I LOVE MY LEXUS!!!.........But.....(thread)
Ok,
I love this car, really! However, I started to notice things that's buging the hell out of me.....Like
1. The rear view mirror bouncng around while playing music....hell I can only take so much bass out of the sound ya know. (is there a fix for that?)
2. Brake dust! You figure they would at leat put a good pair of bake pads on a Lexus named car!
3. Side mirrors seem kinda big...(could be just me)
Anyone else have little thingy's that they noticed?

I know this will sound girly, but, I have cashmere interior and I think the silver door handles are god awful with this interior. Couldn't they have made them black or wood grain to match lux pkg.

But when I drove the Lexus ES, RX, and IS as well as my wife's Toyota 4Runner, the rear view mirrors all sort of 'creaked' a bit when I moved them around and seemed to be susceptible to shaking a bit from bass.
It's just odd if they could make a nice quality mirror for a 50k dollar car in 1999, you'd figure they could 'trickle down' that ability over the next 8 years to slightly less expensive vehicles. I mean, the IS is only one class below the GS, as is the ES.

But wood? Wow, that would be super gaudy. I already hate wood grain interiors, but wooden door handles (because you know Lexus would have to make them out of real wood veneer to match the rest of the interior) would not only look strange and tacky IMO, but I have to question how durable they'd be over time.

Which stereo system do you have the standard 194-watt 13 speaker, or the ML (300-watt I think....) 14 speaker. If the 14, is the woofer the same as in the standard........anybody??

drive around the interstate at 60,70 w/ no music and it will still shake a good bit

I'm less than thrilled about the same three items...unfortunately the barn-door-sized mirrors are pretty much necessary due to the relatively poor rear visibility that inevitably comes from cars with high beltlines/small windows in the back. The vibrating mirror is also something I'll be complaining about until a fix is devised.
I can't believe I haven't seen ONE complaint yet since I joined CL about the CHEAP *** CLOCK. It's right out of a freakin Tercel for crying out loud.

Well I'm coming from a 4Runner so the mirrors seem tiny and hard to use to me. Yea the mirror vibrates from the road but it doesn't bother me too much. I may take a bushing and cram it up there but it's lo po.
What bugs me is the VSC and Trac. I HATE it! I'm ready to start gutting sensors. I can kill everything including the ABS by yanking the brake sensor; but actually the ABS is pretty good on this car so I may kill the steering angle or the yaw sensor instead.
HAAA vent over and I feel better. It's an awesome car though.

Cashmere interior: I love it. I think Lexus has gotten the tone right. No comparison to the BMW one which looks ultra cheap.
Brake dust: goes with having better brakes
Mirror: I can live with it. It is a result of the powerful stereo.

It's only a minor complaint but i agree that the cheap looking clock is out of place in such a luxurious car as the IS. Plus, when the sun hits it, you can't see anything at all unless you shield the clock. How retarded.
My other serious complaint is how little leg room there is in the back for my passengers. I don't have super long legs or anything but in order for me to sit comfortably to drive, the passenger in back of me would either have no legs or very short/small ones as there're no leg room left.
