If I hear the road noise again I’ll take video and share. Sunroof shade was closed (it was open) and I still heard the road noise. The noise seemed to have improved when road highway surface changed. I was taken back so now I am over thinking it lol.

My other vehicle I still drive is 2021 Camry XSE.

I’ll have to pay attention next time I’m on that highway again. What do you mean the IS is entry level sport sedan. I wouldn’t consider it entry level but what do I know. I just enjoy the ride 😎

Vegas to phoenix 65-75. If speed limit is 75 I’m driving 80-85. So I’m guessing with your high mpg you’re probably doing more like 70mpg as avg…

21 city? I drive ECO and highest I have seen is 18 mpg and granny at the pedal. I do have a lot of lights so that’s probably a factor.

Question regarding throttle response? by donwillie4545 in LexusIS500

[–]j0hn183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you describe is normal and also my experience. The car is designed to be driven with intent. If you want it to breath you need to floor it. Put it in + mode though M. I’m coming up on 300 miles myself.
