2002 Lexus IS300 e-shift review from North America
"Best performance bargain in its class!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Some creaking noise produced by the dash board and the left side pillar.
General comments?
This car handle and perform very superbly.
And also in my opinion this car has the best brake in its class.
Seats are very comfortable, always looking forward to drive this car after a tiring day from work and activities.
Rear seats are a little bit tight, but it will still fit 5 people reasonably.
Has the best dealer ever experience to date, Lexus definitely outperform others in this segment.
The only back draws will be the slightly too much use of plastic for the dashboard.
A slight increase on the power-band will also be much appreciated.
