1. I want the opposite, I like how understated they are. Quiet quality over street cred any day. 2. I’m fine with the ECVT. Read bad things on the reviews but didn’t see the issue myself 3. That’s okay. 4. Yeah that worries me the most, I’m just hoping I can live with it or add the CarPlay option by installing a vLine box. 5. Not bothered. I don’t see the IS as an old persons car at all. My only other concern is I’ve read that the drivers seat bolster gets badly worn quite quickly which isn’t good. For such an expensive car that will annoy me.
