Right! It’s the best way to get it broken in. The different speed variations will get the components well seated. I couldn’t imagine the torture of tooling around town for 621 moderate miles. 😈😜

Thanks everyone! This is my first Lexus (actually first Toyota product unless you count my 2017 Series.Yellow BRZ).
I had not test driven one, but I had checked one out at a local dealership. I did test drive this car before actually signing the dotted line though.
Probably not the best break-in, but I tried to vary the speed as much as possible and change gears often on the way home. I also got off and on the highway a bunch of times, but I may continue the break-in babying for a bit beyond the recommended 621 miles. It is always tough breaking in a new performance car though, haha!
Congrats!! Did you test drive one beforehand? Or was this a sight unseen purchase?

It’s been raining almost everyday since I took delivery of my 2023 IS500 FSport Premuim WH/BLK. I’ve had it for 3 weeks now but it’s been garaged since delivery as I could only get an appointment for PPF 4 week out. It’s been an agonizing wait. Here’s a few pics while she was still at the dealership.

drives cars
Point being, even with the Infrared, people will assume you are grandpa. I'll be the first to admit that if I see a 2021+ IS on the road, 9/10 times it's an older-looking person driving. I kinda like that if I am honest.
