Default 2017 IS200t

Looking for some feedback. Have a 2001 IS300 and was recently involved in hit and run. Damage is greater than value of car so ins. is totaling car. Thinking about getting 2017 IS200t and was hoping others who have this car could provide feedback as to how you like it. November lease deal is $371/mo, $1500 down, 12K/yr for 3 years. Not sure what December deals will be, but seems like a pretty good deal for the Fsport package.

I just got the 2017 F-Sport RWD few months ago and I like it, I had a 2015 IS F-Sport 250 AWD previously, I kinda miss the V6 but the gas mileage on the Turbo is overall very good.
I do also like the turbo sound is not incredible fast but satisfy my needs, I do also like the new add on the cruise control with the sensors and the big front brakes.
Overall I'm happy with it.

Forgot to mention I just relocate to South Florida so that's the reason I took the RWD since I don't think I'll need the AWD here.

Hope this helps.

I have a 2016 and love it. Makes enough power and I get 32-33 80% highway mileage.

To keep at the price point, you can get the 200T f sport or 350 non f-sport. I chose the handling and seats over the engine. plus wanted a new engine as the 350 engine is old.

still though.. around town, the 200t mileage is kind of poor. my very heavy bumper to bumper commutes home show 15 mpg at best. driving in "normal" city traffic i can get 20-22. Highway is FANTASTIC though. 33-35. sometimes 38.

my overall mpg shows 21mpg. so if you're buying it for the fuel mileage, don't.

not a bad try for Lexus first turbo engine... but they definitely need to go back to the drawing board. it's kind of painfully obvious this is Lexus's first attempt.
