More Than I Expected
Family member already has an ES, so Lexus was on the list. But never expected to get so much for so little. Matador Red Mica with Beige interior (upgraded with perforated leather, heat/cool seats/woodgrain finish) stands out in a crowd. Car has a strong mix of sensual looks combined with solid performance and unmistakable luxury inside and out. A solid performer for a daily driver and certainly worth the money. Better looking than BMW, better performance than Mercedes, hands down winner over Acura. Looked at every other car but this one. Have not regretted this decision one bit.
Love it!!
My first Lexus was the 2000 RX 300 AWD SUV, my 2nd was the one I traded for this IS, it was a 2006 RX 330. It was a lengthy decision process for me to figure out if I was ready to leave my love of SUVs. I made the right decision! I love this car! I'm saving a load of money due to it's great gas mileage! This car is the most fun to drive out of every single car I've ever driven.

Great Car, Best in Class.
A wonderful car, equal or better than all its German competition. A pleasure to drive. My choice after testing new BMW 330i, Audi A4, Mercedes 280c. Now after owning for one year I know I made the right choice. Have not even visited the dealer since purchasing in Feb 2008. Very highly recommended car. Weak points: GPS lacks features like Garmin and TomTom ability to download POIs and traffic/speed camera locations. Even with the expensive GPS I still need to use my Garmin.
My New IS.
So I finally got my IS. I was looking into getting a new car but was really stock on which car I should get. I test drove the Audi A4, BMW 3 (4 door) and also the Infiniti G35s. Honestly, they are all pretty close in all areas. Got a loaded 250 with nav, Bluetooth, back camera heated seats and all for well under 400! 380!
Yes and No
Well, at first it was all YES. The car design is awesome, very sporty. The interior is excellent, love the leather. After having this for exactly a year now, I am looking for another vehicle. Yes the car is nice and No it's not a practical car. I was used to the VW Jetta TDI, I miss the 45+ mpg. Great car, I just need something that fits me.
