i've never liked any lexus until 2013 when the 4GS came out. Was looking for a new car in 2014 and decided on an IS250, and so far, despite it being slow, it's been my favorite car of all the cars i've owned

My first lexus was a 92 SC400 and then a 92 SC300 5spd. My last Lexus was a 01 GS430 and in stock form the GS430 was my favorite. It was roomy, comfy and had plenty of power. I still miss that car sometimes.

My first Lexus and current daily driver - 2001 IS300, bought it with 80K miles 7 yrs ago. Currently at 191K still running strong. I also had a 2008 IS250 for about 2 yrs which interior and exterior were nice but got into an accident with it a few yrs ago and it got totaled.

I have a 2008 is250. Rock solid. Aside from regular maintenance, it's never been to the shop. 111k on the ODO. Actually getting ready to give it to my mom. A little small but it's been a great car.

The best car I've owned is 2010 is250. Good on gas, not too big and fast enough.

Forgot to mention the fuel efficiency and power balance. 400+ miles on a tank and decent power when you need it.

Just something about the genuine, non perforated leather and the quality of plastics and the steering wheel. Just the best combination for me. Not a fan of all leather steering wheels and the fake leather used today.

92 Lexus SC300 it's basically a NA supra. The 2JZ motor is legendary. But then again it's the only Lexus I've owned.
