Got my new IS200SE last week, I also didn't like the virtually silent central locking at first. Spent first few days peering in the window to double check red light was on! But now I've relaxed and i just listen for the two clicks as I set the double lock!
Can I throw in a question? Is there not an initial 1500 mile service? Or does it not need to go back to the dealer until 10,000 miles?
By the way, initial impressions :-
Love it to death !!
Got Scarlatti Red - looks great
Handles great. Audio system sounds great!
Only niggles....
6 Speed Box takes a bit of getting used to.
Plus it's easy in first few days to end up in reverse.When at junctions etc thank *** for the bleep! But after a few days, I've worked it all out and it hasn't happened since!
Seats are a bit solid for someone who's come
from a standard saloon. Did a 550 mile trip at the weekend and was getting back ache the day after. But again, I've found the best position now !
I've been easing it in as per handbook. But I'm about to let loose this week as i'll hit the 1000 mile mark. Looking forward to that.
General view, really glad I got it. Was thinking of a Volvo S60, saw one yesterday doesn't look half as good as the Lexus!
