I test drove both the 350 Fsport and the 200t Fsport. I decided on the 200t because of the turbo 4 and the 8 speed trans. The 350 does have torque on demand but if one understands how a turbo works and can manipulate the lag the 200t is an awesome machine. You can't expect performance out of the 200t when its stuck in Eco mode. Put the car in Sport mode and it will awaken the beast within. The 200t is lighter and feels more nimble and balanced than the 350. I saved $6000 over the 350 and with that savings I can tune this car to out perform the 350 and still have thousands left. In my opinion, the 200t is the best-bang-for-your-buck!! The interior is beautiful and the seats very comfortable. The exterior styling is a work of art. I love this car.

This is my third Lexus. I have had a 2009 rx350, 2013 rx350, and now the is200t. I have a long commute daily so this car just made sense for gas mileage purposes. My first rx350 was top of the line but the leather interior was no where near as nice as the interior in my is200t. My is200t is pearl white and I get compliments on this car just about everywhere I go. I rarely ever received compliments on my prior rx350’s and they were both new at the time. There is a bit of a turbo lag, but this only occurs when attempting to accelerate without it being on sports mode. I obviously love Lexus but this is by far my favorite Lexus to date. I believe this does say so much for this vehicle considering I am comparing it to the more expensive rx350.

I got the 2016 lexus IS 200t few weeks ago and so far have to say like it alot. my previous car was 2014 infiniti g37, now can't say i didn't like the infiniti, acceleration of g37 is of course superior to lexus IS 200, and the overall feel when u are behind the wheel is good with g37 just as it is good with lexus IS. But the IS overall feels like an upgrade. 1. the exterior design is quite something, it is fresh, no other car from same category in my opinion beats lexus - audi a4, bmw 3 series, infinity q50 2. quality of interior is high. the seats for example are higher quality than that of audi a4, now you could get higher quality seats in a4 as a package but they come standard with lexus IS. Overall interior quality will feel better than in audi a4 or bmw 3 series, but prob not better than quality of q50 3. this model makes some features standard where other makes (audi, bmw) would make them optional. keyless ignition, rear view camera, and my favorite free feature - the interior lights up as you approach the car door with keys in your pocket - these little features give a feel of owning luxury

This is my sixth Lexus. Four ES, one RX and now my IS200T. Love that the rear view camera, Satellite radio and moon roof are standard. Car being a foot shorter than ES is great when parking. Seats very comfortable and lots of adjustment options. Intuitive controls....not lots of complicated toys. Acceleration OK, not great. Stops very quickly, nice turning circle. Got excellent (33 mpg) on road trip into Blue Ridge Mts in NC, even with mountain driving and a/c blasting. A Summer complaint....Start button situated in such a spot that mid day sun makes it very hot to touch in summer. Bought a sunshade that solved that issue. Gas prices still low so that Premium at Costco still "cheap". Might not feel that way during next gas crisis. Second issue is that the statistics indicator easily gets out of sync. Just touch the wrong button and the readings. change and not easy to reset. ..nothing mechanical, just annoying. Not firm when handling curves like German cars.........this became more annoying........decided to test drive a BMW 320i.......BOUGHT THE BIMMER.......more FUN to drive in April 2018. Still an excellent car.

I trade an IS 250 for 200T. I am disappointed with the acceleration of my 200T. The car takes around 2.5 to 3 seconds to accelerate after press the accelerator pedal. I called Lexus USA and they referred me to the dealer, I called the dealer and they referred me to Lexus USA. Has anyone one experience this issue?
