Dash board is made of poor quality material. Many of owners are complaining, that they have cracks, because of hot and cold weather. 2.5 6 cylinder engine has poor MPG. Rear seats area has poor leg room. Extremely poor customer service.

Worst car I ever had

This is without a doubt the worse car I ever had; can't wait until the lease is up. The visibility is horrible. I can't see where am going, specially if you are trying to back up. The low profile tires are horrible, I have spent over $1500 on tires and the car has less than 15,000 miles. You feel every bump on the road. Terrible ride.

This is not my type of car, but I must say it's great for a luxury sedan. To start off with some negative points, it lacks on acceleration and power, rear legroom can be a problem, and the steering is a little too light. What I liked about it is the electronic gizmos and its great styling inside and out. It also has a good fuel economy. And it seems like I find out about a new hidden feature everyday.

I just got this car as a graduation present and it is amazing. I used to drive a New Beetle so i'm used to smaller cars. This is the perfect size, has amazing handling, and the GPS/nav is worth every penny.

We have only owned our IS 250 AWD for a few weeks and we love it! Smooth ride, superb styling inside and out, plenty enough horsepower, outstanding sound system, and not to forget, Lexus service... Initially we were concerned with the tight back seat; however, it is more than enough space to accommodate our little one around town. You will definitely get noticed on the road when riding around in this sporty sedan!
