Thanks for the all the messages. I'll keep an eye on the coolant but as it drives perfectly fine, i'll stop worrying about it.

That's good to hear. Puts me at ease. It was the only issue I had with this fine car.

Thanks Ian. I hope to get some pictures as soon as I get a chance to give it a good clean and wax. Shah

Hello I am new to owning a Lexus and have a question which hopefully members on here can advise on. I have a is250 2008 and get a considerable amount of steam from the exhaust whilst at the lights or in traffic. As soon as I accelerate, it goes away. I'm certain it isn't smoke and it smells of steam. I also get the same humid/steam smell from the car heater in the cabin. Normally I would expect the steam on a cold morning but I get this even after a long drive on the motorway.Even when it is relatively mild. The car isn't losing coolant or at least it isn't losing a measurable amount. Just to add: The car drives perfectly with no noticeable issues with acceleration and I have a tendency to drive very light footed and thus achieve around 32 MPG with mixed driving. Any advice??

Hello Just wanted to introduce myself. Only recently purchased a 2008 is250 SR and this is my first Lexus. Thoroughly enjoying the car but do have a tendency to 'tinker' so will hopefully get lots of useful information on this forum. Shah
