2006 Lexus IS 350 consumer reviews

I bought this car in 2006 with 7K miles. It is absolutely the best car I have ever owned. It is now 16 years old and has 180K miles on it. I have only replaced the shocks, the wheels( discount tire) and 1 differential. The oil runs clean right up to the oil change. Beautiful and fast with the upgraded stereo system that sounds like a concert haul. I hate to get rid of it. I enjoy every time I drive it, still.

Let me start by saying this is my first Lexus. All my other vehicles are Toyota’s. This car is my commuter/fun time car. I bought it salvaged with 200,000 plus miles. I bought it cheap! I dumped about 4 grand into styling (Front bumper swap is a must) all the fluids, tires, some cosmetic upgrades, suspension upgrades and maintenance items. This car is a runner and will either beat or hang with V-8’s. I put headers, full dual exhaust and a RR Racing tune. It’ll snap your head back. I can’t believe what I’ve been missing out on. All the luxury I need plus the power. I test drove the ES and loved the smoothness and ride, if pure comfort is what you want with good power get the ES, but if you don’t mind a stiffer ride and a smaller back seat then this is the car for you. I put lowering springs too and the stance is amazing RSR brand was my choice. I don’t scrape but I’m mot that low, the tires do rub but I also have 20’s.

Sporty, fun, sexy pearl white Lexus IS350 has treated me so well over the past 13+ years and sadly, I must let her go for a mom-mobile! She comes equipped with the most amazing Mark Levinson premium surround sound stereo system thats sure to get you going for a night out on the town! 3 chrome dipped stock Lexus wheels and one alloy that replaced a damaged wheel after a blowout. Chrome dipping can be done for about $300. She's been well maintained and has had every recall rectified by a certified Lexus dealership. She was in a minor fender bender, when I rear ended a small truck going about 5-10 mph. KBB/NADA value of $8100-$10,000 is inclusive of every flaw listed here! There is NOTHING like her for sale in the Nation! She has Every option available...MSRP NEW was $45,000! This color combo is very sought after. I received full cash offers last year and I know the market for used vehicles is way more hot now, due to COVID! New tires and recent front end alignment. Wish I could keep her as an extra car!

Love it!! It’s been the best car I’ve ever had! I honestly don’t want to sell it! When I come back to the States I will buy the same car!

Havent had any problems except for TPMS battery dying which is normal for a 13 year old car. Still faster than most vehicles on the road now

This car is amazing, it has all the comfort creatures that you could want in a car. Fun to drive and exactly wanted we were looking for as a 3rd vehicle to use.

I have owned this Lexus IS350 since 2009 and honestly I have driven it pretty harshly through the years but it has been the best car I have ever owned. It?s like a super charged timex watch. I don?t ever want to part from it but it?s getting old and it?s about time. The transmission went south at 192k and Lexus quoted me $8k to replace it. I picked one up from a wrecking yard for $300 bucks and $600 to have installed, and then at 210k miles the alternator went out. Not too bad for almost 10 years of ownership. Lexus makes quality and super reliable cars. It?s been an outstanding ride and I know it will go another 250k! I?m looking at the Lexus RC F coupe now, hopefully I find one that connects to me as much as this one did! Simply Amazing Cars!

i loved owning this car. it?s easy to drive around in town. has good exceleration. and it looks good. excellent value for the money. great ownership experience with lexus dealer. dealer will give loaner car free of charge if car is kept over night for maintenance.

This car is the best of both worlds in terms of luxury and performance. Roomy enough for the family and sporty and fast enough to get where you need to go in a hurry. Plus it handles 100% like a sports car

Neckbreaker, as well as also being a performance car. If you want something fast and has the looks of a luxury car then this is the one for you
