The New IS by LexusISman on 02/03/2007. Trim: 2006 Lexus IS 250 AWD, Owned 1 year.

Pros: Most Lexus models get knocked on looking too much like a Toyota. The IS250/350 models however, have a look all there own. It's turns heads and you don't see them on every street corner like the BMW3 series.

Cons: I own the AWD version, which packs on some extra weight. The engine should be more powerful.

Overall review: I will absolutely consider another Lexus IS model when this lease comes to an end. Lexus has a solid customer loyalty program and if it the IS continues to outshine the BMW 3, I will get another one however it'll be the 350 or the IS-F.
