Well there is the 350.
Dont see how someone could complain knowing the got the less sportier version of a car. Thats like buying a 328i and being upset it doesnt perform well. You should know what you are getting into. Thats why theres car review sites and forums.

Was going to get a new IS250 a few weeks ago and then i said to myself "why?" New is cool and all but i didn't see it being worth all that money. So, went to my boy and copped an 08 IS350 with a few interior upgrades. Has everything i need in a car. And if i wanted to, i can add any of the F sport extras later on.

Would've rather gotten a new C class IMO. I've been looking at the IS250's as well. I think that Lexus is just going down hill man as far as overall designs go. Although their numbers are steady climbing, I feel like their cars just don't look that good anymore.

How are you gonna buy a 40k car then complain about its 204 HP like you didn't know that going in

But the car is 5-6 years old now, when it first came out, the 204hp was just about 20 less than the 328i. It was also on par/had the same power as the A4 and C-Class, only the G35 had an overwhelming power advantage at about 300hp. And no it does not cost the same, the IS250 is full of options while a comparable BMW would cost at least an extra $5k to get the same options.
The IS250 did come with a manual, the IS350 didn't. Not sure if that has all changed now.
You can kick the tail out if you turn off the traction control/VSC all the way off, in the IS250 I believe you have to hold the traction control button until it lights up in the in the dash.
And paying $41k for an IS250?
Should have gotten an IS350 for that price.

I have a 2012 IS250 F-Sport, why is that dude hating? I knew what I was getting into, I wanted a overall nice car instead of a speed demon, if he wanted speed, he couldve bought a Mustang for 22K with more 100HP. That guy is just a dumbass

dudes dumb. should have just bought an EVO then. IS250 is a great car for what it is.

On another note though, Lexus needs to redesign this asap, and im sure they are. Isnt it debuting soon? I feel like this generation IS has been out for YEARS. Im guessing 6+?
that dude is ******ed as hell srs
brb lowest model and expects it to be fun
brb 40k for the lowest model :x
brb bought a lexus and expected it to be a fun car when he knew he couldve gotten a WRX/Evo etc instead
bruh for 40-45k you can find an M3 with around 30k miles on it

The lack of manual transmission in luxury cars kills me. Yes, I know they are out there, but tougher to find. , lazy Americans...

Wouldn't a simple test drive and quick look at the specs let the person know this isn't the car for them.

Stupid article to say the least. OP, you agree with it all? Why? This guy talks like Lexus promised him something more than they delivered. Son has no right to complain whatsoever.
Article is actually kinda disgusting to me.... If there's one thing I don't like, it's a grown person that doesn't take responsibility for their actions, and this guy is that. It's one thing to criticise Lexus for making an underperforming car, but it's another thing to complain about yourself buying an underperforming machine that you were fully aware of when you bought it.
Again, disgusting.

Agreed. The IS350 and ISF should have had a manual ****** as standard, then again I am not sure if the ISF is meant for a 6-speed manual ******, I think the new 7-gear manual ****** just started coming out this year. Either way, I think for the ISF, the ****** should be manual or dual clutch auto.
