Replying to: Lonewolf77 (Mar 18, 2009 8:35 pm) Meantime, i'm having a hard time finding things to be critical of with this car; it's a peach. fyi: - wimpy exhaust note ( I don't favor noise, it's just that this sound is, well...) - audio knobs have a slick surface - no lumbar adjuster - no auto-on headlights, just like my chevy has; i miss this most of all - the wipers are way cool but i wonder what the refills will cost - the trunk (is it a latch?) protrudes down and i bonk my forehead when reaching in there sometimes

| Will the OEM XM radio package work with the LX-S radio? I like the integrated XM better and don't think it will be a big deal to install it myself. | |

I bought my Civic EX-L this afternoon. I didn't notice the brake handle earlier, but I sure did later in the evening as I drove through town. That handle hits the outside of my right knee smack dab on the bone which makes for an extremely annoying and sore ride. My solution (and I don't know if this is going to work) is to take one of those neoprene rubber beer can holders, cut out the bottom and wrap the sides around the hand grip then secure it with some neatly wrapped black electrical tape. It may not look as cool as factory, but I think it might just solve the problem. I'll return to this site and let you know what happened.

Replying to: exeter (May 16, 2009 8:58 pm) A friend of mine just bought an '07 Lexus IS 250. I was surprised to see that it has a foot-pedal operated parking brake (like most older domestic cars). I think Toyota uses these on the Camry and Avalon, too. It opens up space on the center console or allows the console to be smaller (and out of the way of us long-legged folks). Do hand-operated parking brakes really make sense anymore? If your resourceful solution doesn't solve the issue, check out some Honda and/or Civic-specifc enthusiast forums (just Google "Honda Civic forum"). I'm sure there is an aftermarket solution of some sort available by now! Anyway, congrats on the new car! I currently have a Mazda3, but I've had several Civics (and Accords) in the past and loved every one of 'em!

Replying to: thegraduate (May 17, 2009 7:07 am) When I was learning to drive, I was coordinated enough to use the hand brake "hill holding" method. I learned quickly how to start off on hills without rolling back! But I have known other drivers who prefer the hand brake. By the way, the IS 250 is actually the ONLY Lexus that you can get with a manual (a 6-speed). But after you made that comment, I started wondering if the IS250 6MT had a hand brake. I found a review of it with photos and, sure enough, the manual transmission model has a different center console with a hand brake!
