Default New Lexus IS

MEH. :down:

It's WAY over priced. 50k CDN for everything on the IS250. The base one is garbage with cloth seats-- still more than a TSX with NAVI! Looks nice though, but the e46 handles better imo.

That's my review, I was so dissapointed I didn't really do much else. :hs:

Yeah. It wasn't a driver's car.

Really nice interior though! The cup holder is tiny. Can't even fit in a bubble tea. h: I guess it's a good car for the general population. Toyota accomplished it's goal...

Test drove the IS250, I wasn't impressed at all. Lexus aims to take out the 2 series- and they try too hard. It just doesn't work. AWD is a nice feature, but overall, it wasn't a great car. The steering was sloppy and the interior was not up to par. The e90 330, on the other hand, was near perfect in many aspects. The 350 has more pep, but still, I'd take a 330 over it any day.
