Yes, like I said, that is nothing new. It's been part of standard procedure for new cars for many years. You will find it in almost every Owners' Manual and in the recommendations from most auto manufacturers.

And miles alone don't necessarily mean anything. It depends, of course, on how often you use your brakes......cruising on an Interstate, for example for a thousand miles with a new set of brakes will obviously do you no good....you have to USE them to break them in, and the best way to do that, of course, is stop-and-go driving.

A nice review as always mmarshall for those interested in the IS

I went to the cons to see what you didn't like about.

Just from this post you racked up another 100+ posts....I know I know, you don't care less about the points

Thanks.
I figured, for the milestone review in a primarily Lexus forum, that I could at least do a Lexus product.

Every review I've ever done has pros and cons. In 40 years of driving, I haven't seen a perfect car yet.

Correct. I just like car talk.

Yes but that logic usually goes out the window when I'm in a demo car cause that's what the demo is for. Most of the demos here are not interstate miles so I'm sure 1,000km is fine. That said, most demos only reach around 600kms before they're sold.

mmarshall

I agree.....demos are sometimes a different ball game. I'd be leery of buying one, though, unless you got a really good deal....they are sometimes abused, especially when the salespeople don't go along.

yeah I tend to stay away from them too or at least get an extended warranty. I mean I don't abuse them like bouncing off the rev limiter or anything but who knows what other people would do.
