Nothing has gone with this car. I love it, and I would recommend it to anyone. I have been breaking it in slowly so I have been driving mainly in the city. Gas milage has been OK, I get around 16-19 MPG.
My IS300 is a 2002 model and I was put on a waiting list to get it. I'm glad I got a 2002 model because the factory rear spoiler I got with it looks a lot better than the after market one. I was thinking about the navigation system, but $2000 is a bit too much. So instead I'm thinking of putting a flip-up TV in that spot, to give my car a custom feel. The problem is that I can't find such a TV.
I was looking at BMW 330 and Mercedes C-class, but those cars seem "bland" and everyone has one. The IS300 is an eye-catcher and looks much sportier than the competition.
My friend has two Lexus IS300, one is his parents and one is his. I do enjoy driving the stick better than the "slap shift" automatic. The handling is excellent, with nearly 50/50 weight distribution throughout the car. I own a Porsche 944 Turbo, and prefer it over the IS300, however I am probably partially persuaded to my car, because of the sportiness of it, if you will. But for a four door "sedan", it is the best one on the market today in my opionion. As for a TV, my friend installed a Kenwood in his, but I am unsure on the specific model of it! Best of Luck!
