2002 Lexus IS300 review from North America
"Great balance between sport, and luxury without having one around every corner (like the BM 3 series"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far...
General comments?
Cons:
Small trunk space.
Higher than expected fuel consumption.
Pros:
This car has too many to list. After switching from a Mercedes to a Lexus, I now know what RELIABILITY means. If you are looking for a mixture between sport, and luxury then I believe this is the perfect vehicle. I love the interior cockpit feeling; leather quality surpasses a lot of other vehicles.
One thing though, this car along with other Lexus vehicles have a simple beauty. I sometimes feel that it is not as EYE CATCHING as it should be for the price.
Overall I believe it is the best sport sedan out there, especially if you are planning to keep it for more than a couple of years, or are purchasing second hand.
