If you want a car that has good resale stay far away from this model Lexus. The F sport IS300 AWD. We leased this vehicle just to try Lexus out for the first time and I’m glad we did. 2 years into lease and my wife is sick of this car for many reasons. Without getting into too many complaints we want out and cannot get out of this lease early. Can’t trade it or sell it because the buyout is $30k and it’s worth $20k. This car is pretty well built, and for most people I guess they’d be happy but if you’re looking for any performance go somewhere else. If you want this type of comfort, you can find it in a Toyota for cheaper and if your looking for small car performance go buy a Subaru for 10k less. Stay away unless you just gottta have a Lexus.

Leased mine last month and love it. Got the F Sport model and it rides like a dream. Interior is beautiful and get a ton of compliments on it

Me gusta su apariencia exterior,su interior tampoco es feo pero en el andar,transmisión y motorización para nada suave ni rápido además de que yo no sé la fama esa que le han dado a Toyota porque la verdad es que no me ha demostrado nada.

I have had the Car for 6 years & have had to do 0 work other then tires and standard oil changes. It is now at 85K running perfect. Tech is outdated for the year, but the F sport interior is beautiful. Performance is overall good. If buying one of these new, get the tire package. The low pro's pop easy on potholes, plus wear fast with the staggered stance.
