. Thanks

I tried looking on google, but honestly I'd go to a Lexus dealership and mess around with one yourself.

Working at a bodyshop i get to drive many different cars. I must say that the ML system is by far the greatest out of them all (Bose, Infiniti, etc...) I personally think that the non ML stereo system w/navi is totally adequate for my ears.

After getting the auto HID's, i dont think i can now ever own a car that does not at least have HID's or heated/ventilated seats.

If I had the extra money I would've gotten the HID lamps and the heated/cooled seats but as my first car I felt that I should take it easy and not go all out.

pick your car model and year and itll list all the phones, and phone companies that are compatible with a list of features it works with depending on the car.

All,

I'm looking to order an '07 IS 250 RWD ... with the premium package and the NAVI ... just wondering, is there ANY package that folks have on their 250/350 that they could NOT live without?? Anything they highly recommend someone get, if money was not an option?

Thanks,

Alex

NAVI

I bought the 07 RWD 250 and I'd have to say the navigation system was the thing i couldn't live without, also being an audiophile the mark levinson system was a must have for me. all of the other features such as the heated and cooled seats and hid headlamps are cool but i myself don't need them.

Hi Everyone,

I am a first time new car owner and guess what, I went ahead and bought the 2007 IS 250 AWD with Nav and all that jazz. I am still waiting for delivery of the vehicle but while I wait, I am having buyer's remorse. Maybe it is too soon for me to be driving a high end car like that? I graduated from college in 2005 and I am getting nervous about owning a Lexus. I guess part of my uneasiness comes from the fact that when I went to the dealership, the sales rep did not believe me that I was actually going to buy the car. She kept making references to my age. I am 23 and will be paying for the car myself. I guess the sales rep could tell that I was a little nervous about the transaction so she started selling me all these protection plans that I can't really decide if I'll need. Can anyone recommend what plans are necessary and which ones can be avoided?

Any help will be truly appreciated.

Best,

AC.

I wouldn't say your too young to be driving a lexus, I'm 18 and bought my first car which is a 2007 Lexus IS 250 RWD Manual with the navigation/mark levinson premium audio package. no parents involved. buyers remorse? you just bought a very nice car enjoy it man.
