High Quality, good looks
icarnut, Bellevue, WA, 03/05/2013
2012 Lexus IS 250 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 6cyl 6A)
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.
I have owned this car for 5.5 years and still love

2012 Lexus IS 250 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 6cyl 6A)
My previous car was a 2002 BMW 325 AWD. The ride on the Lexus isn't as tight as the BMW, but it is superior in all other respects, especially its service needs and cost. The BMW was a money pit, and the Lexus is just the opposite. I will never go back.
This car is fantastic

2012 Lexus IS 250 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 6cyl 6A)
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
