2009 Lexus IS

Trim: IS 350 sport

Hidden Gem of Sport, Performance and Luxury
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.
