Proseverything Consno stick shift on 350

Lexus Is 350 Is Sweet — Performance - quick pickup, smooth, no jerks when shifting, paddle shifting works very quick. Build Quality -- no repairs yet, sensors on brake went haywire once. Appearance -- really sexy in and out Cost - 22 mpg, maintenance cost is just an oil change every 5K miles Fun Factor - one of the best cars i have driven.

ProsA perfect daily driver that has power but costs a bit more in maintenance. ConsMy 20 in rims. My fault though!

A Perfect Daily Driver — More than enough power to deal with everyday situations. As it is with Lexus, the build quality is exceptional. Scores high on fun factor due to its power and handling. Massive brakes and sticky brake compound provides for a very good 60 to 0 braking distance. Do not buy this car if you are too conscious on maintenance cost though. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Great Value. — Best car I have ever driven. Power to spare. Good highway mileage. Actual experience--25mpg. Good looking (like a trophy wife). Extremely quiet ride. Fun, fun, fun. This car is the best value I have ever owned. You will enjoy it too. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

ProsCommuter, plain and simple, Japan's 3 series. ConsIn some area codes you might as well be invisible

Like Japanese Cars? Don't Want A German Sedan? Pencil Pusher? Have A Slight Commute? Buy This. — Performance- Feel the weight, not as nimble as the IS300. Quiet engine, road/wind noise are at a minimum, Traction Control gets in the way of everything fun. "Sports Mode'' is rather pathetic and slurps up gas. Gear shifts can be sudden and unwilling to down shift at times. Can be passed by Deutsch cars in a heartbeat. Build- It's a Lexus..need say more? Appearance- What used to be a semi uncommon car has been bought by the everyday suburban family for mom or, nothing shocking or vibrant. Never draws eyes. Sleeper quality to it. Cost- Again, Lexus, it's going to be pricey. Fun Factor- Have to be quite heavy on the right pedal and flappy paddles to really liven it up. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

ProsRide, comfort, fit and finish are great. I love that nobody expect it to be fast ConsHonestly the only thing i can say is that i wish there were some visual difference between the 250 and the 350

Worth A Look — The most under-rated car in its class. I have 50,000 miles on mine and I do not have a single complaint so far. Its not as if i drive like an old lady eighther, I have taken it to Deals Gap a few times and it is brilliant as most sports cars with the advantage of being great to frive home in the next day. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

ProsStyling, handling, performance, Levinson sound ConsNeeds pass-thru back seat, larger trunk.

Legendary Reliability Combined With Power And Style — I had test drove many similar cars before buying. I kept coming back to this one. It was the best combination of looks, performance, and smile factor of any I tried. Consistent 28 MPG highway, yet real pull at 60 mph. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Prosoutstanding combination of performance, mileage (23 average), styling and service. Consif you're looking for a super compliant ride, this is not it.

Great Road Car. — Performance is hot. I love the styling. Needed squeak in dash repaired - they replaced the entire dash unit under warranty all because I complained of a squeak going 45 MPH at 55 degrees outside on rough roads. No questions asked. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

Overall Awesome Ride. — Very nice car. Fast, sexy ass ride. A little small inside so its perfect for 2 people, but not recommended for a road trip. Gas milage is decent but overall its great. This is what lexus should be shooting for and they are continuing to in the near future. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

ProsNavigation system, acceleration, appearance, fun to drive Conssqueaks
25
Is 350 — acceleration 0-60 in 5.4 second, it's a really fun to drive car. The gas mileage is not bad, the worst i got 14mpg in city and 18 in highway. I love the appearance, especially the exterior. I have the car for about 2 years and it starts to squeaks. Love the option in my car too; luxury package: navigation, rear sun shade, seat memory, mark levinson sound system...sadly, minus the parking sensor...;( | ||
