Love this car, would buy again
No problems, almost 100k miles and drives like it's still new. Only have had regular maintenance done and planning on having the car around for another 100k miles. Leather is good quality and power is plenty for those with a lead foot. It was part of a major Lexus recall so I recommend searching the VIN to see if your car model has been impacted.

Luxury aesthetically pleasing compact car, could use more space inside though.
It is a luxury car. Very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The inside is nice and leather. Black on black. It is automatic and manual. It is a compact car, nice and small. The inside is compact. A little too compact for me. I rather there be more leg room in the back for the people back there. And I want more space in the console for cups and things. More cup holders would be nice. There is only one and it does not fit all sizes of cups.

I’d buy this car time and time again!
The Lexus is 350 AWD has great performance. It performs great in the snow and can handle the road without much issue. It is quick off the line and handles curves on the road exceptionally well! It is got all the comfort features that one could ever want, enough to spoil you.

Most luxurious, practical sports car ever.
The best vehicle I have ever had the good fortune. Excellence in performance, classic elegant style design, and more versatile than you might expect! I hope to never part with it, but I had to eventually, id buy the same vehicle all over again. Same color, white pearl, efficient convertible top, surprising trunk space.

It's a great balance of everything. This model has high resale value. The sport package for this model year of the IS350 is a rarity.
It's fast, reliable, with a great combination of sport and luxury styling. The seat stitching quality could use improvement. Even though the car is heavy, the 3.5L V6 makes it hard to even notice. This sport package is missing some luxury features like air conditioned seats and illuminated door sills but it is livable.

Power-packed bullet! Full of power with a smooth ride.
The car is fast and suspension tight; it handles really well. One thing I do not like is the noise that the brake pedal makes when you press it. I read on a few forums that this seems to be thing across Lexus models.

My review on the Lexus is 350.
It was a used car so the maintenance on it was not up to date. There was some problems when taking long car rides but was fixed when going to a repair shop. Cost was high on maintenance. It was comfortable and performance was good. It was very reliable and it is features are very modern for a car that was made about a decade ago.

Lexus two thousand eleven model 350es.
This car has great mileage, and drives very smooth. I have had it about a year and have had zero issues. Features heated and cooled seats, which is great for all seasons. Features cruise control that can be changed and turned off at anytime. Smooth leather interior.

We have a Lexus sedan, black, with leather seats.
We are happy with the car. The leather seats have held up very well and they are comfortable. We get good acceleration. There have been no failures of any major car parts. The paint is stable. There have been no major engine issues. We needed to change tires only once after 100m miles. The car gas usage meets the stated mpg. The ride is smooth. We have changed tires once. The radio and CD player have very good sound qualities. .

I love the look of it convertible and I love how smooth it drives.
I wish I had more room and I feel like it is too delicate to feel free to drive however I wish. The two doors is a bit of a struggle if I want to drive anyone more than just 2 people. I don't have room for anything in the back seat. However it runs great and I love the convertible and the look of the vehicle.
