This is our second Lexus and I highly suggest buying new. We got a used Lexus and absolutely loved it until the engine went out and stopped cold. Now this new one is under warrantee and we hopefully will never have that problem again. It is very comfortable and runs very smooth. But as mentioned in other reviews, the mouse is very distractible . Otherwise, great little car.

One of my favorite cars ever. Fast and handles great. I did several road trips and the car was comfortable, avg 25 mpg when using eco mode. Great driving on hilly curvy roads. Small enough to zip around town and fits in tight parking spaces. Ventilated seats were ideal. The only option I didn’t have was remote start. Only con was having to use premium gas. I had offset tires so they couldn’t be rotated but it looked and drove so much better it was worth it.

Great car, stylish good on gas & a nice quiet ride, it has some nice pep to it as well. My only issue is it sits pretty low, but if you don't live in a snow state, that will not be an issue.

Sporty meets sexy

Sleek and sexy and of course reliable. This car makes driving exciting. Need to be careful to not get too crazy while taking tight turns and getting up to speed but it handles MARVELOUSLY. You can't go wrong and we're over the moon for this purchase. The price could've been higher for what we got. 5 stars!

I have a 2017 Lexus IS300 f sport and the brakes squeak loudly every morning until the brakes get warmed up. Forgot snowing days because you can hear my miles away because she just screams because of the high performance brakes supposedly.... I took her into my local Lexus dealership and they wouldn’t even look into they just said it’s normal in the f sports😡 I love Lexus I have had almost all of them I had a RX a GX and still own a GS but this f sport brakes drives me insane!!!
