2001 Lexus IS300 IS 300 review from North America
"The best buy for any sport minded"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The alignment has gone out three times.
I went through a set of tires in 10,000 miles. The set was brand new at the time of the purchase.
General comments?
This vehicle has been one of the best purchases I have ever made. Apart from the alignment issues, I have had absolutely no problems. I bought the car used, and for a good price. Nearly one year later I already owe less than its worth. Superb value.
The car is fast, stylish, and has one of the best stock sound systems I have ever heard.
The original brakes where replaced at 62,000 miles, and I only replaced them because my family owns a brake shop.
Lexus stamped its quality all over this car.
My only complaint is that the center console is too low for most male drivers to rest their elbow on.
