Bought the car used from my current dealer and I can't

Bought the car used from my current dealer and I can't say enough good things about it, mine is an IS300 f sport AWD with the 3.5 v6. Driving, the car is very comfortable, the v6 has more then enough power with the added benefit of being fuel efficient. There are 2 main flaws with the vehicle which are very minor in my opinion, 1 is front tire wear, it can be easily fixed but upgrading the lower control arm bushings, and Secondly the infotainment screen, no Apple caraway or android auto for the year, but can be easily upgraded! All in all this is the perfect mix of reliability and performance you'd expect from toyota, would recommend this car to anyone

Tire Problems

The reason I do not recommend this car is because you have to change all 4 tires every year. There is a floor in the design and tires loose their tread quickly. The dealers will not tell you, I found out the hard way. I drive under 10,000 miles per year, I drive mainly in the suburbs, a little city driving and I am not hard on the breaks. After the second year of getting all my tires replaced by Lexus they told me this was an issue with this model. Other than that it is a great car.

Comfortable, sporty and stylish

A stylish support car with all the Lexus attributes of quality and comfort. Our fourth Lexus all different models. Controls are complicated and required a significant amount of reading. But once mastered your master of the road

Beautiful car

This car met all of my needs, a beautiful sleek car. The sport mode is my favorite, but eco mode is usually the mode I’m on

Very sporty and has all the bells & whistles!

Only had it for 3 days, but she loves it! We're still reading the owners manual learning how to do all the features. Thanks again!
