Awesome Ride
Have had my IS 350 for about 4,200 miles and it's awesome! Love the interior & feel of materials. This is the definition of a luxury sports car. The exterior design is nice but would like to see a little more sport & a little less sedan. The ride quality is great, except my car has an apparently unfixable small pull to the right. Nav system is great but almost has too many features. I don't need the rear camera, but it sure is nice. Performance is great, extremely quick w/out knowing it. But the traction control & stability control jump in a little too quick with no way to turn them off. Paddle shifter is fun, but not quite as responsive as I was hoping for. Overall an awesome car.
Not sure how much better it can get
Overall, the car is exceptional. It is expensive, 44K for the one I got fully optioned. I had a 2005 TL before this and there is no comparison between the two. I can get 32 miles a gallon in the freeway, with 306HP, and still 20 with mostly city driving. It is fast and the handling is superior to any other stock Japanese car. It is by no means as fast or handle as well as a M3, but nonetheless I never expected it to. All the features are fist class. The only problem I got with the car is the price, and the size, backseats aren't quite big enough for comfort. You can almost get a GS430 fully optioned for like 5-7K more ??? In a couple of months Lexus will start steeper discount on the IS...

Upscale Sports Sedan
The most powerful entry level luxury sedan today. Beautiful exterior, with a comfortable and high quality interior that seems just right. This is truly an awesome small car package, yet still handles 3 sets of golf clubs in the trunk and fits two 6 footers in the back seat.
Lexus IS 350
Great car, fast, handles nicely, looks sharp, gets good gas mileage for a 6-cyl 300 hp (suburban driving, no highway, I am averaging 22.5 mpg). Not sure how it will handle in snow & ice, but car feels very balanced, so maybe with snows it will be ok. Barely enough head and leg room for 6 footer.
Best Lexus Yet
We have owned an ES, GS, and GX models. This IS 350 is the best of all of them. Beautiful and fast. If you are buying one, spring for the Luxury Package and chrome the 18" wheels. It elevates this sport sedan to an unbelievable level of completeness. There is nothing that I am dissatisfied with this car. A real Lexus winner for 2006.
