We bought this 2010 IS250 after our last Lexus was wrecked in a weather related accident. We have a GX460 and we’ve owned two other Lexus models. The IS is a spunky little sedan with many features. It’s fun to drive and the awd is very good. The back seat is snug but we knew that already. The front door locks act up sometimes (won’t unlock for us when we use the remote occasionally) but this has apparently stopped happening in recent days. We’re pleased with the IS as it’s a good second car for the price.

At first I was a little reluctant of the year 2012 but it only had 50 thousand miles on it I got it from a friend so I know everything is legit I'll tell you this car is great it's not too big it's not too small it has good acceleration great handling excellent gas mileage it's really a good looking car I get excellent highway mileage 30 miles to the gallon even city is great at 2524 depending on how much I step on it.. you cannot go wrong getting this car if you have a chance to get one with 60,000 miles or less go for it you won't regret it the back seat is not that big but hey this is not a family car so deal with it. I love the fact that it's rear wheel drive and not front wheel drive that's a very rare attribute these days

Just bought the 2012 IS with Nav Package, Premium Package, rear spoiler. I love the Nebula Gray pearl and light gray leather. Traded in my Audi A4 and couldn't be happier. The Lexus dealer was so nice and accommodating (as i've always heard about Lexus dealers). My Audi had so many electrical issues and this Lexus is a dream to drive! You can't feel it shifting and it's so smooth on the highway. Build quality is top notch. My friend got rid of his BMW X3 for an RX350 the same day so we got a great deal!! LOVE Lexus.

Car shutters when moonroof retracted

Serious flaw in the moonroof when fully retracted. Car vibrates and shakes something awful. Usually happens when the car is traveling around 50 to 60 mph. Only way to stop this is to close moonroof halfway.
