Hey you are on Club Lexus lol so what do you expect people here to say anyways general consensus is IS250 is a good daily driver and if you have more cash, IS350 is a better one to go faster.

Welcome to Club Lexus.

It's a great car. Just make sure it's had the carbon buildup fix done.

Back in 07, I bought the IS350 for a college car. It has served me well.

I got me an IS350 senior year of high school and so far, it's been a great car. It has had problems but warranty fixed it. But if you live somewhere that snows, I would get AWD. That's the biggest regret cause I leave in the mornings and the streets are unplowed and even with snow tires and RWD, it slides a bit. Couldn't do much about it since the 350 only came in RWD at the time but the 250 comes in AWD and costs only a little more over a RWD one.

Great car for college. Small so it fits into small parking spots and good gas mileage. Back seats made for midgets mean no one will ask you to drive.

Get the IS350, 100 more horse power and not much price difference. I don't understand why 9/10 IS's are a 250. It boggles the mind.

Well buying it new, the difference is nearly 7k. A salesman tried too get me to purchase my IS350 instead of a IS250, but I did not want it even with big discount.
