Great car. Handles well, very comfortable, awesome technology, high quality materials. Maintenance is too high and the warranty should be no less than 100,000 bumper to bumper.

I would buy it again!

Bought a 2015 IS 250 F-Sport. The F doesn't offer much for added performance but it does look and feel better than the base model. The best thing about this car? RELIABILITY! No issues whatsoever to speak of. Maintain the basic tires, oil, filters and you're set. Acceleration is surprisingly swift for only having 204 hp. Sport mode revs higher for added acceleration. The handling with AWD is very solid. The F Sport bucket seats are so comfortable and I love the benefits of having heated/cooled seats and heated steering wheel for the cold winter days. Overall, very positive feedback for Safety, Reliability, Value, Interior and Comfort. My biggest gripe is the dated Technology. Unfortunately, Lexus has always been way behind standards on their Tech. The "mouse" on screen operation is sloppy and dated.

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!

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.

Love this ride! 2014 IS250 F-Sport

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.
