2008 Lexus IS 350 consumer reviews

In love with this car. Blacked out the grill and the wheels. Get compliments daily! 29 MPG average with HEAVY peddle.

For years I drove BMW 3 series. When it was time to get a new car, I simply could not afford the BMW 3 series I wanted with all of the extra options, so I explored Lexus. Service and affordability has been excellent. I went with the IS 350 instead of the 250 to compare to my previous BMW. Along with this, I got all of the "bells and whistles" I could not afford in the BMW. I have had this car going on 4 years now, and I just can't love it. It does not take a sharp corner without skidding out in the rear. Visibility is not very good for me compared to my previous cars. I am constantly "curb checking." Not sure why. The Nav system is not very helpful-I often use my google maps on my iphone instead. The back seat is very small. I do enjoy all of the features that Lexus includes, though. I would definitely recommend Lexus for the customer service, and I do enjoy driving the RX when I get a loaner. Otherwise, I may have to return to German engineering.

I love my IS350 its the best cars I've owned from Toyota so far and the funnest. This car is fast and turn on a dime. I love it !!

No other car in this class comes close to the comfort of this car. Performance, it's up there - blows away Acuras and any FWD car. Does it perform like a BMW? Maybe not but unless you're on a closed track the difference is negligible for 99% of drivers, whereas the luxury and reliability factors are noticibly better in the IS. I love this car!

This car is just amazing. Great handling, engine, luxury, comfort, fuel-efficiency. The Lexus Service is committed to excellence and is just great. Many amenities come with this car that truly makes the value worth. Go out there and get one of these cars, they are great.
