2001 Lexus IS 300 - Lexus AN Palos Verdes Estates, California Overall 5.0 Value 5.0 Performance 5.0 Style 5.0 Comfort 5.0 Fuel Economy 4.0 Reliability 5.0 2001 Lexus IS 300 - Lexus The car has 150,000 miles and is still running smoothly. Over the almost 15 years that I have owned the car, I have only had to make minor updates (e.g., Replace batteries) and it still runs like a dream! The black and silver interior never goes out of style, and the microsuede seats make it feel like a sports car. Plus, the microsuede seats mean you will never get scorched by sun-soaked leather seating again. As someone who loves road trips, the car is perfect. It is small enough to make the trip with great fuel mileage, but it is large enough to comfortably fit 4 people and all of the things they might need for a long weekend away.

Story I love taking the car to the beach. With its sun/moon-roof and sport-tapered shape, the car looks great filled with beach-goers! I remember taking my friends down to the beach in the car, with our hands out the sunroof and windows. After a day in the sun, sand, and ocean, we could hop into the car and sit in the comfortable microsuede seats on our way to grab iced coffees. I love taking the car to the beach.

Pros The car will never go out of style, and I constantly get questions about when the car was made, despite the car being nearly 15 years old. The sleek lines on the car make it look and feel like a sports car, with its incredibly quick pick-up. The car gets great gas mileage, the air unit has always been reliable, and the engine has as well. Only minor repairs have been necessary and will likely continue to be. I have conducted all suggested check-ups at the Lexus dealership, so all repairs are documented and I would gladly show them to you.

Cons The 7CD stereo system has been problematic since the first few years that I owned the car. I have had to replace it three times, however the first three CD slots always work. It is the later CD slots that get jammed and do not accept new discs. The 7CD stereo system has been problematic since the first few years that I owned the car.

AS Swoyersville, Pennsylvania Overall 4.0 Value 4.0 Performance 5.0 Style 5.0 Comfort 4.0 Fuel Economy 4.0 Reliability 5.0 2016 Lexus IS 300 - A sweet ride with lots of driver goodies. My Lexus IS 300 is a very stylish car. The color is eminent white pearl. It is a very unique color with much depth to it. It seems to glisten like pearls in the sun. The body/contour lines and the 17 inch alloy rims give this sedan a very sporty yet luxurious feel and appearance. The interior boasts a very supple faux leather look in a very rich tan and black two-tone coloring. The sedan has many driver goodies including cruise control, blind spot notification, a fixed color screen, sun/moon roof, navigation, satellite radio, and power seats that adjust in many different directions. Unfortunately, the driver seating area seems a little cramped with the steering wheel and there are two useless cup holders in the center console.

Unfortunately, the driver seating area seems a little cramped with the steering wheel and there are two useless cup holders in the center console. But, the very responsive 255hp engine and AWD precision handling more than make up for it. The sedan can be driven in automatic mode or in manual mode with the shift handle or the paddle shifters on the steering wheel to make the ride even more fun. There are also 3 driving modes: economy, normal, and sport. The gas mileage isn't the greatest. I would say that I average about 25 mpg in the city. The Lexus Enform suite is another bonus. It can be accessed through an app on your smartphone and enables you to find, start, lock, and monitor your vehicle through an internet connection.

The boss sent the young man back into the store but reminded outside talking with me about the car. Pros Exterior styling Navigation 255HP AWD Sun/Moon Roof Lexus Enform app Paddle shifters Blind spot notification Exterior styling Navigation 255HP AWD Sun/Moon Roof Lexus Enform app Paddle shifters Blind spot notification Cons Driver seat and steering wheel seem cramped at times. Car is low to the ground so it seems difficult to exit. There are 2 cup holders in the center console that are difficult to reach. If riding with a passenger, the passengers arm covers them. Placement is terrible. Driver seat and steering wheel seem cramped at times. Car is low to the ground so it seems difficult to exit.

It's the first sporty car I've owned, but it is smooth and peppy even at 13 years old. The styling of the car is also impeccable - the wheels give the car a sleek look, and I think its looks match its ability. I enjoy having four doors, four seats, and a large trunk, which can fit quite a bit. It is effortlessly comfortable on great distances, swallowing large swaths of highway without nary a stiff back or numb toes. The car has been nothing but reliable when serviced correctly - the only times it had a fault was when I was negligent in its upkeep. I love my Lexus IS300.

Pros My favorite parts of the vehicle are the peppy acceleration and great engine noise, the ability of the driver to control the gearing with the electronic button pushes on the steering wheel, the sound system which delights, and the sunroof.

Cons I dislike the mileage this car gets, and servicing it can be expensive. For example, to do the 60,000 mile warranty was almost two thousand dollars (this included tires as well, however). Any of the parts for it, given that its a Lexus, are more pricey as well. I dislike the mileage this car gets, and servicing it can be expensive.
