Review

Very nice car stands out still, being a late model,head turner the speed on car is fine 204horses and its smooth shifting gears also limits over acceleration at start to preserve the transmission the car is built to last nice bang for the buck

Review

I have a 2012 IS250 with AWD and NAV.
Interior is very high quality.
Seats are comfortable, although the backseat is abit tight but still comfortable.
Ride is abit stiff, but handling around corners is excellent.
Power steering is a little stiff for being electric, but will have the dealer look into that.
Gas mileage is good for V6 (27 MPG).
Very sporty looking, gets admired by other drivers.

Best Features

Heated/Cooling seats, NAV, Sound System, leather seats, LED daytime running lights, no key entry/start. Quality of interior material.

Worst Features

Need a dual driving mode switch soft/sporty like some BMW. More power steering. Too sensitive to uneven roads, it tends to drift. Need a bit more power. Need more interior leather trim.

Review

I went to test a cert pre owned IS 250 and walked out with a lease on a new premium pkg black with tan interior, spoiler and nav. Great car. Period. The acceleration is lacking when you first get going but this car flies down the highway. No problem passing, handles like a pro. I almost feel like a race car driver and I'm not pushing the speed limit (not too much anyway). The LED headlights are sharp on this car and definitely earns her looks. Gas mileage is average for this car, no complaints.

Best Features

Great handling and acceleration at speed, interior is very comfortable and easy to care for.

Worst Features

I have difficulty handling this car in bad weather conditions. Constantly spinning out at lights or sliding around corners. Never had this problem in my other vehicles.

Review

Had it now for two months. A trip to Florida quickly put 3300 miles on the odometer. The surprise is gas mileage. I have averaged 25+mpg overall, and the Florida trip averaged 33mpg! I would say performance is good, but it takes a heavy foot to get the revs up there for excellent acceleration. I drove a BMW325 while looking. I do not detect any better response at all while driving, and the interior quality and technological features are not even close to the IS. BMW reliability is sketchy at best, and am not interested in that. I am very satisfied with my IS!

Best Features

Beautiful black paint...the best paint job I have ever seen. The quality build and convenience features are as good as, or better than those found in cars costing twice as much. The transmission and paddle shifters work perfectly. The car is very quiet.

Worst Features

Perhaps more legroom in the rear, although we knew it was limited and had no problems with our earlier Acura Integra because we rarely transport anyone. A relative with an S4 Audi has the same situation.
