Most reliable and safe car I?ve owned

This car is safe and has a strong horsepower at the same time. Very quiet and easy to drive. This car is very sporty too that it hugs your body when you sit down.

Never had any problems

Best reliable car. The 2012 Lexus IS 250 is powered by a 2.5-liter V6 that produces 204 hp and 185 pound-feet of torque. Buyers can choose between rear- or all-wheel-drive variants.

Best luxury car I could have purchased used!!

Exceptional handling...style and performance... Purchased used in July 2017...48,448 miles on it...was 3 weeks passed the 5 year man so could not be certified preowned but passed the dealers 161 point inspection. Was a one owner car purchased from Lexus dealer in Catherdral City Ca and traded back in to that dealer 5 years later. Car was taken care of very well and still today a year later looks unbelievable. Will be driving this car for many many years. Car is the nice light blue color with creme interior....rear spoiler and chrome Lexus wheels along with all the other creature comforts.

I have owned Lexus sense 2006 it's a great car.

This car has good power and is very reliable sets 4 to 5 people. Gets great gas mileage. Has good room in the trunk. We just put new Michelin tire's on the car.

Nice sporty car. Rides a little rough

Love the Lexus Brand. Like the car, very reliable. Don't like the fact that the wheels are different size from front to the back. Cant to rotate the tires.

Lexus IS-250=The Right Choice

After months & months of shopping around for my next vehicle as a current Audi S4 owner, I decided to go w/ the Lexus IS-250 because of overall value; pricing, performance, sporty styling & design, reputability/reliability & infrequent maintenance & repairs... so far so good & all is great!

Reliable nice car.

I used to own several new Mercedes-Benz cars before. Surprisingly this used Lexus model exceeded my expectations. It still feels and drives almost like new. I expect to make over 200 000 miles on it.
