Great car, stylish, good value, sporty, and gorgeous to look at. I love the safety and security features. Remote start and speed settings in the app are great features. Missing- GPS tracking in real-time would be great like Tesla vehicles.

This really has a sporty feel. The AWD, 3.5 Liter V6 is definitely the way to go on this vehicle. The Apple Car Play is incredible and makes the GPS option unnecessary. The gauge cluster looks modern and easy to use. The 360 degree cameras are also a great option. The exterior look of this car is beautiful. I have the matador red which is metallic red with the black 19” wheel rims. Very stylish. A very nice riding car.

Reviewed a 2021 Lexus IS on Apr 21, 2023
Im a bit partial because mine has every option available. The premium sound package is worth every penny. I hear its bad on gas. I have the AWD V6 which is plenty fast, so I drive it in eco full time. I get 100 miles on 15 dollars of gas @ 3.30 a gallon. Thats bad? Brakes in this car are amazing. They work along with the computer downshifting on hills perfectly. Anyone who has driven a standard before will notice it too. Its just great stock ecu tuning. Not to mention the brakes act in unison with the AWD. The car does not move in the snow (in a good way). Meaning there is no slipping, sliding or the car trying to get traction. It just goes. Also, thanks to the amazing braking system, there is also no real type of sliding when slowing down or stopping. I live in New England, so my car has seen weather of all types. Bad weather is a non factor. With all that being said, I also have snow tires. Which doesnt hurt and helps tremendously. Fun fact, the snow mode also works great during heavy rain.. just a fyi. Lets see. Its quiet, comfortable and the touch screen is perfect. The body lines are also spot on. There is ZERO wind noise. It looks like it spent a lot of time wind tunnel tested. I personally love the lines of the car and the daytime running lights are the best.. hands down. The back Robocop style taillight has been copied by many. The subtle red on the leds nail it. Not to mention the subtilties of just light things. A lot of attention to detail. Lexus listened to its consumers and said we hear you and well work on that. Which, honestly, you have to appreciate. Great car.. Thank you Lexus.
