2007 Lexus IS250 review from North America
"Every trip is pretty much a joyride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far.
General comments?
It may be because its the first rear wheel drive car I have owned, but the handling is amazing.
The ~200 ponies is plenty of power for this car for pretty much anyone unless you are a professional street racer.
The space is the back is very limited. Its pretty much impossible to fit 6' people in the rear seats. There is not enough head space or legroom.
The cabin is a pure joy. Comfortable bucket seats and all the buttons in the right places. They managed to even fit to very good sized cup holders.
