The Lexus IS200t is great, it looks better than other cars in this segment, in my opinion. The IS200t is a good combination of comfort, sportiness and Lexus reliability. It turns heads where ever we drive it.

The futures on this vehicle are amazing! The blind spot monitoring system is very helpful, especially on the highway! It's difficult to find an excellent backup camera, but the one on this vehicle is perfect! The red interior on it completes the sporty yet sophisticated look.

Poor acceleration from a stop!

We leased this car for my Wife and she has been very disappointed. When merging into traffic from a stop it has a 3 second delay, which at times makes it very unsafe. Since she is never accelerating hard to 60 its overall speed does not matter as much. As a daily driver in heavy stop and go traffic we would not recommend this car.

Tires

Love the car but just like previous reviews, I to had to replace tires and I've only had the car 2 yrs. I was given 3 tire options at the Lexus dealership, 1700.00 being top of the line to 785.00 for Dunlap. Very disappointed in the quality of tires for this car. Don't plan on keeping the car if having to replace tires every 2 yrs.

Tires Problems

This car is great, perfect for my teenager son, the problem is the tires. It came with dunlop tires that last only 15K miles. Took to the dealer for regular maintenance and they find out the the wear tires worn out at 15K miles, all of the four and they need to be changed ASAP. Called Dunlop and they send me to another tire shop, they checked the tires and they agree with the dealer, tires need to be replaced. They quoted me over $ 900. I went to Sams club and I've got new tires for $ 626 (no dunlop). Disappointed with Lexus, Lexus needs to make sure to deliver new is200t cars with good tires. I had three others lexus that did not have this problem, tires need to be replace at least after two years or 30K miles.
