Went out of town to buy it!

Test drove everything in it's class: Acura TL, BMW 3 series, and Audi A4. I had to drive 200 miles to test the Lexus. I was nervous because I spend an enormous amount of time in my car for work and was looking for something that traveled well, was stylish, and offered the luxury perks for the price I was paying. After narrowing down the choice to either an Acura TL or the IS 250, Lexus came out on top in every category. The navigation system with blue tooth, essential for me, was by far superior. The air-conditioned leather seats keep me cool in my suite all day. And the car inspires others to speed up or slow down to look when I'm on the road. I love this car like a fat kid loves cake.

Thank you Lexus! I love this car! Smooth transmission, heated and cooled front seats, tight turning radius, nice dash, clear NAV, sexy exterior, sophisticated red paint (matador red) above all else ... fun to drive. AWD is also on my car. I can wait to try it out in the snow. Standard radio is wonderful!

Have my tungston pearl 250 for a month now. Enjoy it more and more everyday. Gets lots of looks everywhere I go. May not be the largest or fastest car in it's class but definitely the most WOW factor.

Sport and Luxury

Clearly this car is the luxury alternative for those seeking refinement and pep. The RWD Lexus offers a nice spurt but give way more emphasis to luxury and refinement than just performance. My IS comes with Bluetooth and the Navigation package as well as the larger summer tires. Even in the break-in period I am getting north of 30 MPG. The comfort is unparalleled in its class. Having done substantial driving in the BMW 325, Acura TL and VW Passat, I can say that this car has no peer. The ventilated seats offer creature comfort that is very useful to those of us in South Florida. I found the Acura to have cheap interior and a top heavy sway the interior was inferior especially the fake wood stickers.

I really enjoy the comfort, handling, and the power of the IS 250 Lexus. The vehicle is very responsive yet quiet and peaceful inside. You often forget you're in the driver's seat because your soo relaxed.
