lexynik mmm-sounds perfect - gotta have nav though or it would just bug the hell out of me

Yep having nav is useful, and makes the dash look better imho.

However there is always the option of replacing the headunit (which will inevitably fail anyway) with an all in one double DIN nav unit?

The IS never had the aero single blade wipers as OEM fit - you'll have to fit those yourself if you want them.

2001-2004 had triple jet washers, 2004 onwards had fan jets Smile

Funnily enough it was the GS450h that I was looking at as a potential swap - but still not sure I'm ready to part with the IS, it's been such a great car it doesn't feel right replacing it with something that I don't feel as strongly about.........it's more a decision of the head than the heart :confused1:

look at the deal I got for the Prius........

"Life's goal is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body. But, rather to skid in sideways........
totally worn out and broken, shouting 'Holy ****, WHAT A RIDE!'"

Marsdendean Just drive one, and the power will make you swap! He's put an M3 to shame in his before now!
That's what the dealer said too - he showed me the boot, said if you can live with that then after a drive you'll buy :biggrin:

2tongues look at the deal I got for the Prius........
Good point, maybe I should push a bit to see what they've got.......
