Great looking car from a trusted brand.

Test drove it would love to buy one. Drive was great, has all the latest safety and comfort features. Only lacks apple car play. Rest is perfect!

Sporty yet comfortable car

I love this car. Super comfortable, roomy but not too big. Sporty and sleek look inside and out. Sport mode makes it fun to drive. I?ve gotten a ton of compliments from people already.

Best looking car I've owned...

Beautiful inside and out. Wish it had memory seat. Still have mp3 player/ipod issues. When playing ipod, it shuts off entire system after 1 minute! To play an mp3 player, you must pull out usb cable and then put it back in! If I shut the vehicle off leaving on mp3 player via usb, the audio system is off when I start up the car again! If I shut off car, with radio on, it is on when I turn the car back on. WEIRD. The dealer has already replaced the audio system. Next is to replace the 2 usb ports. Other than this, I love the car so far...

Favorite car purchase!

Super stylish and sporty but with all the luxury you expect from a Lexus! It handles great and who knew I?d love red interior?! The parking assist sensors can be annoying so I turned them off, backup cam is just fine!

Should of owned this car years ago

Where to begin? Well for one this car is a good looking vehicle, it has a number of features that I'm still discovering along the way. It drives smooth, safety features are on point, it will catch you by surprise (depending on your reaction it might startle you). I traded in my Infiniti and although I did feel hesitant at first I do not regret my decision today. I'm saving more money driving (in my opinion) a better looking car with more features that I was promised and never had in my last vehicle. Overall a good vehicle. On a side note If you're in the market for a speed demon this is not the model to get. This car has speed but it's not built primarily for that.

I got a newer one of what I had before

I had a 2002 IS 300 and loved it. I was very sad when it started to go, but I knew that I wanted to try the newest version. I test drove a few of the 2015s and a 2016, but for the price difference I decided to just treat myself. I am very glad that I did. I have gotten A LOT of comments about the exterior of the car (I got the black on black).
