2001 Lexus IS300 review from North America
"Best car all around: comfort, reliability, price, performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since the car has been purchased, I've only done routine maintenance such as 30k and 60k mile tune ups, replaced tires, regular oil and filter changes, etc.
General comments?
Everything about this car has been perfect. I have had no mechanical problems with car, no electrical problems, interior is still perfect the seats and instrument panel still look new. I had to touch up some scratches on the black paint which was an easy and inexpensive fix while at the same time my friend tried to touch up her black Acura and had to pay much more to get their special black paint that was mixed with metallic blue. I sold this car to my mother a year ago and now she loves it just as much as I did.
