Used 2004 Lexus IS 300 SportCross Wagon RWD for Sale near Houston, TX

First of all I should point out that I have a passion for sport wagons. The sportcross handles great thanks to a great weight distribution and a front engine - rear wheel drive setup. The standard near racing low profile tires are incredible on dry tarmac but are out right scary in rainy weather or any other slick surface. Performance is my only problem with this car. Sure it can do 0-60 in under 7 seconds if you have a manual and you change gears like a maniac but in reality Toyota should have shoved the Twin Turbo from the Supra into the IS. However a cold air intake and maybe an after market Turbo and the IS could stand head to head with the same year M3s. Also that extra boast will justify quite a bad fuel economy, it gets from 12 to 16 mpg in heavy stop and go traffic with the occasional Boxter and Mustang lights race and up to 32 mpg with good 65-75 mph cruise. It is suppose to take only premium gas but you can throw Reg or Mid grade once in a while if that is much cheaper, but don't make it a habit.

very capable car, not really big enough to be called a wagon, good power, many features

nice, sporty, solid built, macho
