[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

I know that 2.5L V6 doesn’t have that much power at 204 HP but if you don’t care about that and just want a comfortable ride that is still sporty, this IS 250 is a good choice. Plus that V6 will last year an eternity as expected from Lexus.

[@DMCarReviews]

204hp is plenty

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

@@DMCarReviews pretty much the same amount of power as the current RAV4 with the 2.5L 4 cylinder, so plenty of power for just normal street driving.

Love these cars, I have an 09’ IS 250 6MT. Very fun to drive!

[@DMCarReviews]

Very cool!

[@sesh3508]

I’ve had a couple IS350s and can’t get enough of them. Ultimately I want an ISF to be the “forever” car.

[@thatdudelj23]

Good review

[@DMCarReviews]

Thank you!

[@happyspammer]

I’m buying this soon, I’m so excited

[@mrcrankypants72]

yay

[@ronalddimitri2477]

Lexus v6 engines are amazing to drive and indestructible.

[@DMCarReviews]

That is very true!

[@tillmanscott7551]

The second gen is250 has a lot of features even cars now don’t have… mine has Auto Unlock and if you hold the unlock key it rolls all the windows down for those hot days.

[@JeremyReiding]

Nice colour, I have the green one, love my is250, had an is200 before, was also a great car runned without any problems

[@DMCarReviews]

Nice!

Luxury car

My first car is a 2006 Lexus is250 with 228,000 miles

[@jamest6850]

Should of hit the ect power button. Makes the throttle more responsive and the gears rev out more.

[@b58forever]

liar

[@jamest6850]

@@b58forever It does. It also revs out to redline in first gear with full throttle instead of changing earlier.

[@b58forever]

@@jamest6850 ok but i dont think that will make the car faster at any point

[@DMCarReviews]

@@b58foreverIt won't make it faster

[@jamest6850]

Never said it would but it makes it feel more responsive and u don't have to dig into the pedal as much to get a downshift in drive.

[@8corymix8]

They're fantastic cars but small. The ES is definitely better. But for a superb reliable daily driver, this is a fantastic buy

[@DMCarReviews]

I liked the IS more than the ES. It's not a fwd biased car like the ES.

[@hayden93]

the GS is what your looking for, essentially a bigger IS and is more luxurious than the ES. Sporty drive and solid build

[@Jarmo572]

Is350 rides even better and is a lot quicker

[@DMCarReviews]

I think they ride the same, but the IS350 is quicker.

[@larkt6693]

The highway ride feel of the IS250 is identical too that of IS350.. .

[@MysterANT]

Cause the is350 has a 3.5 liter V6 and this one has a 2.5 liter v6

[@hayden93]

@@MysterANTsuspension between the models is identical

[@MysterANT]

@@hayden93 yeah but 100 hp difference, I’d still get an is250, my buddy just got one and just got it fully detailed

[@marcin5552]

I want to buy one in Poland but it's hard to find one in good condition

[@Prevexo]

did you say the is350 is better for a taller person?

[@DMCarReviews]

ES350

[@sparkplug5129]

How does a g37 ride and handle compared to this?

[@DMCarReviews]

Ride is similar, but I do prefer the handling in the Lexus.

[@anthonycarreviews1528]

Do a 2009 Honda Accord V6 coupe

[@DMCarReviews]

Will try to find one!

[@jefferykingsley2140]

How does it handle compare to a 2015 E350

[@DMCarReviews]

Very similar actually. The E350 does feel more planted at higher speeds.
