Used 2002 Lexus IS 300 Sedan Consumer Reviews
I like it more today than when I bought
I love this car! This car doesn't get the respect it deserves from auto journalists - it's like they didn't want to belive Lexus could build such a great sports sedan on its first try. I have several 3-series in my family and this car is more communicative and fun to drive than any of them (even the 330i w/sport package). When you compare this to the 325i (same price), I can't give the nod to BMW in any area other than maybe the dash design.
This car RULES
I've owned my 5-speed for almost a year (minus a month and a half for some repairs ;)), and I can easily say it's the most fun-to-drive car I've ever driven. The car handles superbly; I love the way it hugs the road in a turn, the squeel of the tires as I round a bank, the roar as I downshift to pass someone who shouldn't have been in the fast lane. The VVT-i engine is really noticeable in a launch (push that TRAC button to see what I mean).

Great car all around
Definitely an excellent car. Fun, quite fast. Handling is crisp and predictable; ride is smooth. Much better car than competition in the same class. The only thing it could use is a little bit more power.
Awesome
Awesome car, well worth the money, very sleek but fun, just amazing car inside and out!
Overall
Fun to drive. Quiet interior. Beautiful exterior. Nice exhaust note. Excellent stereo. Solid riding. Rear drive!
