It has good acceleration and has about 30 miles per gallon of gas. It has good space. The GPS installed into it helps a lot at times and it has Bluetooth to hook onto my phone. The skylight is also a fun extra, it is not necessary but it is nice to have on a sunny cool day.
Luxury interior leather seats, sporty acceleration and handling, roomy front seats and ample rear seats, fuel economy is great on the highway. Truck space is great for the car and it can fit two child seats in the rear.
This car is sporty and compact. The leather seats are nice in the model I have has a Bluetooth connection for phone calls. The navigation system is touch screen and allows you to switch between GPS, audio, and AC settings.
This vehicle is fast and luxurious. It is also great on gas and has minimal maintenance. I enjoy driving this vehicle because it makes me feel luxurious and sophisticated. Anyone looking to buy this vehicle will definitely enjoy it to the fullest.
Stereo system, many bells and whistles, head and air con seats, fast, spacious interior, 6 CD changer in dash, touch screen navigation system. I can get free car washes anytime, free loaner cars and Lexus has a fantastic customer lounge to hang out in.
The windshield wiper speeds are not very convenient. At times it is too fast and too slow, there is not really a speed that is in between that is just right for the showers I have had to go through. The sky light sometimes makes a weird noise if the air hits at a certain angle.
The car takes two different size tires for the front and rear which makes purchasing tires expensive. Also the ground clearance is really low which makes it very easy to scrape the front end of the car.
The dash on older Lexus models had a recall. If your vehicle was not fixed the dash will melt in the sun and be tacky/ scratch easily. The same material issue is present on the inside of each door and all will scratch easily. The car is fairly small and only has one AC port in the back that is not very strong.
One con would be that this car uses premium gas. For those that are on the go all of the time, this could be an expensive cost. If you are a person like me that does not go a lot of places, this car would be perfect for you.
Does not have the latest technology which I would love to have. There have been several recall notices on my car which I had to have fixed. There is an odor which developed over time upon fast acceleration which would be costly to repair.
The 2006 Lexus IS has an average owner rating of 4.43 out of 5 which ranks it #4 of 14 other Luxury Small Cars.
