Oh, What Fun It is to Drive ...

The IS-F is fantastic. Without doubt, the most fun car I have ever driven. It does everything right. I'm 6'-3", 240 lbs. My wife thought I was nuts when I traded my Range Rover Sport SC for the IS-F. Within a few days, she didn't think I was so crazy after all.

Can out beat ALL COMPETIORS

I own many cars and sell them(I am retired after winning a lottery)afteter testing them. My only pemenent car was the 2008 Lexus LS600hL. When the Is-F came out I test drive it and bought it a minute after. THe 8 speed automanual trasmission worked perfectley and preciesly. Better than the c63 and manual transmission. Soon I bought the Audi Rs4, BMW m3,Mercedes C63AMG and tested them. The IS-F was more powerful than all of them and the most comfatable of all in traffic and in the mountains. The styling was also the most noticble. I recieved many people looking at my car but not a lot when drivng the RS4,M3,C63AMG. THe IS-F is truly a car that is PERFECT AND OUTBEATS IT'S COMPETTIORS.

The Perfection Has Been Acheived

Lexus proved temselves to be the best when they launched the LS400 in 1990. Now lexus has did it again with the new f-Series...with a 8 speed, exclusive to lexus and power that is Faster than BMW, MB, and Audi and steering that is just as precise as all of the above...this is a sure winner with styling that is different yet elegant while being sporty. BMW has been doing facelifts since the 90's and Audi has been doing the same look over and over and MB's C-Class lacks aerodynamic styling. The LEXUS IS F is the Luxury Supercar Waiting to be Built

THE MOST QUIETEST LEXUS EVER

The new IS-F is now an outstanding car. I also noticed that when you pass the 4,500 line you hear this amazing rumble come from the 416 HP engine. I also took it for a drive and all of a sudden the lights turned red and i stepped on the brakes and it took no time at all from 80 MPH, because this very fast machine is equipped with new Brembo brakes that are not so expensive to repair or replace. At the pump it is GREAT. It only cost me $55 to fill up the tank. It is also very very quiet and i think it is even better than the 2006 Maybach 62. I think it is so quiet that i can whisper trought the all-new bluetooth calling. But after all its only a Lexus not a Lamborghini.

Mercedes, Infiniti M45

I like Lexus but want thing that bother me was the timing belt was not a chain like Mercedes. then you have to replace when they 100000 miles you know. the timing belt they should be last for life of the car.
