First sedan ever purchased! Pretty satisfied!

After owning a long line of coupes and two-doors, this was the first sedan I've ever purchased and I'd say I made the right decision. I bought this used for a price I just couldn't pass up as mine is has the F-Sport package and that alone makes it well worth it. Since it is an F-Sport, it handles superbly well on sharp turns and even some slopes. This allows for a healthy blend of city and highway driving, both of which I do daily. At a combined 25 MPG that I get, the mileage isn't terrible but not anything to write home about either. The exterior looks are my favorite part of the car. Every angle looks sharp, sleek, and stands out even among other top-end luxury sedans. Only cons I can speak of are the slowish acceleration and some slight deterioration of some interior plastics. But overall, this has been a reliable, fun, and comfy ride for myself and family. I plan on keeping this for many more years and feel comfortable purchasing a Lexus in the future.

I recently purchased a 2014 Lexus IS 250 F-Sport and the car really exceeds my expectations. Great look to the car, the interior is awesome and comfortable and it's definitely a looker! I turn heads all the time. I previously had an Infiniti and got tired of them. I looked at the new BMW 3 series but there wasn't anything special about this vehicle until you spend $55K. Definitely check out the Lexus IS when you are out car shopping.

Reliably Boring

If you want a car that is beautifully designed, reliable and carries the cache of the Lexus name, this one is for you. However, if you want the driving dynamics of a BMW, the Lexus IS 250 will disappoint. Not a sports car but not a luxury Lexus - something in between.

I felt like I paid a lot for this used Lexus certified 3 year old vehicle. 5 years later it is still problem free and the internals that I see almost look brand new. It’s a true pleasure to own and drive. I never question its reliability and it’s quietness inside. Glad I own it!

Beautiful exterior but lackluster engine power, thin paint that easily chips, clunky brake noises on the f-sport.
