Mine seems pretty stripped. No GPS, radar cruise, rain sensing wipers, but hell I only drive it to work (so I know where im going) and I live in AZ! so it harldy ever rains here. One nice thing the car did come with are the G spider wheels. I am more and more impressed w/ this car every time I drive it. I like it more than my dads sc430!

The buzzing from the steering wheel sounds like the tilt/telescoping wheel moving up and away when you turn off the engine, and coming down and forward to you when you start up.

Have you tried moving the steering wheel with the adjuster on the left of the column?

I have the "manual" steering wheel. <_<

Greetings all. I am new to this site and have purchased my fist Lexus (IS 350). I just want to verify that the two noises I am hearing are normal. when I start and turn off the car I get a buzzing noise coming from the steering wheel, sort of like an electric motor. I only lasts for a second or two then goes away. Second the engine is quite noisy (for a lexus)IMO. Sounds like my old race cars full roller valve train. Are these noises to be expected? The car has 29k on it and was recently serviced at the dealer so I wont need to take it in until 34k, but im so used to dealerships telling me "thats normal" I figured I would ask someone who would be honest w/ me. Thanks
