Lovely car. I do a lot of highway driving and the car cruises along beautifully. I get 7.5ltr/100k pretty good I reckon for a 6 cylinder. Seats are comfy and I'm not the smallest of people. Leather seats are good quality. I compared the BMW and merc and the Lexus won hands down on price and equipment.
reliable, comfy responsive
Brake dust on front tyres! Just means I have to clean them more often :)

Traded a Merc C200 to get an IS250 in 2005 when they came out. Had it for 4 years.
Had few issues with it - mainy with remote going flat after only a few months.
Service was the Best I have had with any car company
Service costs were very good
Car sounded great when revved
Fuel economy was outstanding for a six
No fold down rear seats ruined practicality
Never had any real problems with the car.
Well finished, luxury, economy, after sales service, safety
no fold down rear seats

Great car, good looks, exceptional drivablility, and very good after sales service.
The car is fantatsic to drive, is reasonable on fuel. The seating adjustement range is good and has range to suit all inu my family who drive it. Instrumentation is great and easy to read, love the heated seats in winter. Handling is brilliant and braking is very impressive. The car is very forgiving. I have had the car for 6months now and havent found anything negative about it. Lexus of Newcastle aftersales is a pleasent shock. Have bought vehicles before from other dealers and felt like a lepper.
Wish I could afford two of them :)

Fantastic piece of machinery - great fuel economy, even better customer service can't beat it, we would look any where else - nothing compares

not for tall people as passengers in the back seat

I traded a BMW for a Lexus and and glad I did. An excellent car. Comfortable, reliable, economical, smart. And extras for the BMW were standard on the Lexus. A much better car.
Everything about the Lexus is excellent. A beautiful car.
The rear view mirror is a little low. But a minor problem really.

Great fuel economy, extremely quiet and smooth, terrific take offs, lovely design, excellent after care service. I love this car and will now never change brand (unless something diabolical happened to Lexus!) I test drove the BMW, Mazda CX9, and the Honda, and the difference blew me away! Lexus won hands down in all areas, including price, even to the availability and cost of parts and servicing. There's nothing not to like about this car.
Everything!

After owning BMW's and Merc's Lexus has really won me over. Lexus's customer service is unbelievable the IS250 C is so quiet you can hardly hear the engine going and the leather seats are so comfortable you nearly fall asleep in them. Like I said above it is pure luxury and leaves the BM's and Merc's I've owned for dead.
I bought the Lexus IS250c for my wife about 2 months ago and can't fault this vehicle. Pure luxury and value for money and back up service from Lexus is hard to beat. I hate driving it it's just too nice to drive and my wife is always on my back for racking up 6500km's in 2 months
People never stop staring at the car when driving it around town I'm frighten that it will be stolen

Love this car. I find it isn't as fast as other 6 cylinders I have driven but that's no worry to me. It does use a bit of gas but other than that it is a beautiful car to drive. Handles the road very well in the city and on long trips. Gear changes are much smoother than my previous cars. Would definately buy another one :)
Is a very beautiful car. Very nice to drive. Have not had one problem with it yet. Plenty of leg room.
Not that great on gas (I own the AS200 6 cylinder). The inside is a little boring. I don't really like the pyramid shape of the speedo cluster. There is no arm rest. Boot is not very big.

I have really enjoyed driving the is250 and can find little fault with the servicing, fuel consumption(very miserly) and general aspects of this well put together auto. It have owned it for 3.5years and not a fault has emerged. When I sell it I will definitely be getting another. Might upgrade to the sports version?
Everything. I was persuaded by the family to buy it for the GPS although I thought this was a gimmick. Turns out I was wrong as it has been a god send getting me to business destinations around Sydney on time and relaxed.
Nothing. Well perhaps the limited design of their alloys.

I took the Lexus IS250 for a test drive and was suprised at how mundane the car is. It is rather boring inside, with
a plain looking interior where nothing is striking. When you try to push the engine it takes a while to realise you are even accelerating, its all rather mundane. This is not a drivers car by any stretch of the imagination.
Comes in a variety of colors.
For those who like bland and uninspired cars.
Expensive for a car made by Toyota
Engine doesnt really accelerate well
Isnt as exciting to drive as the European cars such as BMW,
Mercedes, AUdi or even VW.
