  1. Well, I'm glad to hear that some of you have had no issue. Unfortunaltely for me it's too late. After 6 months and having driven 6 cars all with the same issues, Lexus gave me my money back. So more more IS300 for me. Anyway, I will say that Lexus customer support were very fair with me, so when they get these issues resolved I may buy another one, since they are actually great cars. So happy driving.
  2. I assume by the lack of reponse to my post that either there are very few IS300's out there or that no one has any issues! If there are any IS300's out there with problems I would like to know. On another note, I've only had this particular IS300 for 5 weeks and I noticed at the weekend that my exhaust is corroding!! Looks like I've joined that club now as well :(
  3. In addition, AutoCar Magazine are also running a long term roadtest on the IS300 Sportscross. The guy running the roadtest has also found Starting problems! Anyone else out there?
  4. I was previously a very, very, very happy IS200 owner. However due to the lack of grunt in the 200 (as you are probably aware of) I decided to upgrade to the 300 back in October 2001. The 300 is superb, the extra power and the auto box are GR8. However one small problem! Since buying the car, every time I try to start the car from cold it doesn't turn over 1st time. In fact I am now on my 2nd 300 which happens to have the same problem. The 1st car was so bad that there were days when it wouldn't start. Lexus replaced the car (after LOADS of complaining) but the new car has the same issue! I discovered High Octane fuel 'hid' the problem for a few weeks but it now happening again. So any other IS300 owners out there with the same issue?
  5. I must be one of those few people who have an IS300! Previous owner of a 200 but upgraded because I wanted the extra power! Believe me it makes a big difference!! Being one of those people who travel up and down the M4 the auto box is great. The E-shift is GR8 fun as well. I was alwaya a die hard manual box person my self but I'm now converted!
