Lexus IS 2009Change

Luxury Car, great conform, very smooth ride. 204 Hp, delivers a great sport feeling.

Interior is great as well the bright bej interior gives feeling of a large space.

This Lexus is250 is the finest balance, between comfort/luxury ride,
fuel economy and performance. For looks, it has all the right looks, with black exterior,
and tinted windows, and 18" OEM alloy tires. Love it.

A good all round smal sport sedan except the engine power is not near a rocket but still accepable.
The car has an excellent maintenance record, very good gas mileage witht an sharp exterior style.
The interior is very nice upscale car called for but may not have engough space for a 300 lb football player.
Tge car performs very well in corning, stopping, braking but a bit soft in pick up in caomparison to a BMW 3 series but is still good.

I had the IS AWD, truffle exterior with tan leather interior. The ride is always smooth and enjoyable. Although it feels like a luxury vehicle because of the name, but the ride is very sporty and sleek.

Exterior styling could use some more aggressiveness but otherwise it has a good blend of sport and luxury. Back seats are cramped but rarely used in my case. Front seats could benefit from more support but the newer F-sport models fix that. Ride of the vehicle is a great combination between luxury and sport (although I have the sport model). If you want an even sportier ride the are F-sport add-ons that can be purchased.

The secret gem of this vehicle is power and an incredibly close ratio gearbox. Power off the line for the first 3 gears pushes you back in the seat and will surprise those in much higher performance cars. After you've reached highway speeds the remaining of the 6 speed gear box come into play and provide surprising fuel economy.

Driven the vehicle for over 100,000KM's and not a single problem yet. Perhaps being dealer maintained has helped in this but I couldn't be happier with everything the car has to offer.

The present-generation IS 350 was introduced for the 2006 model year. These earlier cars are pretty much the same as the current model, though there have been a few changes along the way. For 2009, Lexus restyled the grille, retuned the suspension and added a two-tone interior option. For 2010, there were a number of technology upgrades including a new iPod interface, enhanced Bluetooth and a hard-drive-based navigation system (compared to the earlier DVD-based unit). Notably, all 2006-'10 IS 350s were only offered with rear-wheel drive.
