What Edmunds Says

Can't match the BMW 3 Series, but its combination of price, performance and premium features make the IS 300 a very intriguing sport sedan or wagon.

Pros

Outstanding driving dynamics, slick interior decor, competitive pricing.

Cons

Small rear seat and trunk, not much storage space, aging design struggles to keep up with its more modern competition.
