Replace Tires every 10k miles!
Purchased this vehicle after owning a 2006 250 IS. I absolutely LOVED the first model and was saddened to surrender it for this vehicle. Not a bad car but the dealership didn't disclose there is a suspension defect that causes the rear tires to have significant premature wear. What was worse was they blamed ME for overinflating. It's 2022 and let's face it, no one takes responsibility anymore for anything! They should feel blessed I ran over a nail that deflated the tire resulting in a service call. I owned this pre-owned car for a year, put 8k miles on it and the tires went from a '7' tread to a '2'. These Michelen Tires are guaranteed for 35k miles and I got 8k! I will never do business with this Lexus dealership again. They care more about making a buck than they do about the safety of a passenger and telling the trut about a vehicle
f-sport RWD looks sportier that it is
I had the car for 1 year and bought it used with only 10K miles on it. The car handles great and the performance is fine for the most part. It certainly leaves you asking for more which makes you wonder why you didn't get the 350. The interiors are the best I've experienced in its category, pretty cool actually. The paint in this car is my biggest set back. The front bumper started pealing with every small pebble that hits it which was super annoying taking into account my other cars were older and didn't peal at all in the same roads. The car overall is good but not great. I was expecting much more for my money. If you want to get the f-sport, don't waste you time on a 250, go straight to the 350 and you'll thank me later. It's just not worth to know you paid for half a car.

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

Dashboard Rattles
I purchased my 2014 IS250-Fsport after checking out other entry-level luxury sedans. My first impression was great! I love the style of both the exterior and interior. I'm content with the performance (love the sport mode) and braking is phenomenal. My issue has been a rattling sound on the driver side that comes from somewhere within the dashboard. The dealership has attempted to find the source of the rattle 4 times to no avail. It sounds as if I have plastic CD cases in the door pocket that rattle constantly. Not even turning up the radio can mask the sound. And to make matters worse, its starting to happen on the passenger side as well. I thought Lexus was known for its smooth, quiet ride. I guess I was wrong. This is my first Lexus and it will also be my last.
