Cool New Here

My GF picked up an '07 IS350, Starfire Pearl, and Premium Package.

At first glance this car is very sexy. When I first got inside I was very impressed by the build quality of the interior. Everything seems to just feel right and stiff.

When I got behind the wheel, I was amazed. Steering feels good, ride is so smooth, and I was wow'd by the response/power when I got on the gas.


The only negative is there is a rubbing sound coming from the front end while driving. Brakes seem good, so not sure if that is it. Still under factory/extended warranty so we'll have it checked out.

EDIT: Actually the color is Glacier Frost Mica

As long as she is happy, that is all that matters. And I doubt it could have as many rattles as my G6. That thing is a rattle trap.
