Lexus IS 2014+ :: IS250 F-Sport In Sport Mode?
It's just the throttle response? Is steering or brakes enhanced or is it just me? I know the Is250 didn't get the suspension option like the IS350.

So mine is a 2014 is250awd and I currently have 16,000 miles. Sometimes when I put my car into park the gear lever doesn't always go all the way into park. It kinda gets stuck, then the car under its own weight will pull the lever into park. I will see an obvious movement of the gear lever going even further into the park position.
Sometimes I try to be a little bit more forceful with it, to push the gear lever into park. So it doesn't get pulled or clicked into place by the weight of the car gently settling forward or backwards depending where I parked.
But The other day I pulled into and parked on a bit of an incline, put the car in park and got out. When I got back into the car from the store, when I sat in the car it rolled back what seemed like and inch and a loud click and I see the gear lever get forced into park as the car rolled back. So it seemed to me I left the car, and it wasn't quite in park or drive. Which seems a bit unsettling to me.

Best way to describe would be a continuous whining noise.

Experience a grinding noise at around 1500-1800 rpm when driving?
The noise sounds like the 2nd gen valve spring start up but not as loud.
The dealer was able to replicate the noise on my car but they don't know what is causing it.
They called the regional guy to come look at it but he doesn't have a clue where or what is causing the noise.

Noise starts at around 10K-15k miles and dealer couldn't replicate it then but I hear it everyday.

Lexus IS 2014+ :: IS350 F Sport Check Engine Light At 7k Miles?
So today during my drive I looked down and noticed my check engine light come on! The car has 7k miles on it!! All I've done to it was the ARK cat back and k and n drop in filter. I'm guessing O2 sensor but it's crazy to think a car with 7k miles had a bad sensor. Noticed the car was running a little rough lately but noting too crazy.

I have driven two Lexus IS 250's with the standard 17" wheels. I am considering trading up to the 2014 model, which appears to often come with 18" wheels on the AWD model (which is what I am looking for).
What differences can I expect on the 18" wheels vs. what the 17" gives now?

Lexus IS 2014+ :: New LS300 Sluggish Even In Sport Mode
2016 IS300.
I've had it for 4 days now, and I've never had a brand new car so maybe this is a moot point. But the car simply feels heavy and sluggish. I'm at a little over 300 miles and the car just doesn't have much zip compared to my 2010 IS. Also, when I had the clear bra done at Lexus they gave me an identical loaner (2016 IS300 AWD) with around 800 miles and it felt totally different.
I remember with my 2010 reading that the car has to "learn" how you drive, etc. With my 2016 it'll go from a dead stop, them a couple of shifts in it drops to a super low gear. Even in sport mode it feels sluggish. In ECO mode... Well, lets just say that feels laughable.
Why was my loaner (which was identical to my new car) much zippier in the normal mode? Is this something I should be concerned about? The car runs fine, just no zip (yet).
Lexus IS 2014+ :: Weather Map Location On 2016 F Sport?
Where is the Weather map supposed to be?
Just picked up a 2016 Fsport and have been going through all the various menus and I see nothing about weather...
The regular nav screen shows traffic perfectly and has since day one, but no weather or radar map, or even a hint of it, anywhere in any of the menus... I have lot of HD radio stations available and the "HD" with the three cars next to it is lit up just fine on the nav map.
Lexus IS 2014+ :: RSR Sport-I Coils Installed But Clicking On Startup?
Just got RSR Sport-i Coils installed on my 3IS. Love the ride and the look of the car with the drop. One problem though, when I start the car there is clicking noise from the two rear coils that last for about 1.5-2 seconds. I start the car, the dashboard and screens all begin to turn on, then the clicking happens for 2 seconds and then stops. This all occurs while the car is in park. There is no other clicking while i'm driving. Only when I start the car.
Im thinking it must be something with the stock system. Like something is trying to activate but it is being restricted. Im going to call the shop and try and bring it in tomorrow.
Anyway, heres a few pics of the car. Had them leave 1 finger width between the tire and fender. Also, kept the raked look so the rear sits a bit higher than the front.
Lexus IS 2014+ :: Steering Wheel More Responsive In Sport Mode
Recently I started driving on eco mode to have the smoothest ride/acceleration. However, yesterday I wanted to get my dose of sport mode and WOT, so I switched to sport mode and stepped on the gas and during a small curve I felt the car steering is stiffer than usual, so I thought it could be due to speed. After that I reduced my speed and tried switching between sport and eco back to back and the sport mode steering actually is stiffer and more responsive! . I was surprised because my car is not the F sport, it is the normal is350 with tech package, and Lexus didn't mention this when describing the sport mode.
