i wish that there was apadded place for coins, or some sort of slot device to hold a few quarters.
i now i can place them in the ashtray or cup holder, but then they will rattle and make noise

 

I motion for that request too!!

 

i bought a small box for them and place it in the center console

 

Yes, I agree. On the other hand, what I did, and I think it turned out well, was that I bought a coin purse and placed it in the center console. I got used to it pretty quickly too.

 

ashtray all the way.. i think it was because i used to drive a teg and the exhaust alone muted the sound of coins flickering

 

I put them in the glovebox because the rattling bothered me.

 

is it just me, or the 2IS rattles much easier than other cars?

 

Balllaaaa's don't use coins. Hahahahahhaha!

 

i keep mine in the ash tray but i haven't heard it rattle or jingle ever...

 

You know, for a company that's supposed to pursue perfection, Lexus really blew it on this one. Most American cars have coin holders -- my Lincoln has one, and its great for toll roads, or even going through the drive-thru and you need a few coins for a taco and a drink. Isn't there some Japanese accessory that can replace the ashtray?

 

Its just you.

 

Here's the link if anyone is interested to the box that replaces the Ashtray:

ditto.
my '01 TL had a padded coin holder where the ashtray would have been. in fact you could order an insert if you wanted an ashtray!

my wife is amazed that lexus even has an ashtray and lighter. acura has the power outlet.

i'm thinking of buying some sticky backed felt at home depot, and lining the ashtray.

 

Most people driving a LExus will have a Toll Tag... thus, don't use coins at the toll.

 

Whats that supposted to mean? I've driven regularily (as in 20x per year maybe) over a toll bridge for 4 years and never bothered to get one...
