Really Poor For Enthusiasts

I had the IS300 for over a year and a half, going from a 2013 WRX hatch to this pile was a night and day difference. Lexus looks for luxury in their vehicles not so much power, it has a 6 speed CVT transmission that will downshift at the most random times while driving. Power is not there at all, it's quite a let down honestly you would think that a 3.5L V6 would have some back to it, it doesn't. Fortunately it has a killer sound system and big wind screen for visibility, heated/ventilated seats. But you can also expect the power of the fans for heat and AC to be poor, even on the max setting you're gonna ask yourself if the air is even on. Don't bother seating anyone in the back seat, i'm 5 foot 7 and my head touches the headliner in the back seat. Trunk space is awesome and the exterior of the vehicle looks great as always but if you're looking for power and fun out of a car this ain't it, but for a comfy commute car this would be just fine.

Anyone have Wheel/Tire Issues?

We lease an AWD with the multispoke fancy aluminum wheels. The Mrs. cannot seem to avoid all the "potholes". Have spent a lot of money replacing the soft wheels which bend easily and low profile tires. Will not buy this car off the lease!

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.

It is an excellent small to mid-size car that performs like a larger car.
