Wrong? Nothing wrong. If loving this car is wrong, I don't want to be right. This car is everything any other car could be, including the Americans. I usually bought American until my Mountaineer started its anticipated descent into garbage. This is my second Lexus and fully anticipate it to be as incredible as my first. Also my wife insisted on the IS300 while I leaned towards the Acura TL as better value. I am happy to say that I finally listened to my wife. She does know something about cars. Go figure.
Love the car. Love the deal. Love the service. Wanted a free Lexus watch in the deal but didn't get it. Didn't love that.
As for handling, I think it handles better than my late 80' Mustangs. This car cooks. My wife even said that I look good in this car. Maybe I'll get lucky with that threesome, now.
Got 2001 e-shift is300.. I LOVE it... its solar yellow.. and I hit red-line EVERY time I accelerate.. transmission got smoother when I took it to dealer for "under panel" recall... then they did the transmission reprogramming to get rid of abrupt up-shift.. all is well.. nothing broke..
Tires are still good after 20k on them..
I always put 40psi on all tires to make is300 more sportier.. all works!
The only complain I would have is.. of course!
More performance!!! if I would have another 30 hp.. that would really give a kick to the car..
But then we are talking reliable lexus.. not
break down after 30k lexus.. so in any way I'm happy
with it!
Nice review!
