Is the paint really that soft? My wife made the milk float comment, lol. I have been offered the Executive with a 7% discount, not as good as the 15% discount I got off the 1 Series ;)

If I am being honest my wife thinks Lexus is for older people and those who want a company car, which I think is rubbish. I went on to tell her how some BMW owners are portrayed.... We got into a massive argument, lol.

Hi everyone, I currently own a BMW M135i in Alpine White. The car is fantastic but looking for something a bit more economical and less attention seeking. A couple of weeks ago three guys tried to steal the car when my wife and 3 year old daughter were in the car! Had a 24 hour test drive in a IS30h Luxury in Mercury Grey with a few extras. I didn't know if I would like it but I loved it. Obviously it's a very different car and it did take me a while to get used to the automatic box and driving style. This is my small review on the IS300h Luxury; 1. the ride is very refined, smooth and quiet 2. the interior quality is fantastic, much better than the BMW 1 series 3. standard sound system is very good, makes the standard BMW system sound even worse 4. I didn't notice the CVT whine that critics talk about 5. seats are VERY comfortable 6. the paint quality is one of the best I have seen and I detail cars as a hobby I am debating on the IS300h Executive in Mesa Red but my wife is not that keen on the Lexus :(
