There were a lot of reasons, i.e. no spare, no dipstick, not enough power....it handled like a dream but I had issues with run-flat tires (they do not run flat after hitting a pothole and tearing out the sidewall!) I looked at a 335i sedan before deciding on the Lexus.

My IS250 is replacing my first and only car a 1999 Pontiac Grand AM SE. No power windows, no cruise control, no CD player, very cheap maintenance, very reliable, good fuel economy, great traction, no major repairs over my 8 years of ownership, abnormally high insurance for full coverage of $1,600 per year in Chicago, for a new driver, because it was considered a "Sports Car" with its ferocious 2.4 L 4 cylinder140HP engine.
I wanted a taste of the high life, enter Lexus stage left.

Wish I could have kept that Infiniti G20 D:
Cornered like it was on rails, and got 30-31 mpg for my daily commute.
