Beats a beemer off the line
I have had the vehicle for almost three years. My only complaint was the quality of the tires. My car came with Bridgestone Protenza tires. They lasted about 18,000 miles. The road noise was very bad, after about 15,000. I replaced them with Goodyear Eagle F1. Great tire at a good price. I received 3 minor recalls, last week. I took care of them the next day. Aside from that, the car has had no major repairs.
Best value for the money
Owned the car for about 6 months. Very pleased. I have no buyers remorse and the power and options are just right. I am able to pass without overkill 400+hp range and get 350 miles per tank (premium fuel though). I have to comment on the Lexus customer service as it is top notch. I got a loaner Lexus when they fixed the recalls and their follow- up has been a pleasant surprise.

Awesome Used Car Value
I bought this car with 37k miles, CPO, for $25k. For this I got a luxury badge, 306 HP, rear-wheel drive, a class-leading interior, concierge service, free loaner Lexus, brand-new Goodyear F1's, brand-new floor mats, 3 years of bumper-to-bumper warranty with no deductible, and a beautiful, high-performance vehicle from the most reliable brand in America. Nothing else I tested came close to this level of value.
Downsized
Recently bought the IS 350 and sold my Audi A8 as it had 128,000 miles. It was a big change, but each day I like the car more as I learn more about it and drive it more. To me it seems like a luxury go cart! It is very responsive both in steering and acceleration. The front seats are surprisingly comfortable for such a small car and the back seats are very well thought out except for the leg room is a little shy if you are over 6 ft and the front seat is all the way back. I like the no key entry and start feature and the nav system which I am trying to learn. Also like the manual automatic shift feature. Not much to dislike so far. Probably will keep the car for quite a while.
IS Fever
It is a beautiful car, inside and out. Great acceleration and sticks to the road like glue. The paddle shifters are a constant temptation, the keyless feature is outstanding and the auxiliary input for the iPod makes the ride a whole more fun.
