Has Been A Great Car Purchased New
By Ward C | on Tuesday, October 01, 2024
This has been a great car. I purchased it new about 6 years ago. Keep the oil changed, new tires, and one brake job. I have had 0 issues with it and am now at 111,000 miles. Lexus paint quality is great and this car is no exception. It is the bright blue color and still retains all of the original shine and luster.… - 5.0
IS350 F Sport AWD
By Gustavo H | on Wednesday, July 03, 2024
Get the IS350. Don’t compromise for anything less. The IS200-300 is too underpowered. The IS350 delivers a great balance of power, comfort, stability, and looks. I have the grey with red interior 350 f sport AWD. It’s a rare packaging. You don’t see too many 350s. It’s worth the extra cost. They also hold their value much better. It’s about 311 HP and 0-60 in 5.1-5.4 seconds. I get looks everywhere I go. It’s reliable and performance oriented. It’s the best of both worlds. Pros: Looks, performance, suspension, interior comfort and quality, reliability, suede headliner, responsive engine Cons: MPG, some interior parts are Toyotaish.(I know Lexus is Toyota. You get what I’m saying). Could have a little more power and handling in the 350.(Mostly to compete with the German rivals). Audio is good but could be better, could use more features.(I have the higher trim IS350 you can get and it’s still missing some stuff). A little tight inside. Overall is recommend the IS350 as the perfect balanced car for someone who wants luxury, performance and reliability. Saves you money and time from buying a German car.… - 4.0
Love this car, BUT
By Juan | on Saturday, November 30, 2019
I've had this car for about a year now. What I mostly love and enjoy about this car is its style, and overall "sexy" look. My car is all black, black rims, black leather interior, and black exterior. This is a fun car overall to own. What I dislike about the car is a few things. Firstly, I think the car lacks power. If I really want to feel power in this car, I'll have to drive it in Sports mode only. Also, it's not that good on gas. Lastly, I really dislike that the car has no storage. How does Lexus do this?! Not even a little compartment for your glasses? Come on Lexus, do better.…
