This is my first Lexus and I upgraded from a car that is no longer available. I was first attracted to the car when I drove a friend of mine's car. Overall this is a great car. I agree that there are more powerful cars out there, but I wanted better gas mileage and less power. If more power is needed then the IS 350 is available. On the vehicle there is a POWER switch that changes the shift differential with a notable power increase. If you are looking, you may want to try this and save your self $4K.
Sporty, stylish and fun!

I've had my IS for just over a year now and have driven over 23k miles. I believe this car to be well designed and of great quality. The styling and sleek look stand above all cars in its class and has head turning qualities. Mileage is OK. Comfort while driving is great. Back seat's a little tight for adults. Otherwise, this car is HOT!

Very frugal all wheel drive

Very smart looking comfortable and luxurious. The all wheel drive is great for winter driving. My overall gas mileage is 24 mpg, very good for an all wheel drive. Only drawback is need for premium fuel. For the price I paid I think this car is a very good value. Thousands less than competing BMWs with all wheel drive. The lights are not that good for night driving. Reliability is superb! Trunk is small so you have to pack your luggage skillfully for any extended trip.

I have had many sporty vehicles in the past. This is an excellent bottom-line & all-around sedan. Good looks, comfort, sport, safety, fuel economy.
Cheap Luxury

Overall good entry level luxury car. Have had to replace transmission (Manual) once under warranty as well as ongoing trips to the dealer to resolve interior trim panel rattling and cracking noises which are as of now solved. Great gas mileage, good engine, could use more power to be competitive with other makes. Cramped rear seat is a drawback
