I do have nits to pick about a dashboard rattle and brake dust, but both should get fixed after a trip to the dealer next week
I also find the IS gets scratches and small bumps more than any other car I've driven. The "IS Curse." Sigh. Also, the cupholders are a bit of a pain in the ****; there aren't very many places to put your stuff in the center console. Looks good, but not very practical.
Also, my sunglasses don't fit in the sunglass holder. Roar.

It is included on the Lux package I believe, as my car does that.

1. Brake dust
2. No sun visor extension
3. Cheesy material on the inside where the window sits. I don't know what this area is called but even after I've put lotion on my skin, this area always get these white marks that are annoying (I have black interior so it shows up easily).
4. Easily chipped paint (especially in the front bumper/hood area)
Side note, the sport pkg also comes with the telescopic steering wheel so you can get it in either the LUX or Sport pkgs.

Hmm I find the interior to be top notch, some cars use big pieces of plastic which is cheap, the mix of that rubber and leather is pretty nice in my opinon, but it does stain easily so I understand where you come from.

I love the car; the paddle shifters suck, too much break dust, memory seats should be standard with power seats, seat heater does not get hot enough and all mirrors should be electromagnetic. Oh and what's up with the center arm rest, the way it folds back and you cant get to the aux jacks easily.

The plastic in the interior stains and scratches so easily. It's annoying as hell. Seems like I'm not the only one with that problem. The exterior paint does scratch quite easily as well what's up with that?

In the first 5k miles, I didn't have a single pit, chip, or divot in my windshield. In the last 17k, I've managed to completely pepper the windshield with tiny divots, and even had a serious chip that had to be repaired last week (thankfully the repair is almost invisible - the crack was the size of a quarter!) The entire front of the car has been peppered with stone strikes, and all from driving between the Bay Area and Sacramento. I even have a divot in the Lexus emblem on the front grill from a very hard rock strike.
I don't follow trucks. I never drive off road. I spend the vast majority of my time on Interstate highways (I-5, I-580, I-680, & I-880). And yet, the car looks like a combat veteran. It's incredibly disappointing. My Supra with 141k miles does not look anywhere near as bad.

Anyways on the IS, I wish the Nav didn't have any restrictions.
