I bought this car brand new January 2017 and paid maintenance until 50,000 miles thinking this car will make me keep it for a long time without having no breakdown so soon? But unfortunately if u buy the F sport feature model I just found out that front breaks needs changed with less than 20,000 miles already??? OMG! I almost lost it with the maintenance agent how could that possible a Lexus need break changing less than 20,000 miles??? The agent explained that is the performance capacity on this kind of car i never thought this is happening and the lexus dealer want to charged me about $900 to replaced it? I would never buy Lexus car ever again they are selling junk parts i am so disappointed.

The car cannot compete against the competion in any way, best thing about the car is the looks, the interior is good. The performance of this vehicle is HORRIBLE! $50,000 car that cant keep up with cars half the price, i regret leasing this vehicle, when i could have leased a srt8 charger for the same price that has more interior space, better entertaint system and a much faster car over 400hp compared to my 240hp lexus. Im very disappointed in this vehicle, and i will not be purchasing a lexus ever again. The price for what you get is terrible compared to all the competiton.

Better off with the IS350 if you can swing it

The turbo 4 is an improvement on the 2.5 V6 in the IS250 from 2015 but only has marginally better fuel economy that the 3.5 V6 in the previous and current IS350. It has less torque, and less horse power, slower acceleration, and (if it matters to you) doesn't sound nearly as nice as the V6 does. Don't kid yourself, the only reason you would buy this car is if you can't afford the 350 series. I'm not saying its a bad car, I'm just saying you should test drive both. I'm not sure why someone else said it handles better, thats complete BS as curb weight is almost identical, 3,583 lb vs 3,593 lb.

I love this car! I'll update the review after I've been behind the wheel longer, but so far its been pretty amazing. The only downside is that everyday I see around 5-10 of the same exact car driving around, even down to the color inside and out. A popular car and now I know why. I am a go against the grain type of guy but I'll swim with the school on this one. Its worth it.

I’ve had no major issues with my car. I love it. Super fast and stylish. Great resale value as well but I’m not interested in selling.
