GARY DOWNUNDER

HERE IS A VIDEO OF NAV OVERRIDE SO YOU CAN USE SAT NAV AS YOUR DRIVING I HAVE USED IT A LOT GREAT FOR ENTERING IN SEVERAL STREETS AT A TIME ON THE MOVE LIKE ON A ROAD TRIP IF YOU WANT TO GO TO SEVERAL PLACES ALONG A GIVEN ROUTE USED IT ON OUR LEXUS CRUISE LATELY AND WORKS PERFICTLY RESETS AFTER YOU TURN OFF ENGINE.

I love that tanabe exhaust tango i am in the middle of ordering one myself but its not easy in australia just how many of you guys have the tanabe exhaust. One more thing also ****ty that lexus does not give us the IS350 and to europe. I would have bought one straight off instead of the IS250 if both available at the same time. cheers from AUSTRALIA

Nope. My 2005 delivered IS250 SE-L is still rattle free..and no I'm not deaf. Also still prefer driving along at 'sorry officer' motorway speeds without the ML system intruding on the silence Mine is 1year old now, no rattles and it's a sport just a little noise from drivers grab handle just move it a bit and noise is gone. Still love this car IS350 would be pefect car in power. Our roads in brisbane australia are terrible rough, pot holes until you drive on the highways.

Droped into lexus today and see the 2007 IS250 on the showroom floor, what australias 2007 changes are. NO SHARK FIN BOOT AND FUEL SWITCHES ARE HORIZONTAL AND ILLUMINATED VSC CUT OFF SWITCH SAME AS US. :D :D :D FEW DIFFERENT COLOURS I guess yours will be the same specs as australia

Funny about wifes and cars this is our 3rd lexus, had IS200, IS300 and IS250 (REALLY WANT IS350) she says why you are updating all the time theres nothing wrong with the car but when i get the new car home,which she hasn't driven, and drives around the block its all to had she says i like the IS300 now after a few months you can't get her out of the car so i can drive it. She complains at first because i spend too much money on cars and i say ill buy you a little mini or old car oh no no no love my lexus point taken stop complaining.

LEXUS WINS COMPARISON TEST AUSTRALIAN WHEELS MAG, This time on normal everyday roads. :D :D :D http://www.sharebig.com/d/skjumgmhk/0BIIrq...20P1%5B1%5D.doc http://www.sharebig.com/d/swvuxrdcz/0WmS6Z...20P2%5B1%5D.doc http://www.sharebig.com/d/srttmwrwv/0fhMAo...20P3%5B1%5D.doc http://www.sharebig.com/d/suqqntpqn/09hmPI...20P4%5B1%5D.doc

Your spot on akkilles with mine which is auto and 9l to 9.5l mixed roads mainly city but highway driving is 6.4l - 100km to 7l - 100km (44mpg to 40mpg) is exellent compared to my IS300:D :D :D SHELL OPTIMAX 7.98L is 35.3mpg just thought you won't to know.

I'm getting very good results 29mpg city urban and trips down and up the coasts getting 42mpg according to my trip computer

Have covered 4500klm in my sport with 18''wheels now and 3 months on no rattles at all and no unschedule visit to lexus but i do get a creak from the dash on cold mornings but its goes as the day heats up i was told the the dash gaps are very tight and expands and contracts in weather but very happy. My IS300 had rattles and they replaced the sunroof and steering wheel the amount of electronics in the dash of 250 is overwhelming. arwsome ML sound system :D :D :D

In queensland Australia you still have to wait about 3 months for new IS if its a different colour or sat/nav option dealers are only getting base model or luxury with basic colour.

[Just curious in australia the base model comes with leather and the sport has we call Alcantara seats and full leather for luxury model no options at all for seat material Wierd i perfer leather on my sport but no can do. You pay $80,000 and no option on sport.

I have 250 sport 18''wheels personally i don't think its twitchy our roads in the suburbs of brisbane city australia have very rough and patchy but the car is a little bumpy but when the roads are smooth its justs hangs on like its on rails no fear of running off the road. Tire noise is not bad about the same as my is300 was but the 250 handles way better than the 300. Funny thing i can thow the 250 into a corner a lot more than the 300 and not have the VSC come on where the 300 did, same corner.

I had a IS300 for 2years before i bought the IS250 sports one magazine quoted the IS250 is quicker than the IS300 because the 250 is so quite and smooth you don't realise the speed your doing its a true lexus and way above my old IS300 in every way and getting 6.8 l/100kl highway and 10.1 city. :D :D

IS 250 SPORT AUTO HIGHWAY 6.8 L/100 KM= 41MPG CITY 10.1L/100KM= 28MPG HUGE IMPROVEMENT OVER MY IS300
