The uneven ride height (driver side vs. passenger side) really bugs the crap outta me!

The only thing I hate about the IS is that my yearly personal property taxes are over a grand. Why oh why does Virgina allow our county to tax me yearly on a car that I already paid taxes on when I purchased it.

LOL! C'mon Cayman, those road repairs aren't going to pay for themselves!

As far as the things that I hate, I'd have to go with:
  1. Weak paint
  2. Locked ECU
  3. Scarcity of performance mods
  4. Inability to easily disable VDIM (in '06 models)
In all fairness, the list of the things I love is much longer.

For those with the ECU gripe, have you been watching the MHP thread over in the IS-F section? There just may be hope. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...u-upgrade.html

1. weak paint
2. trunk release - should pop open the trunk completely like a Mercedes
3. A/C switch - should be a button on dash, not just on touch screen

No IS250/IS350/IS-F in Middle East, aftermarket intakes doesn't fit on the IS300.

Yeah he will have to price them right or he will get ZERO interest. I for one would never ever pay for a tune (intangible asset) that costs more than $700.

You know that when you hit the "Auto button" that the A/C switches on automatically to the requested temp, right?
