Default My review of the 2014 IS250 RWD
I had the chance this past weekend to take the 2014 Lexus IS250 RWD for an extended test drive. Took a few pictures and wrote up a little review of my thoughts.

nice, your review mimics pretty much what all the reviews are saying, but for what it's worth, I have 0 interest in driving an IS 250, at 6500 feet above sealevel in my opinion that is a total waste of money! at your elevation it would be marginally acceptable. in the RWD format weighing less its better then the AWD but not for me.

I agree with the remap of the ECU compared to the 2IS, the 3IS feels more responsive and a tad quicker.
