Summary
With 443 currently listed for sale and an average price of $22,988.00, 34.3% of 2018 Lexus IS models for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2018 Lexus IS 4.29 / 5 stars.

Why it stands out
The 2018 Lexus IS stands out as a compact luxury sedan that blends sporty character with a strong list of standard equipment. It sits in Lexus’s lineup as the entry-level model and has long been aimed at buyers who want a fun-to-drive sedan with relatively low pricing and compact proportions. For this model year, the IS also benefits from the broader third-generation updates that gave the sedan a more distinctive design, better interior space, and a revamped infotainment system.
What makes the 2018 model especially appealing is the mix of performance and technology available in the lineup. The third-generation IS offered rear-wheel drive as standard, with all-wheel drive available on non-F sedans, and the available Lexus Safety System+ brought forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control. The model also had standard luxury features such as passive entry, push-button start, a 10-way power adjustable driver’s seat, a power moonroof, a 13-speaker premium audio system, built-in telematics, and hill-start assist. Buyers looking for a more engaging setup could also find firmer suspension tuning in F Sport models.
At the same time, the 2018 Lexus IS is not without compromises. The back seat is really tight, and the car is less suited to families than to young professionals or drivers who rarely carry passengers. Cargo space is also limited, and fuel economy is a weak point. Even so, the 2018 IS remains distinctive for shoppers who want a compact luxury sedan with a sporty feel, a polished cabin, and a reputation for being easy to live with.

It’s a joy driving the IS 300, it’s is nice and compact, it gets in and out of turns easily.. It has plenty of power with the dual turbo engine and sport mode on top for an extra boost. Plenty of safety features, with road assistance and blind spot sensors. The Lexus IS 300 like any Lexus IS is Stylish and looks Sleek. We love it.

Listen the is300 is a nice car. Only knock on it is the navigation... since its the base model the navigation feels like something back from 2010.

It was a great value until I looked at at the touch up paint on the front and back bumper. Didnt notice in the showroom where it was parked. The car is white pearl and it was touched up with plain white paint. I will take it to get it touched up at a Lexus dealer that does better work. The detailing was not professional.
