so finally 2 months left on the 36 month lease for a 2008 IS350 i got for the wife .

This will be the first and last lexus. I absolutely hate this car and here's why.

1.Rear view mirror fell off this summer while parked
2.Rain sensing wipers go off completely random (not a drop of rain)
3.Seats adjusters can only perform 1 function at a time when used manually. ( pull seat back and lean has to be 2 separate functions unless using memory - no memory on passenger seat so problem.
4.Vents blow out air of the last temp, even if its turned off. for example if i had the temp @ 60 last, ac/fan is off it'll still blow cold air. same w/ the heat. annoying during cold summer nights followed by hot mornings. (wishing for bmw's cold/hot knob here)
5.Side view mirrors are like dumbo ears ( yes they fixed it in later years)
6.Car down shifts really abruptly when slowing down on a hill.
7.Brakes lasted about 25k - common not even real high performance
8.More brake dust than my m3 - yes they also changed this eventually
9. Not enough info in the center info - again spoiled by bmw
10. bluetooth sound quality sucks - tried several phones
11. Plastic engine cover never seems to close shut and always rattles against the hood when car is starting.
12. Rubber matt recall was a joke - i had the deep groove rubber matts and they simply replaced it w/ cheap flat rubber for the fronts only. now i have non matching front/rear rubber matts.
13. oh and airbag light just went off this morning...

at the end none are really deal breakers for most but a bunch of annoying things.

My other daily drivers are a RSX-S , E38 740il Sport, E92 m3.

Wifey is waiting for the X3 w/ the M sports package.
