My first 4-door, and easily my largest car.  I loved the
styling and stance the first time I saw the car.  Bought
it a few years after introduced.  Have been enjoying
the car, except for the Premium gasoline requirement.  
Performance is great, and as a Toyota product,
reliability is naturally high.  

Pros — Styling, Performance, Reliability
Cons — Premium gasoline requirement

well for one thing: it's fast. very quiet, stops on a dime, handles beautifully, many safety and anti-theft features. I've only had one problem with it so far and that was a rear main seal leak. After getting that fixed, I drove it from FL to NC and back without a problem.

Pros — sunroof and the suede & leather seats are a huge plus.. the car is perfect as it is, theres not a thing I need to add or change!
Cons — 19-25 mpg and its not an SUV, so when we have another hurricane, i wont be able to go navigate the streets :(

Something like what I said above. Car is underpowered for its price
range, but quiet and solidly built. No squeaky plastic or interior noises
here...

Pros — Quiet, decent gas mileage, very comfortable ride
Cons — Under-powered, terrible body roll, 215/45 series tires on stock rims,
relatively heavy.

The plan was that when I got older and was ready for a sophisticated car that this would be that car.  Now that I have it already I am hopeing to keep it in great condition and bring it up to my personal vehicle standards.  This car will be the first car I plan on buying nice rims for.
Favorite Mod: AEM Intake (so far)

Pros — Classy
Cons — Heavy

I wasn't a fan of Lexus until I've started looking for one to buy. I spent 1
month looking for the perfect IS300 that I've wanted as a Daily Driver.
Truthfully, I did come across a few unpleasant ones that just could not
be my perfect IS300, so I chose to wait for the perfect opportunity....
and there she was. Overall, I think I've got what I've paid for--every goddamn
penny, too!

Pros — -5 speed
-Fast enough
-Relatively new
-Cheap enough for me to buy
-Insurance rate is low
Cons — -Semi-leather seats ftl
-It is an used car
-Gas mileage is ehhh...

I love the handling and the directness of the power. The throtle response is outstanding in "Manual" mode, it is as responsive as a stick shift. It hugs turns for days and i have not been able to get it to break traction while going through the canyons.

Pros — inspiring handling, comfortable for the front seats, not bad on gas. Good looking cluster
Cons — small
