2010 Lexus IS User Reviews

Pros

well everything is spot on, had a 2006 and now a 2009.

Cons

no awd withe bigger engine... we need it in the snowbelt

Purchased As New

I love this car.... I have a BMW 325xi as well, and this is one of my favorite cars around. It can get into trouble if you are not careful... smooth power or just explosive when you need it... love to light the orange dials around the speedo and tach... but its a pig on ice/snow. But to give it some credit it is much better than the pervious IS300 on those surfaces... I had 2 of those models..01 & 04 IS 300... both great except in winter.... buy one new or used it will leave you smiling......read morehide

Pros

Smooth, quiet and economical

Cons

Ride can be choppy

Purchased As New

It's a well executed ride with a nice balance of performance and economy. On the initial drive home with a mix of city, freeway and mountain driving I got 29.2 mpg. The handling on mountain roads is excellent, although the steering has a slightly "artificial" feeling compared to my Jaguar S type. It has a wonderful array of features and gadgets, such as the bluetooth interface that are quite useful.
The interior appearance is very nice; the exterior is just average....read morehide

My IS 250 has a great ride. I have now 52,000 + miles. 25 mpg over all. I have never used anything but 87 octane and the engine runs extremely smooth. Tires last only 17000 miles. On the third set I had them replaced for free as the life expectancy on the tires was 80000 miles. The car looks great and get lots of compliments. Wheel paint bubbles. Front bakes lasted 50000 miles. Rear still going strong. Regular maintanance every 5000 miles. (Oil and filter) . The AWD is great and well used winters on rural roads where I live. I would buy another when the model changes....read morehide

Pros

Beautiful and reliable

Cons

not a great fit for a tall driver/passenger tight cabin low roof

Purchased As Used

Wish I had brought my 6'3" husband to test drive the car also! He has to recline the seat to sit. It has excellent braking system and tight steering...a real sports car to drive..very responsive to your touch. After driving a Camry for 13 years it took a bit of an adjustment to the tightness of the whole drive. LOVE IT!...read morehide

Pros

love the performance and style great gas milage very fast

Cons

no space in back seat

Purchased As Used

over all i love the handling and great excelleration. the back seat doesn't have any room for big or tall people. any one who buy this car shouldn't expect lot of room. If you do you will be very disappointed. need to buy the LS460. The IS350 is design for sport driving and great execelleration. over all the ride is very smooth with great gas millage. This is a luxury sport car remember that. You get the best of both world luxury and sport car performance all in one car. you will not be disappointed in buying this car. done lot of research for months before deciding to buy the IS350. Own BMW very good car, but not as smooth as the lexus is350. Look into G37, but 2 doors insurance would be much higher not worth the expense plus the Lexus quality is much better base on the fact this is my 4 Lexus car I owned in 20 years. hope this help make your decision a lot easier. you will enjoy this beautiful car like me have fun....read morehide

Pros

Beautiful car anywhere you look, great fuel economy for a V6, very satifying to drive

Cons

Premium fuel requirement and too much brake dust mess on the front wheels

Purchased As New

Very good fuel economy for a V6, gets about 21 city and 30 highway. I would say 27 mpg combined. Very comfortable cruiser, great seat. Stable at high speed. I love everything about the car. Paddle shift is a great addition and it comes standard when you get the auto transmision. For the Audiophiles, Oh, you'll love the basic 13 speaker that comes standard with 6 disc changer that comes with it. Really great sound system....read morehide
