After much lingering and research, I am finally the proud owner of a new '08 IS250. I am coming from an '03 Audi A4, which was totaled in January. After much haggling with the insurance company, I finally got settled up and made the purchase last week. I only have 275 miles, but so far, I love this car! I looked all over for Glacier Frost Mica and only a few dealers here in SoCal had any. Got the color I wanted and a great lease at Lexus of Westminster. I even got Lexus USA to honor my Taste of Lexus coupon that expired last December. Not bad I must say!
What mostly attracted me to the IS was it's agressive styling and amount of features for the price. I love the keyless ignition, wood trim, 18" rims, and LED lighting everywhere. I looked at everything, including a new A4, and concluded this would be the one. I hope to get many good miles out of it and glad I found a forum to post things on.
Speaking of that, I do have some questions. One, is there a way to lower the rear seat headrests? One seems higher than the other and I don't see or feel any buttons to press. Two, there is an elastic band below the back seats at the carpet. Is this something to be cut off and removed? Looks like shipping material. Yes, I have the cracking sound from the center dash, but so far it hasn't gotten on my nerves yet. Lastly, I notice my review mirror vibrates a lot when the interior warms up or I drive with the sunroof open. I think the mounting might be defective, so I'll be bringing it to my dealer for that. Everything else is great and it's hard to think I am actually driving a Lexus! =)
Thanks for the info!
