My gripe is that the 250s don't come with dictionaries for the owners while the 350s do.

The thing that bothers me the most about the 2IS is the green backlights in the center console.

I was mocking his use of the wrong 'break' instead of 'brake'. I guess a thesaurus would help more than a dictionary.

I'm quite sure no Lexus comes with a dictionary.

I wish the rear blinkers were yellow LEDs with clear lenses. I don't know why we have LED tail/brake lights, but old-school bulbs for blinkers... My BMW came stock with LEDs for everything in the back - and they're BLINDING... hehehe

i again say the lack of an extension on the sun visor. it's brutal here in fl! also think there could have been better controls for the radio/cd player.

1. the paddle shifters are a freaking joke (like I don't even know why they put them on if they are not going to shift for 3 seconds after you push them)
2. brake dust
3. stock sub blows

definitly the lack of extension on the sunvisor and only one cup holder. In addition, i don't like the fact that you cannot enter info in the the navi system when the car is moving.

I agree with 1 and 2... I also don't like how the rear seats don't fold down. Oh and my friends don't like the small leg room in the back seat... but for me thats a good thing cause it makes my friends ride in someone else's car...

Oh and i don't like how the IS-F is coming out after i just bought the 350...

First let me preface this post by saying that so far we really like the car so this is nitpicking. But here are a few little things that have caught my attention (note that we only have 900 miles on the car right now). The seat heater is not hot enough, even on "3", the highest setting. I don't like the way the AWD hardware intrudes on the drivers footwell so much. I REALLY dont like the fact that you can't use certain functions of the NAV system while you're driving. I REALLY dont like the fact that the Bluetooth capability makes it necessary to enter each phone number, one at a time, rather than uploading the entire phonebook at once. The auto down feature on the front passenger window is very touchy. Hard to crack the window for some fresh air w/out it wanting to go all the way down so you end up going up/down, up/down a few times before you can get it to the right spot. I wish the tilt wheel would go up automatically when you turn off the ignition. My old '91 LS400 did this. Maybe it's included in an option package that we didn't get.
