excellent performance, great response, stable mauvering, fantastic sound system and great AC.
fairly solid build has not experienced any rattles during the period I drove it.
Elegant interior and exterior, mine was black exterior color and beige leather interior.

The 2005 Lexus IS300 built by Toyota is a great mid-sized sport sedan. It is dependable, reliable, has excellent performance all at a mid-range price. One of the best cars on the market in the price range. Great features like the e-shift and the optional built-in dash GPS unit make this one a really fun car to drive around. May 14, 2009

Performance - 3.0L 2jz should outperform the BMW 330i, but barely beats the BMW 325i. Disappointing NA power, but a good Boosting platform. Braking feels good, and handling is quite good with coil-overs, however chassis could be a little stiffer.
Build Quality - only repairs needed were windshield wipers, which are normal wear and tear. only squeaks are probably from aftermarket suspension
Appearance - very bland exterior and interior, however exterior is a great platform for modifications.
Cost of Ownership - bad mileage for its weight and motor, but maintenance is cheap because nothing ever breaks
Fun Factor - handles decent, is fun to drive, but needs more power!Jul 09, 2008

Is300 Lexus auto transmission maintenance
I just flipped over 100,000 miles in my iS300. I have never touched my transmission that is an automatic for maintenance . I've heard a lot of bad stories about doing tranny maintenance and having the transmission going out after it's been flushed or fluid change . Has anybody done maintenance to their transmission kind of in my situation .??
