The Lexus IS350 offers the best of quality and performance. It is fast, stylish, comfortable and it is, above all else, a Lexus. No squeaks, creaks or rattles. You'll find other reviews that pan the IS350 in favor of BMW 3-series handling. That may be true, but I drive my IS on the interstate and around town, not on the track. I want creature comforts and quality craftsmanship in addition to performance. So while BMW aficionados may have the "handling" argument won, everything else falls in favor of the Lexus.

I love driving the car because of its speed. I have the navigation which i find myself using a lot more then what i thought I would. The driving experience is far more exciting than I could ever imagine.
Great Car at a Great Price

I've had this car since it came out & am very impressed over the last 3 yrs. The car rides nice with smooth acceleration. There is a lot of power on tap when you need it. MPG range from high teens to low 30s depending on driving habits, I am getting 25 mpg overall. One drawback is small rear seat. You can fit 4 adults for short distances, or small kids out of car seats. The trunk opening is small but, you could fit 3 sets of clubs in the car with some ingenuity. The seats are very comfortable & the leather holds up well with maintenance. If you have the optional 18 inch wheels they can not be rotated because they are staggered. The stock tires lasted 30k miles for me, rated at 15k.
Will be my last Lexus sadly

Aside from being reliable and a great everyday car, Lexus has let me down here. I've owned 2 other Lexus " IS200T and RX350" that didn't give me any issues, not until I bought a 2006 Lexus IS350. I bought it USED. However, it's been fairly reliable. The only downside I've experienced was Lexus's Warranty. If you aren't aware, Lexus has a defect with "sticky" dashboards and door panels melting. Unfortunately I was one of the effected owners. It makes it hard to drive my IS350 without being blinded by the glare of the dashboard, it becomes a safety hazard if you ask me. Unfortunately I've already Contacted Lexus regarding the issues that I was having, GUESS WHAT NO LUCK. The best they can do is reimburse me for a dashboard cover. REALLY?! although it'll solve somewhat the issue, but its unbearable to look at! They couldn't do anything with my door panels, they quoted $800 per door. It hurts me personally when I have passengers in my car seeing that my doors are scratched, rips, discolored, and sticky. THAT IS NOT "pursuit of perfection" as Lexus Claims. After owning 3 Lexus vehicles, this is going to be my last. Sadly I wouldn't want to leave such a great car company. DONT GET ME WRONG, THE CAR IS SUPER RELIABLE, But with this type of issues "safety hazard" "quality defect" and constant back and forth with Lexus Customer Service, I gave up on the brand!

I bought my car around May 2006 with the sports package, nav, ML, vented seats, etc. Since my purchase, the car has been perfect with no mechanical issues. Love the car.
