2012 Lexus IS Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers really enjoy the 2012 Lexus IS for its impressive performance, luxury features, and sporty feel. They appreciate the power and handling, which make it fun to drive, while also finding it comfortable and stylish. However, some have noted that the interior can feel cramped, and the car may not drive as smoothly as other models, particularly when comparing it to larger SUVs."
It's the perfect combination - Family Car meets Race Car. Has the same 0-60 time as my Ferrari but flies under the Radar. I love everything about this Car and not everyone knows what it is except the Valet Drivers - they all seem to call it their dream car. Bang for the Buck is Huge and the only thing that sounds better is a Ferrari
September 24, 2013Best car Ive ever owned. Power, speed, sleek, felt like a Porsche to me. Added strut tower braces and a stage II plug-in and seemed even better. Luxury performance The Way
May 30, 2022Great sporty car with plenty of zip and gets great gas mileage with a very comfortable ride. Having owned several sports cars this has been most satisfying in all aspects, especially in the fit and finish pure luxury in a sports car.

February 12, 2015I car rides smooth. Very good gas mileage. And it it hasn't had any maintenance problems. It looks smooth and sleek. Overall it's a fun car to drive and it's very comfortable seating. I've had it for 2 years and it still holds the new car small.
August 12, 2014Great bang for your buck. Comfortable and sporty. Great handling.
May 18, 2022Solid car, everything is high quality. But it should have been about 6 inches longer. The compartment is pretty cramped.
November 1, 2021Awesome easy to drive car. Blind spot is a bit hard to look out of, but backup camera helped a lot. F-Sport package with the 18-inchers and stiffer suspension makes the car handle better and look better. Interior space could be better, though.
March 23, 2012306 hp fun to drive with luxury lots of features
June 25, 2021The price was more than I expected to pay but prices on used cars have gone up significantly. Doesnt drive as smooth as my old GX470 but overall is a good car so far.
