Smile my thoughts on my is250 after 2 and a half months

i got my is250 on december 25th 2013, as a xmas gift which i wasnt expecting! i saved up for this car on my own, saved up $5000 my dad got this car for me cause my other car:2012 ford focus was having tranny issues. i found this car on auto trader for $23,000 had 27470 miles on it, was in Denver Colorado. it was an offer we couldnt resist. The color is tungsten pearl, has the sport package, navigation package, and the luxury package. My thoughts about this car after 2 and a half months or so: this is the best car i have owned yet! I love it, its smooth, its perfect, its pretty quick, has great power and torque. It has 28,847 miles and it drives great, i know its not as fast as the 350 or isf, but still, the power and torque of this car really impresses me even for a 2.5 liter v6. It hasn't had any issues, and i know it wont because lexus is a reliable car, i also drive 5 days a week to college, i will be keeping this car for years to come, and I also wash it every 2 weeks or so, and the nickname of my is250 is Silver Bullet.

here are some pics i just shot this morning with my iPhone








bonus: here is my car next to my sisters 335i

I've had mine for about 8 months now. I havent drove it since December, since the winters in Alberta are pretty harsh.

Glad to hear you are enjoying it!

Feel free to drive hard on it when you want. I drive hard and fast in corner quite often. In 2 years+ after buying it brand new, it still ran like a champ. I like it so much that i purchase another IS: 350 this time
