Reliable like a tank, comfortable driver's car on long trips. Style inside and out is superb. Gas pedal is a little too close to the transmission well on the AWD model I own for my foot to be 100% comfortable. Surprisingly strong in inclement weather even w/more performance oriented tires. Gets a lot of looks from other drivers. The leather used in the car feels like a baby's skin - it's wonderful!

This car is not the fastest or the best handling in the sports sedan category. However,it has got to be best all-around. What other all wheel drive sports sedan can consistently achieve 26 mpg in mixed city/hwy driving with legendary Toyota reliability? It was unstoppable in snow with all weather tires and the vehicle stability control kicks in when you need it. I bought it used and have had no mechanical issues other than routine maintenance/one recall. My Lexus dealer always has a loaner. In the five categories of performance (handling, power, mpg), comfort (interior noise, hvac - okay my Volvo had comfier seats), reliability, value and style (black with blacked out windows)it gets the gold.

What a Feeling

I have owned numorous cars across the board (BMW 530, Lexus ES300, Acura, etc..). There has not been a car that has even come close to the feeling you get from driving the new IS 250 AWD. The car stands out like no other. And to top it off, you are in a LEXUS. What more can you ask for. Before the new IS came out, I was torn between the Acura TL and the infiniti G35 Coupe. Once the IS was finally available to test drive, I was so thankful that I waited. I would of been truly disappointed if I would of bought one of the other cars. Not that they were bad choices, but in my eyes, they are not even in the same league.
Lexus... they've covered it!

I've only had the car for a week and I still feel as though I've pulled the wool over somebody's eyes. Based on other vehicles in its class, this car should cost more. On second thought... I'm happy with the savings- but you know what I mean. I keep waiting for someone to wake me up to ask for my keyless fob back and to tell me the dream is over! The IS250 offers an interior environment that is very comfortable - and it's clear to me that the designer's gave much effort to providing a good mix of tasteful elegance without going too far over the top with tackiness. I'm hopeful the famous Lexus reliability remains true and my good comments about the car remain solid at the end of my lease!

The car is sure footed and evokes confidence and a sense of security on the road. Pure power under control. When I need speed I've got plenty to spare to kick my head back. The F1 style shifters are a great feature and are not the gimmick I originally thought they might be. I use it to slow the car up when I have erratic drivers in front of me. Lot's of "Wow" factor in this car.
