I had a 2013 Audi Q5 and didn't see what all the fuss was about... There is something really visceral about the Lexus IS that I'm completely in love with.

Yeah, the proportions, stance, and aggressive styling create one mean machine!

Hello everyone. Name is Ryan and currently living in SoFl. My gf and I just purchased a 14 250. Suppose to be my daily but since we bought it 4 months ago, I only put 1000 miles on it lol. I have my daily beater, 99 sable that I cant seem to retire yet, she's been good to me. Also have my weekend warrior, 05 Evo VIII RS. Wifey drives a 12 Acura TSX. But the IS is definitely an awesome ride. I love it. Going to do subtle mods. I have wheel spacers and tein h-techs to install and will purchase an exhaust soon for it. I'm a ford tech going on 12 years now, and been busy so I just have to find the time to do it. But just looking forward to browsing the forum and seeing and reading what others are doing to theirs. Don't have many pics but here's some.

Hello All, My name is Cj and I am from Glen Allen, VA. Let me start off saying this car is hard to find used with options. Forget about finding one in Deep Sea Mica. I was looking at a 2017 WRX but just didn't pan out for me. I started looking at the IS350's as I wanted something sporty looking with AWD. Lexus caught my eye. I ended up buying a 2014 IS350 F-Sport AWD, Nebula Gray Pearl. I pick her up on Saturday! Super excited! Any tips,mods, etc for a new Lexus owner?

Congrats, and great choice!

For mods, I would say swing by the Build Threads forum to see what others are doing with their ISs.

Just bought this 2014 IS 250 today. Moved from an Infiniti G37S to this. I do miss the power of the G, but I'm hoping this car will be reliable for a long time to come.
