lexus is 300

this car is very small and kind of uncomfortable for a 6.2 guy like me. however, the performance is austonished and formidable. also the reability is impeccable and very fun to drive. i would buy it again if i had to.

Awesome sporty sedan

I've had mine for 3+ years. Positives: Great torque (200+ftlb) and fantastic handling (with proper tires), magical brakes (on-par with Porsche), better than any car in its class. Nice amenities and cool interior & exterior styling. Love the self-leveling HID headlights and suede interior which doesn't get too hot or too cold. Very few problems. Negatives: High insurance costs, poor fuel economy, lots of wind and road noise, odd throttle response. Recommendation: get the 5spd manual if you can.

I love this car.

I've had alot of sports cars over the years of all shapes and sizes. THis little sports sedan is one of the coolest. Performance is awesome and snappy. E-Shift on the steering wheel is great for the freeway on ramps. The interior is very unique and cool. I personally like full leather as these come with suede /leather combo. That's my only neg. Excellent car for the money. You can't beat the reliability. It;s a high end Toyota. It's bullet proof.

2001 Lexus IS300

Great car. Fast and nimble. The power of the straight 6 is far superior to the V6 in later models. I'm at 56,000 miles and I could not be happier with the car.
