Compared to the less striking ascetically European competitors, I feel the IS stands out. Eminent White Metallic exterior is gorgeous over the black interior; spiced up with the red inlays that appear on the seats and dash reminding me of the F Sport models. A lot of value for the money even as a base with 18 liquid graphite staggered wheels and radar cruise control with lane departure warning. Feels very sporty ...not fast but nether slow. I wish for driver memory seat settings and a power telescoping steering wheel which I think should be standard for a Lexus but oh well, you can’t have it all for under $40k. Just three of us so we have enough space but don’t be tall or have tall friends without cars...storage inside lacks too and the trunk isn’t for the pack rat travelor

Is a turbo -charged IS 200t right for you?

This is my first turbo-carged vehicle and the lack of consistent, steady acceleration takes some getting used to. Make sure you go for an extended test drive to make sure you feel comfortable with this vehicle. All else is fine. Lots of compliments on appearance . Red interior is awesome.

I've been really into these cars lately & saw them in the used car market for attractive prices. I just bought a gray one with the red leather which is very tasteful & looks & smells very high quality. The seats are aggressively bolstered & hold you in place well, but are also soft & comfortable. I'm 6ft & there's plenty of room up front & I love the layout of the controls which are leaning at the perfect angle to how your hand will land. The center console is at a perfect level with an easy reach to all of the controls.The 10 inch display is beautiful & the mouselike cursor works well, can be a little distracting while your driving, but not quite as bad as what reviewers say. Visibility is not the best, but it's not terrible ether, my car has blind spot monitoring which helps. The turbocharged 4-cylinder engine sounds good enough & is quiet & very smooth. It can feel soft on power during normal acceleration, but put your foot down a bit more & it has some good punch where you don't need more power. Steering is very smooth & the ride is mostly smooth especially on smooth pavement. My car just replaced a 2015 Toyota Camry XSE V6 that I bought new three years ago & so far the Lexus is showing huge improvement as expected.

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.

My third Lexus

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.
