Test drove MB C350, Caddy CTS, Infiniti G37, M35X, Jag XF. All great cars however for me the IS 350 had the most bang for the buck. It is very fast, (5.1 secs 0-60), handling and quality are awesome and Smokey Granite Mica paint with light gray interior is absolutely gorgeous IMO. The ride is a little harsher as the suspension was returned for 2009, however the handling makes up for it and is never too harsh. AND I’ve been averaging 25 MPG about 50/50% city/hwy driving. My Infiniti G35C only Avg 21 MPG... I made the right decision, a lot of car for the money!

I came from driving a highly modified Toyota MR2 turbo. I miss the stick, but the smooth powerful acceleration more than makes up for it. The car is quiet, sometimes too quiet and the ride is firm, but smooth. I have around 2000 miles on so far and enjoy every mile of driving this car. I feel so grown up driving this car too!

I love this car! It's so much fun, I love the power! I had a 2002 Celica GT before this, with like 140 HP and now I have 309 HP and omg, it's awesome! My Celica was a manual and unfortunately the IS 350 only comes in automatic, which I don't like at all, but the paddle shifter's are ok. I'd still prefer a manual though. The interior of the car is was sold me! I love everything about it! The outside could be more aggressive, but they make body kit's now, so that's what I'm getting. Overall the car is so awesome... so much fun!!

The car is Lexus, what else needs to be said. While people complain about the car being too tame, it's no more than an excuse because all the vehicle control systems can be disabled easily with the press of a button. Once that's done, the car is fun as Hell! People who know quality know Lexus is top notch. To love a car is to love the detail, and detail is one thing Lexus pays attention to in every car.

BEWARE: squeaks and rattles!!

My IS 350 has been in shop 6 times (21 days) for 8 squeaks and rattles in the 2 months of ownership! I've never owned a car with so many issues regarding squeaks and rattles. I very disappointed with my IS at this time. What happen to the Lexus quality from 10 years ago? My last Lexus never had such issues as this car does.
