Hello people, I'm new to the Lexus brand coming from Mazda. I just purchased a 2015 Is 350 F sport, and I love it! Hope it's as reliable and fun as my Speed 6 was.

Brand new is200t owner
whats up everyone! so im new the Lexus scene and i couldnt be happier!
I was life long VW lover and owner and im happy i made the switch
heres my car
- IS200T - F SPORT and its NEBULA GREY with RED interior
so i have some questions since i some questions since i literally know nothing about Lexus. mainly tuner questions since i knew about 5 different really good VW sites for modding the cars
1) is there a major website modding? cosmetic and performance
2) is there any cool tricks to do to my stock car? like getting rid of all those annoying *** warnings that pop up on the dash when starting the car or turning to PANDORA and it says that there may be a data charge or whatever that is
3) does anyone else use the ENFORM REMOTE app? when i start my car from my phone, it turns off when i go to get in my car. thats stupid and pointless, then i get inside and have to start it again. is there a way to turn that off
but i would like to say how damn happy i am with this car, i love it so much. glad to join this forum and idk if i asked too many questions but any help will great. THANK YOU!

Hello All,
I just got home with my new 2015 Lexus IS 350 F-Sport - RWD with 8-speed automatic in Matador Red Mica
Options:
Blind Spot Monitor
F-Sport Package
Variable Gear Ratio Steering
Navagation
Accessory Package
I live in Ohio but bought the car from a Lexus dealer in Dallas TX. Got an excellent year end deal since it was a left over 2015. I flew down to Dallas on Friday to pick it up. Drove it home on Friday / Saturday.
Some observations:
1.) Very confortable car to drive - especially on a long drive. Great seats.
2.) The Nav/Audio locked up a few times on the trip and I had to reboot it. I'm wondering if maybe it needs a firmware / software update? Also, I hate those first few screens that come up when you start the car. Need a way to get rid of those and speed up the start up of the nav/audio system.
3.) I was very suprised that the USB connection for playing music doesn't support any lossless codecs.
4.) Not sure why memory for the seats isn't an option with the F-Sport package. An almost 50k car should have memory seats standard.

I bought the obsidian/rojia 2016 IS300 F Sport from Peterson Lexus in Boise, Idaho (Northwest USA). I've been wading through cars for years to find the right fit. The trail of cars that I considered goes like: '53 Chevy truck, 911, G37 S, MGB, Z06, 300Z, A5, M4, M6, and many more... I went to Lexus after researching the M6. Someone posted, "If you can't handle the maintenance, go get a Lexus". The "maintenance" that they were referring to was replacing bottom crank bearings every 5K miles! After 600mi in the IS I realized that I don't need a sub 5 sec 0-60 car or one that can go 70mph around a 25mph corner. Each owner has to find their perfect match and for me it's the IS. I'm drooling over the pics of suspension drops and engine boosts, but I'll let those remain a fantasy. I'm more than delighted with how this one rolled out of the factory.

Now the problem is that there are too many slow drivers!

Hey! To make this short, I leased a 2015 Lexus IS 250 last December 2014 for my wife, she loves the car, just recently she wanted something bigger for the baby so I had to get her an SUV. I had to trade in my beloved RX-8 and I'm now the one with the Lexus. I do miss the RX-8 and how it handled but I'm actually loving the IS even more. The car feels like it owns the road, and yes, sport mode is fun.
I'll be lurking around and posting from now on..

Hey guys I just bought my 2016 Lexus IS 350 F Sport last week on MLK Day. I got her in that beautiful ultrasonic blue mica 2.0! Traded my FRS in for the car, I'm going to miss driving stick but this car is really fun to drive and has way more room and way more practical. I work at a shop that specializes in paint protection/paint coatings in Rockville, MD so I am in the process of putting on Xpel and ceramic pro on the car. Our shop also does vinyl wrapping and tinting so I would be wrapping the roof, mirrors, trim and tinting the window as well. Here are some pics!

Hi All,
Glad to be part of Club Lexus. I am a first-time owner of a Lexus. The day I bought this car, the temperature was -6 degrees F.
Here's a picture of my 2016 IS350 AWD F-Sport.
