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.

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
Happy to Own!

This was an upgrade from a 95 Dodge Neon, so it didn't take much to make me happy. Very happy driving my new car!
More fun than a Beemer.

I drove almost every comparable car over the two months prior to purchasing the Lexus IS 250 RWD with the 6 speed manual. My last few vehicles had 300 hp (Infiniti and BMW) but putting it to the pavement was not as much fun as with the Lexus 2.5L V6 6M. All I can say is that with the 6 speed manual transmission, the car is actually a well balanced fun car to drive. I drove a few automatics and didn't get the same feeling in the car. Also, I have upgraded lowering springs, cold air intake, catback exhaust, short throw shifter, 19 inch IS-F rims, and added a spoiler. The added power and greatly improved exhaust sound makes the car truly more fun than the BMW 335i or Infiniti G35
