Car I?ve wanted for quite awhile.

It?s been great so far. I?m hoping as long as I take care of it, it will last. I bought it used but Carfax was relatively clean. Even for a 10 year old car it?s nice.

Clean

These cars are good because they keep price, they are special editions of the Lexus I SF , you have your money invested, probably you will not lose money like those of more cars, you just have to take care of them, just that

Extremely fun and reliable!

Best car I've ever owned. I love my Lexus, great quality, power, luxury, sporty all in one. Not the best ride ever but it is super smooth when there aren't any bumps, suspension is on the stiffer side.

ISF is such a fun car

After almost 10 years of owning this car and 100k miles I still love it. It is so fun to drive and I have never had a single issue with it. It is extremely fast and reliable. It also gets attention because you don't see many of them. Insurance is a bit expensive on this car but you also have 450HP. I'm thinking about trading mine in for another ISF. I wish they still made them.

4 Door reliable super car

Want Corvette performance in a 4 door Car that's reliable. Say what you want, Rides rough, back seat not big enough, It's not fast enough , Blah Blah Blah This is not your old man's Lexus. Do some research. If you were under 25 years of age this is not the car for you. You can get hurt in this car if you don't understand power to weight ratio. Is long as you do factory parts good tires and change the brakes when necessary , change the oil, this car will go 400,000 miles. You'll smile all the way there while driving this. I wanted this car for five years, and it's everything I thought it would be! Great product Lexus !

Non-Bias review on ISF

Always wanted the isf. Bought it used at 63k miles and had driven it the last two weeks. I have to say it is a very sporty and fast sedan. It's not your average camry that's for sure. The engine is slow to react when u hit the pedal because it's driven by wire and not throttle cable so there is a delay in throttle response. But to change that u can buy an aftermarket throttle controller to boost the signal and you'll get the same result as a normal cable. The suspension is very stiff and at time bumpy as if you're driving a BMW M3 coupe. And you're thinking wait this isn't a coupe. It takes the turn very well no body roll. Engine very smooth ac power seats very comfortable and sporty wrap around. I get a lot of attention when I drive to places. Makes friends instantly when they see I'm driving a "F". This is not a sedan for someone in the older stage of live this is a lively car. I recommend ages 18-45. Compare to the ls460 this is like a Porsche vs an accord.

I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!

I've had this car for just over a month and love it. The performance is awesome and it looks great. It's a very rare car and I am constantly getting compliments about it. Only downside so far is the $140 oil change.
