I'm curious, why would this be an issue?

Afterall it's a rear wheel drive car and nearly all of them have a transmission tunnel that intrudes the full length of the interior. 

Not an issue as such. It just seems to be a lot taller/higher than what were in my previous cars that's all.

This could be a blonde moment/question time. The sliding dial across the dash screen, is this on the F Sport only or across the range?

Another alternative is to go and pop into a local independent car audio centre who would be able to fit an aftermarket camera to the existing set. Depends where in Essex you are there is Car Audio Centre in Ilford, or my personal go to shop is Dynamic Sounds in in SW18.

I went and had a look at a couple over the weekend. Didn't expect the transmission tunnel to be so high in the rear😨, how to get his past the mrs??!!

On the bright side the kids absolutely loved the interior and all the gadgets. (F-sport)

Hello,

I have looked through the audio section within the forum and cannot see any direct answers and there isn't a dedicated I.C.E. section on here.

Judging by the spec sheets it doesn't seem that Android Auto or Mirror Link is available on the IS300.

Has anyone fitted an aftermarket head unit to compensate? If so do all the additional buttons, etc still work with the unit?

Thanks

Spec wise, there isnt much in it really as the F Sport has bigger alloys and stiffer suspension along with the exterior and interior treatment. 

Essentially I chose the F Sport as I prefer the seats, the looks and the alloys. Both trims handle well but the F Sport is better. Personally I don't find the ride stiff at all, certainly nowhere near German hard. It does get caught out with potholes though and will thump if you land in one. 

As for advise, generally just  normal used car advice. These things don't have any common issues. Main things would be leather wear on Luxury models, check servicing as they should be 1 year/10k miles or 1 year/12k miles. Apart from that, nothing stands out.

Thank you for the feedback. Can I ask what sort of real life MPG you are getting from the car.

Hi Guys,

As the title says, I'm Looking into purchasing an IS300H from 2015 onward and would like some advise as in what to look out for /general tips when purchasing a used Lexus.

In terms of specs, I am better of going for the Luxury or the F Sport?

Hope this doesn't sound too vague.

Thanks
