I’ve had mine over two years now and I’m still very happy with it. I was going to wait for the diesel to be introduced when I was considering getting an IS250 in November 2005 but there wasn’t going to be an auto so I decided against it. How glad I am after having a diesel courtesy car once, it’s just not the same vehicle. I eventually left it in the drive and drove my second vehicle instead it was so awful.
So yes, I am being positive about mine still, its great, and I’m also one of the lucky ones never to have any rattles either.
