Only 3,000 miles in but the navigation and Lexus Enform is terribly unreliable. I wasted money upgrading to this option. Seat cooling and heating has a mind of its own.

There are only a few nagging issues but in the big scheme of things, they may be minor to many. First, the car is very nimble, quick steering, brakes and acceleration. I could get better than 19.5 mpg but I drive it very fast and hard. A little hard to get in, but once in, very comfortable. But a car at this level should have memory seats! Very little storage in the large (on the outside) console. I did not order, or want, the navigation. One of the reasons I bought this model was the fold down rear seats, and most Lexus models do not and I did not want another SUV. It is a fun car that feels very solid and safe and would be close to perfect if these few areas were corrected.

About 6 months ago I purchased a used base 2018 Lexis IS 300 6-cyl. with about 32,000 miles on it. The car was in excellent condition, rattle and squeak free, beautiful dark blue paint, comfortable interior, fast downshift and acceleration upon mashing the accelerator, fairly good handling. Overall I like this car very much and it fulfilled my goal of a sedate car that does not tempt the driver to flog it mercilessly. (My previous car was a 2015 Focus ST which was a ton of fun to drive but I pushed it too much.) My major negative comment about this car is lack of road feel (as mentioned in Edmund's review), and additionally, lack of feedback about g-forces. I cannot bend this car into a turn at high speed because it gives no clue about change in g-force distribution and when to power out of the turn. It simply feels as if the suspension is trying its best to keep the car level. That reduces the fun factor to zero, and also means that the driver could lose control without warning if the limits of the tire's grip is exceeded. Not fun! As of this review the car has nearly 45,000 miles on the odo and still feels tight, comfortable and quiet.
