Fun to Drive

The IS 250 is a fun car to drive. The auto handles well, even at high speeds, and has a nice feel and response. Excellent brakes. The ride is plush and very pleasing. I like the paddle shifts on the steering wheel. The heated and ventilated seats work well in cool weather. I have not tired during the summer season. The shape of the car is exciting. Love all the angles.
Great looking car but poor visibility

I originally loved this car but when I started to drive it around in everyday situations I realized I made a mistake in leasing this car. The visibility is very poor for parallel parking and also for making turns and backing up. I have damaged the wheels and wheel rims because of this. This is my first lexus and my last.

More Standard Equipment Than Competitors

2006 to 2012 cars are all nearly identical. Standard equipment is aweseome and smokes competition. Super easy to buy. Color?, navigation?, AWD or RWD?, and then you choose if you can live with 200HP or you need 300HP. The 250 AWD model is the dog of the pack. I have a certified pre-owned model I highly reccomend. Issues: recall for floor mats, recall for steering column tightening, and had 2 sensors fail. All covered under warranty and dealer gave me a brand new vehicle to cruise around in. Car requires a large amount of oil. You also need a Special Service Tool (SST) Toyota "cup" to change the oil filter. Paid $24,999 for CPO '06 with 30K miles in 2009. 2.9% APR for 3 years in Chicagoland.

Thus far with only 7500 miles on the car we are generally happy with it. I would recommend to Lexus that they use a higher profile tire and that this vehicle be sold only with a backup camera. It is impossible to see anything that is behind it, reasonably. A recent 900 mile trip gave about 33 mpg which we think is excellent for a 200 hp machine with the added drag of AWD.
i love the is 250

Great car. Very smooth. Has i bit of issues with the sensitivity at higher speeds, but its not that big of an issue.. i didnt know i had to put 91 octane in the tank.. but for a 16 gal tank, got approx 411miles to the tank, i drove from vegas to santa barbara on 1 tank, great power! No issues going up or down hill, the tep stayed flawless. Very easy car to drive.
