Lexus IS 250 Review Summary
"We enjoyed driving them, particularly the more powerful IS 350. It's fast, it sticks in corners and it stops with authority."
"The ride is controlled but soft, and its silent cabin, devoid of any noise, harshness or vibration, is a portrait of tranquility."
"...the new Lexus IS looks like the finished thought that that was the previous IS design -- elements such as the grille, tail lights and headlamps seem drawn through to completion, with sharper edges, larger badges and closed shapes."
What reviewers liked least about the Lexus IS 250:
"Also not so hot is the grunt generated from the IS 250; buyers will find themselves wishing for a little more when going fast in a straight line."
"In back, the space is barely adequate for two average-sized humans. The enter-rear position is impossible."
Lexus IS 250 Comparisons:
"Behind the wheel, the IS 250 is all about comfort and coddling, offering the sort of gentle driving experience Lexus is known for while trailing the 3 Series in terms of athleticism."
"The new IS 250 and IS 350 are considerably larger than last year's IS 300 models and they're stuffed with creature comforts."
Best one-liners about the Lexus IS 250:
"Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi should start worrying now..."
"Its stance is purposeful, with hips elevated like a sprinter in the blocks, muscles tensed, ready to spring."
"...you could call the IS a GS mini-me..."
