I've got an '09' IS250 SE-L at the mo as my IS200 is being serviced, and I have to say I really like the facelifted model - so many niggles have been ironed out that just make the experience so much nicer Smile

Mirrors folding automatically on lock is also a nice feature and the cooling seats seem a lot more effective than the pre-facelift cars I've had in the past. However the ML system doesn't appear to sound quite as crisp as it did on the earlier cars, has anything changed? Mind you I've only tried the radio so far, not a CD so it could just be poor reception.

Also to anyone that has one, what's the setting on the reverse camera that creates a silly warning that you have to "agree" to before it gives you the picture? At first I thought it did that every time but I've switched that off now......but I can't seem to figure out what it's actually doing. The button seems to look as though it's to aid with the size of a parking space but it doesn't seem to do much.

Yep I'm not keen on the silver bits either, and yes it's not as aggressive as the mk1 IS but with it sat on the drive I couldn't help but think what a good looking car it is.

Nope not planning to trade in for the mo, still happy with the current IS - although an IS350 would make it a lot more tempting........:drool:
