IS 250 MT

Compared the others. The interior decided the choice for me. The IS 250 lacks power to all the competitors, but I'm not drag racing either. Power is OK, exterior is at the top of the list IMO, but the interior and the materials are amazing in a car this price. I would have bought the 350 but had to have the stick shift. It gives the IS 250 that connection to the road that the smooth shifting Auto takes away, making it more sporty.

I recently brought this car and have been very impressed with the driving experience. In research to purchase a new car I alway wanted a Lexus but when the new IS came out I was very satisfied with the look the performance the technology within the car.

Love this car

It's one week old and every time I get in this car it makes me feel great. The interior is a work of art and the outside isn't bad either. The handling couldn't be better here on the country roads of western Mass. I find the power fine for the way I drive. My wife finally really enjoys a car. Fuel economy is about 24 mpg after 325 miles.

I have had the IS 250 AWD in Matador Red since January. This car gets attention and everyone I have shown it to is very impressed with its styling and features -- they also love the color. I would recommend this car to everyone but then it would make mine less "special"

Best Choice for the Money

The Lexus IS 250 is not the fastest or most superbly handling sport sedan, but for the money it can't be beat. The styling, inside and out, is beautiful. The interior is well executed, with all controls easy to access in very comfortable seats. Has lots of safety features. The smaller engine provides plenty of power, unless you are addicted to neck-snapping acceleration. The ride is well damped but not jarring. It feels very solid. The engine at idle is so quiet that I once got out of the car not realizing I had left the engine running. I got the Mark Levinson audio system, which is the best OEM system I have ever heard. Overall, I love driving the car and look forward to a road trip.
