PARTY LIKE A ROCK STAR

by David Hughes from Los Angeles CA (9/25/08)
Pros:Hottest Lexus Ride out Yes better than the 600H... The sound and Speed better than M3
Cons:Bumpy ride But hey its a sports car cant have it all.

This is by far the best Lexus ever made... From the inside out the car is outstanding. I have a fully feat IS F.. I upgraded from a Fully feat IS 350 Lux package.... I will say one thing I get alot of looks the IS 250/350 are becoming a Dime a Dozen.. like the BMW's.. The IS F is one of those cars that has excusive feel.... Enjoying it now because soon others will have one..

"If you have the means...it is so choice!"

by Richard Dawkins from Los Angeles (9/03/08)
Pros:Handeling. Nice acelleration. Engine sound. Brakes. Paint.
Cons:Stereo features. Satelite/IPOD interface NOT included.

Ok, I up-graded from an 08 G37 coupe to the new ISF. The G37 was an excellent car with the best interior "gadgets" I've ever used. So far, no regrets. To my surprise, the ISF clearly out handels the G. The acelleration is better than the 330 G, but NOT back breakingly better. The engine sound is terrific and you will love it. The seats are excellent and provide terrific support. Over-all I am very pleased. If you are considering buying this car - you won't regret it!

Performance, Better technology, Reliability, Value

by Ferdi L. from Los angeles, CA (8/26/08)
Pros:Acceleration, Sport Sound, Super nice stunning Ultrasonic Blue exterior
Cons:You feel the road including the bumps. Would have been perfect with additional 2-3 inches r legroom

Wanting to buy the M3, but bought the stunning Ultrasonic Blue exterior and 2 tone black/white interior ISF. This car is superfast and super comfortable. The gurgling sound on acceleration is fantastic. If performance, better technology ( Navi, backup camera, Blue tooth) plus reliability, value and excellent customer service are your priorities, then this is the car for you.

The ultimate

by Trick22 from DFW, TX (8/17/08)
Pros:Great features, nice look, amazing vehicle!
Cons:Haven't come across one yet.

I only have 580 miles on it, but this car is absolutely fantastic. I test drove an M3 and had a deposit on a C63 AMG, but this car won out. It is a great daily driver with plenty of speed and appeal. It's great to have a car that you won't run into everyday! Lexus quality and reliability with the speed and track presence of an M3 or a C63. You won't go wrong with this car.

Best FR Sport Sedan in the World.

by Skidkozo from Tokyo-Drift (7/21/08)
Pros:One of the best FR sedan
Cons:bad milage

I have owned BMW M3(6MT, 2003), Infiniti G35 Coupe(6MT, 2005), and I purchased IS-F 2 months ago. I hated to drive AT, but IS-F totally changed my mind, it may be the world best transmission, so quick, and so precise. Comparing handlings, M3 and G35 are very nice, I do not have any complaint for those two cars, but IS-F is better. One thing I complain about IS-F handling is that it has no L.S.D. I think if it had L.S.D., more traction it gets. Toyota should put L.S.D. by the time I get next IS-F! I always drive it at manual mode, because in a city, everybody turns around hearing IS-F engine sound.
Price-quality-ratio is so high!

performance with comfort ie Lexus

by Bill Boulware from Liberty, Mo. (6/27/08)
Pros:comfortable,fast,nimble,nice tight turning,great brakes
Cons:only the price

I love this car. I liked the IS 250 a lot,but it just didn't have the power.
This car has it all except AWD. If you like the feel of a sport's car but comfort as well,this is the car to buy. the report's say 0-60 in 4.2 seconds and I believe it. When you push the accelerator down, prepare to take off. you are actually thrown back in the seat.

THE BEST BUY FOR * DEPENDABLE HIGH PREFORMANCE

by Dennis Justi from St. Petersburg, Fl (6/20/08)
Pros:The most dependable upscale high preformance car on the market! The 8 peed auto is beyound belief !
Cons:NONE!

Every facet of this Lexus has been and redesigned and reseached prior to production. It is a preformance auto that can produce numbers like 4.2 --0 to 60 times and 12.7 in the quarter at 112mph. These number are even better than the 2008 Shelby Mustang, go figure. Lexus go gettum!

Not your father's lexus

by WhopISF from CT (4/18/08)
Pros:Speed, handling, lexus service, technology
Cons:suspension is TOO stiff

Great car. Super fast. Amazing acceleration at any speed (up to 120mph anyway - haven't had a chance to test beyond that). 8-speed auto with paddle shifters is great - really nice tech lets you use the paddle shifters to drive it like a stick even the car still in auto; want a little more pep, hit the downshift paddle and it'll pop into the right gear - may even be 5th from 8th or whatever. Handling, cornering are superb. This is not your father's lexus! Only complaint is that the ride is VERY stiff and you really feel all the bumps - a bit much even for a sports car. Backseat is better than you expect - actually usuable for real people for short trips.
