Hi, The same thing happened to me last week. The guy who smashed into me does not have insurance. I have taken my car into Parra Smash repair as they are recommended by Lexus. I have full insurance so I have been told that as long as I fill in all the paperwork I have nothing else to do. Do any of you guys have experience with this sort of situation and thus what the process is?

Hi, I got the graphite color with bisque leather seats. Located in Parramatta.

Did you get the navigation system when you got your car? If you didn't you will get the sensors but not the rear facing camera. Meguiars sell a leather and vinyl protector which has been highly recomended by several people. HI, I did not get the nav pack with the car. I essentially got the basic car. The only option I have is the sunroof. I am just concerned about using any leather products on the seats as they have the fan under the seats.

Hi, Thanks for your replies. I have bought the Prestige model. I have been extremely happy with the rise and grip of the car. I am sure the bigger wheels would have made a difference but I was more keen on a smooth ride. The seating position does take a bit getting sued to but given the size of the side mirrors its not too bad parking the car. This is first every "luxury" car I have purchased and I am very pleased that I went with Lexus rather than a BMW or Audi. I have inquired about the rear parking sensor and its apparently $800 to get installed by the Lexus dealership. Not sure is this is worth the cash. I am sur I wish I had it when I going to reverse park the car:) Can anyone recommend a good product to keep the leather seats clean/UV protect?

Hi, I am now to this forum. I just took delivery of my IS250 yesterday. Have driven around a bit (about 200km's) in city traffic and on the highway and done the usual cornering and brake performance tests (the fun stuff). For the past 3.5 yrs I have been driving a 3.8l supercharged commodore. So I am still feeling the massive difference in the two cars. My initial observations are that the car is amazingly smooth. Its amazingly quiet and refined. The ride quality is superb, the steering lacks a lot of feel at low speeds and the brakes are very good although a bit punchy. My issues with the car having had it for the past 2 days is that the seating position is very low (I am fairly short) and that in relation to the height of the seats the windows are a bit high. I love the massive mirrors on the car although parking the car takes a bit getting used to as I cant see the front end of the car to judge distances. I have been very surprised by the performance of the car. I did not think it would be a fast car by any means but its a very quiet performer. Its feels very nimble and agile. Been very impressed by the way the car corners. Excellent grip on the road. I just wish the set could be hight adjusted a bit further. I have it at the max height setting but is it possible to take it to the dealer and they can increase the height further than the factory max setting? I am guessing no. I a wondering what forum members think of the IS250 overall. I am certainly getting used to the car as its so very different to my Commodore in every aspect.

Hi, I just took delivery of my IS250 today and the sales person told me that the 2 setting are for: 1) the front fog lights (as per normal) 2) the rear "fog lights". This is essentially the red brake lights glowing much brighter (for use during heave rain or fog conditions). Hope that explains it.
