The most powerful vehicle ever produced by Toyota/Lexus and it has hit its targets dead on. It is 2nd to the Mercedes C63 on a straight away. It is 2nd to the BMW M3 on a full track. It beats the Audi RS4 on both straight away and full track. It has the best rating on gas consumption (as well as no gas guzzler tax). More importantly, it is the most reliable and has the highest build quality out of all its competitors. The 2008 Lexus IS-F is the overall best performer in its class. I myself own a Starfire Pearl IS-F down in Houston, TX. I am a 100% satisfied customer. :)

AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE

I ordered this car in 2007 from Northside Lexus in Houston, and waited 13 months for delivery. Once I actually drove it, I totally forgot about the long wait. The car was very quick and solid, and has been a weekend driver for me for the past 12 years. During this 12 year period I've only had one problem with the car, the door panels and dash became sticky and discolored. The Dealer advised me that Lexus would replace them for free--after 12 years??? They took some pictures, ordered the new door panels and dash, and replaced them for free. What car company does that?? I now have a car that looks like new again with 19,000 miles and I'll probably have it 12 years from now. Thank you Lexus.

M3 and C63

I had 2 M3s and 1 C55 and I did test drive all new M3, C63, and IS-F. I bought this car b/c never had super sedan from Toyota (also I had modified supra). Advantage - ownership cost cheaper, better reliability, better fuel economy than M3 and C63. Disadvantage - resale value lower than M3 (not C63) even though "exclusive IS-F", M3 and C63 are more fun to drive, better build quality, and better handling than IS-F. No manual trans vs. M3 (not C63), slower than M3 and C63 (not much diff. but still)
