i pretty much agree with Knightshade

1 the dust is not that bad but it is noticeable.

2 no rattles in my car. only silence or stereo.

3 the leg room is a little tight for large adults. at worst i have to move the fronts forward a little. i'm a big guy, i would try to avoid riding in the back for a long drive. kids should be fine.

4 i haven't calculated the mpg, but it's a hell of a lot better than the pos 240sx i had. now i don't find myself at all upset, standing at the pump. also mileage goes up dramatically when i don't use the ac.

i'm extremely happy with my 250. hope this helps

Davex,

i also plan to hold on to my car for 10+ years. my dealer offered a buyback on the extended warranty. at the end of 7 years if nothing breaks, i get its cost back. i figure if anything does break after the covered 4 years, it will at least cost the price of the warranty. also, you may want to choose to act quickly. the contract may be prorated for milage.

i hope this info is relevant to you. i purchased my IS from a Hawaii Lexus dealer.

good luck on your choice.

thanks OLD TIMER.

the info you posted was great! i use the voice command only for making calls. that guidance voice is really annoying.

thanks again,
