Silky smoothness. Of the tranny, suspension, and interior comforts.

It's the "feel" of a Lexus...

[QUOTE=PMok;

I would say the one thing that really stands out for me in this car is how remarkably quiet it is inside the cabin.

REALLY!!! HOW ABOUT ALL THE RATTLES AND CRAKING NOISES INSIDE THE CABIN?

People keep complaining about that. Personally, I don't hear anything in my IS350. I did try hard to hear the sound, but have not been sucessful in hearing the rattle.

What are people talking about? All I noticed is the crack/stretch noise (click!) from the dashboard when the interior temp. shift, usually from hot to cold. That's all! Is the rattle common in the 2IS?

No rattles in my cabin... I get a little creaking from my seat but I think there is a TSB for it, will probably get it fixed next time I take it in for service. But in terms of NVH I think this car is far better than anything else I've driven.

Ventilated seats is my vote. Most Lux brands only have that feature on their Flagship car or not at all(see acura) so getting the ventilated seats with heated seats is a big deal here in Vegas. People down here love that option. It was one of the selling points to the car for me. The 335i didn't have that or the backup camera I think. Plus, the Nav on BMW's has the lame control button that I absolutely hate. The touch screen rules.

Hell, I like Lexus so much I just traded my wife's TL in for a RX350. Screw Acura and their crappy service dept here in Las Vegas. They are clowns down here I think.

Doesn't the government define it as price? i.e. Luxury tax.
