A very wonderful review, I own a Lexus IS250 and I love the car, the only thing I would point out for those interested in buying one are; 1. Ensure you buy fuel injector cleaner, octane booster or fuel treatment constantly, due to the heavy carbon build up from the direct injector engine. 2. Buy Synthetic engine oil and change it every 3,500km because the engine is fund of burning engine oil quickly.

[@shaunmychale2754]

Does fuel injector cause egg smell with the 250

[@okeyezeilo6187]

The trouble with the IS250 is that the engine is 1st gen direct fuel injection and carbon builds up readily on the intake valves.Needs a decoke every 40-60k. Better to buy the IS 350 which has more reliable port injection. The 350 also sounds better than the 250 which is a tad rattly at low revs...

[@kenbroux12]

It’s also almost impossible to find a 350

[@stephensonwhite7963]

Every car has one or two problem. So find another excuse

I agree, though I own a Lexus IS250 and I'm approx 6'1" and I'm comfortable in both the front and the back seats even with my regular drivers seat adjustments all except the middle rear seat, the head room is also very convenient.

[@vantage0]

U gotta find out the horse power and the maximum mph...but it also depends on the shifting, U can't be drag racing with automatic transmission...

[@michaelosayande6846]

@@vantage0 alright thanks

[@oludiranjohn4712]

Your RX has more power so it's more capable of winning

[@ezeanivitalis4363]

Rx has a 3.5l engine compared to the is 250 2.5l engine. So the rx should win

[@moneymakingmachine2026]

Nah I’ve smoked a that same rx 350 09 but mine is a 2010 though

[@MrRay105]

Relatively okay review but the 250 is not economical for its horsepower generated, the 350 is a better buy. 350 has 301hp with normal V6 fuel economy (19/26mpg)

[@AjibolaIbrahim]

Also because it's a RWD. This results in better mileage per gallon as against AWD. My thought though

[@waleajayi-owoeye7137]

IS350 is the car to buy anyday! Its a monster

[@superheroanimal1]

I have 350. I wouldn't even advise anyone to go for 250. I remember the day I and My friend who owns a 250 was going to Lagos, the gap I gave this guy. It made him hate his 250. But there's nothing he can do cos he has already bought it plus 350 is not easy to find here in Nigeria.

[@joejoesmithz2353]

@@AjibolaIbrahim What does RWD means? And AWD I tot AWD means all weel drive

[@hembehembe6219]

Pls run a review of IS350 and compare it with the faster car between C350 and E350

Both has the same power but is350 will be slightly faster cos its lighter than than Es350.

​@@superheroanimal1 did he mention es350?....

Should I buy the c300 or is250 2008 ?

[@ndukwechinedu8793]

I’ll like a response to this comment, I’m considering c300 or an Is350, not sure which to go for and my main concern is the maintenance difference.

[@ndukwechinedu8793]

@234drive please help us out here.

[@superheroanimal1]

Go for IS350 if you can find one that is in good condition. You will enjoy it. I drive the 350 and I can tell with full chest that the car is beast. Maintainance is cheaper and reliable cos it's a Toyota. I wish it's time to sell mine, would have love to sell it to you. Please make sure to buy one in good condition OK.

I think the IS has steering rack problems for people that ply bad roads regularly

[@234drive]

Heard about this too but didn’t know it was a potential problem

[@danielreyes-fj4ji]

here in los angeles we dont have that problem. so it must me a bad road thing. mines drives perfect with 168,000 miles on it

[@TechBlondie]

Except for the fact that all IS engines are direct injection engines, and as such, they born engine oil a lot quicker than usual and they leave a terrible mess under the hood. I’m talking about those kind of messes that just won’t go away, you clean it, it comes right back after a while. I would stay away from this Lexus IS.

[@IIdankII]

install an air/oil seperator its it will be fine.

[@williamg-c8270]

Nah that mess is in your head bruh aint got no problem here

[@moonjayne]

that's only for anything before 2010, 2010 and above uses port injection (not sure if exclusively or alongside direct injection)
