I have a Lexus IS 300 (is a 2003 model – before they started making the IS 250/350). Great car – love it – love the Lexus dealer – sporty but also practical – back seat is comfortable enough for passengers (I don’t have people there very often or for very long) – one caveat – trunk is small. But mechanically – no problems – I look longingly at getter a newer model but I just can’t justify as mine is still so perfect and I am still happy driving it after 4 years (I bought used).
