  1. Sure, if used properly it promotes safety. I do have to wonder though how many people have been hit by cross-traffic when looking at their monitor in lieu of left, right and over their shoulder as we all learned in drivers ed. John
  2. I've noticed with my 2008/IS350 that if I keep a tight grip on the sterring wheel in windy conditions it may "feel" like I'm fighting it. Correcting, over-correcting, correcting, etc. I've found a light grip and not worrying too much about the wind seems to work better. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone else. Of course that doesn't mean that will help the OP who may have a legetimate mechanical problem. JohnCh
  3. Mine (2008/IS350) seems to be a little fuzzy in low light conditions and much better in good light. My guess is that is normal and I don't worry about it. Also, and let's face, the unnecessary backup camera on this small car is mainly for bling, and benefits Lexus's marketing department most. But I like bling! JohnCh
  4. Jeez. I get nervous just driving by Jiffy Lube in my IS350! I figure I paid a premium price for a car (compared to the Pontiacs I used to drive) so I'll follow through and pay a premium price for service at the Lexus dealership. Not a bad place to hang out while waiting for an oil change. The car has been so trouble free I don't get to go there much though. John
  5. Hi, My wife bought me a 2008 Lexus IS 350 last week for my 50th birthday. I could have rejected it but decided, what the heck, and traded in my 2004 Pontiac GTO to help finance the deal. I couldn't be happier with her research and deciding on this car. Much more refined and comfortable than the GTO and nearly as quick. I will miss the sound and V8 power of the GTO but I won't miss the mediocre quality of the Pontiac dealers service department and never plan to look back. Good luck GM; you'll need it. JohnCh
