The dark red interior is surprisingly a very nice color.
The car has a very sleek and sporty appearance. Its performance is top notch with an incredible 300+ horsepower AWD. Since it is a used car, the brake rotors are broken and shakes when slowing down at high speeds. The interior is spacious, luxurious, and has many utilities for comfort such as heated seats, powerful air conditioning, a moon roof, and extra cup holders and armrest in the back seats. There is also an option of putting down the back seats to increase trunk space.

Bluetooth, leather seats, moonroof.
I have had very few problems. I cannot even think of one major one. As long as you get new tires, new battery when needed keep everything tuned up the car will last it still drives like it is new off the lot. I absolutely love this vehicle and would purchase again.

Vehicle made just for you.
Vehicle has a smooth and sleek interior. Leather seats are very comfortable with great adjustable features. Sound system in vehicle is great the sound, such as the bass and treble is also adjustable. Overall this vehicle is customizable to your own needs. Performance of vehicle is great no matter what the roads are like.

2016 Lexus is350 f sport review: the car is very reliable and is comfortable.
No problems with the car. Reliability is very good, ride is very comfortable and the car is fully loaded. GPS, sound system, heated and cooled leather seats. The car should be fueled with premium unleaded. Performance of the car is good, I wish it had a little more horsepower though.

It is reliable transportation and dependable, and it looks good.
It is a nice car which has features that make it comfortable since it is considered a luxury car. It is easy to drive, but the ride seems not to be as smooth as it should be.

Great all around car for having fun.
One of the best all around cars there is. Very comfortable interior, and also outstanding performance. Great for cruising on the highway or having fun on the backroads. Only complaint is that the tires tend to wear down faster than on most cars. Thanks!

Interior vs exterior review.
Smooth car with nice body shape. Enjoy the music system and the multiple modes of driving. Could improve software to include apple play. Also, changing the LCD screen to those of BMW models would make the car more modern on the interior. Overall great exterior but could use improvement on the interior.

Great zippy small sedan!
This car a is built for reliability, durability, and power. It has very good power to get up and go. It handles great and the ride quality feels good. To me it feels more like a little sports car than a sedan and it's very fun to drive. I have the F Sport model and I'm very happy with it.

Negative Owner Reviews

Not happy with the car. Wish I had never leased it.
The inside of the car is not ergonomic. The cup holder is too far back. There is no storage in the middle console. The back seat only fits 2 passengers comfortably. When it rains & the door opens, rain always pours into the car from the door jambs. The mouse is too sensitive.

Love my car! You will not regret it.
The car is super comfy! I love the way the seats hug me. It has never once struggled to get up and go, it is like my own little race car. I like the sleek design and the seat warmers, and a/c seats are so helpful for hotter and colder seasons! The stereo works great and the trunk it surprisingly big. The only issues I have at with size and the brakes. It can be a tight fit. The issue with the breaks is that they squeak when it is super cold, but that is normal for a Lexus.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Debra H.

My Lexus is very comfortable to drive in, especially on long trips. I love the heated seats and also like the option of the cooling seats when its hot. My car is easy to maneuver around the streets. I especially like the light up warnings on my side mirrors to alert a car is coming.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Debra H.

Although my Lexus is great, it is a bit pricey. My husband is tall so an option with no sunroof would be nice. You can only buy a basic model with no sunroof. Why not offer that option with a more loaded vehicle.
