Buying a Lexus IS 500 in New York New York
Navigating the bustling streets of New York City can be a challenge, and while the Lexus IS 500 offers a powerful V8 engine and sports car-like performance, its larger dimensions may make maneuvering in tight spaces less than ideal. However, for those who appreciate a luxurious driving experience, the IS 500 provides a compelling option. Its refined suspension and comfortable seating create an enjoyable ride, whether you're cruising along the West Side Highway or heading to a Broadway show. The smooth, engaging sound of the engine adds an extra layer of enjoyment to city driving and can turn mundane commutes into memorable journeys.

2023 Lexus IS 500
I purchased my Lexus IS 500 in September, 2023 having reviewed all available YouTube tests, Car and Driver reviews etc, so I was familiar with all of the rants/criticisms. This was my first encounter with Lexus.I purchased the prepaid and extended warranty (40% off the cost of an AMG, my former car) and a nice set of P ZERO winter tires.
There is an abundance of reviews on the IS 500 … now so most buyers should be familiar with the pros/cons.
My take: Cons
*No electric folding mirrors which should have been included back in 2014 for IS models
*No ability to raise or lower windows & open sunroof with the key from outside which is a nice feature on hot days
*Tires should be 245 Front/275 Rear. This is an easy fix when the sub standard Bridgestones are worn
* no wireless ( I don't care)
Pros
* love the hard button controls
* Apple car play
* touchscreen new for 2023
* highway mileage is surprisingly good for a V8 if you keep in prolonged Eco mode
*great seats
* service cost a fraction of Audi/BMW/MB
*spare tire
*nice dash cam
* nice paint quality
* steering weight is actually adjustable for sport ( journalists would not know this likely)
*best looking four door period
* engine/engine/engine>>>>!
Could not be happier, now is a good time to buy as I got mine below sticker. This one will be a keeper.
