2009 Lexus IS Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This car is excellent as a daily driver, reliable and quick. It has the looks and interior styling of a luxury car but with a sports-car twist. Once you're inside you are practically in your own world, no noise except for the radio. The only downside is if you're looking for a sports car, this is not it. Lexus did well with the styling and perhaps the IS350 would suffice, but 204hp is simply not enough for a sports car. Other than that, very nice car that makes daily commutes slightly more fun.

Great if you're single, there isn't much room in the back but its super comfy. Sat. nav is also easy to use and intuitive. All the technology in this car is pretty useful and I find myself actually using it rather than just knowing you have it. Comes almost fully loaded out of the box so it basically is the best bang for your buck entry luxury sedan.

The navigation display seems outdated to me--had a 2008 Mercedes C300 before this and liked the navigation display (and the entire system) better. Sometimes the navigation self corrects to a ridiculous, out-of-the-way route, when my phone (correctly) tells me I can just drive straight and get there. Way more power than the benz, though--much more fun to drive.

I love this car, it truly is the favourite from any car i have owned. The only down side is restraint...ie, I have to use restraint every time I drive anywhere coz I would love to put my foot down and really see how fast it goes!

I love the performance and sound of the engine. The engine has more torque then a M3 and when you get above 3500 rpm it really roars. The only negative on the car is ride is a little firm and on a track the power is a little high on rev band. But in everyday driving the car acts like a lexus until you hit 3500 rpm and it becomes another car.

This car handles very well. Its luxurious, navigation and back up camera, black inside and black outside, ice cold AC, heated and cooled seats, can barely feel bumps in the road, great sound system, looks very stylish, comfortable to ride in.

This is an amazing automobile. I never expected to find this level of performance in a rice-rocket from Lexus, but here it is! A true pleasure to drive, averaging 26 MPG on the highway and 18-19 around town, even if I thrust my foot into the injectors from time to time! Performance is exceptional! Build quality is excellent - nothing wrong in 9,000 miles; Exterior styling is smooth and edgy at the same time!; interior is luscious!; More fun than anyone should be allowed to have!

I like the handling and suspension and especially the heated AND ventilated/cooling seats. It works in any temperature at any time of year! This car was a very nice, extremely comfortable ride for me for almost four years. Great lumbar support too!

Good acceleration, poor handling. Has quite a firm feel while driving. Good electronics and interior design. It does have a great fun factor, turning traction control off always adds that extra kick in the corners. The cost of ownership however is where the car lets you down.

Reliable if taken care of . Tech is old and parts are relatively expensive
