    I love this car. Its more fun than I deserve.

  • Great Car - 2003 Lexus IS 300

    A great car for the $$$. My car history started out with a small Toyota truck for 2 yrs., a 94 T-Bird for 3, I went through 2 VW Jettas over the course of 6 yrs., and now have advanced to the SportDesign IS300. It is amazingly smooth, and hugs the road like a glove. The auto-shifting is seamless, comfortable seating, and superb sound system, comparable to JBL or Bose.

    Not had one problem with my IS 300. Once I get in, it is hard for me to get out. Love it so much I could not get rid of it to get one of the new 2006 IS 350s. No matter if it is the gas station or a stop light people are complimenting me on it all the time. The only negative thing I have to say about the car is that the back seat lacks room. Over all I think it is one of the best cars out today. Love the car more then life itself.

    I just got my IS300 5 months ago and love it. I am actually 18 and have 4 friends with one, and I have never heard a complaint. The E-shift almost makes it feel like you are actually shifting, and when your not it is so smooth. NICE!

    Excellent car. Only complaint is alignment doesnt hold for very long if you use the car as designed

  • IS 300 - none better in its class - 2003 Lexus IS 300

    Excellent handling and great acceleration. The dash gauges are like no other car. Built solid and lets face it its a Lexus. I have had for over a year and I love it. It can run with any car in its class.

  • No destination needed, just roads - 2003 Lexus IS 300

    Take this to a twisty mountain road, then you know why youll stay off the interstate whenever possible. the steering is fast but accurate. limited body rolls let you challenge each corner with confidence. Because of its extremely effective brakes, you get to explore the full potential of the engines wide and linear power band.

    I LOVE THIS CAR.. I LOVE THE WAY IT HANDLES.. I LOVE THE PERFORMANCE.. AND I LOVE THE LOOK

  • Love The IS - 2003 Lexus IS 300

    Amazing to drive. There is only one thing that I would improve on this wonderful vehicle and that is its horsepower. Fortunatly the IS430 will be here soon enough. If everyone drove an IS I think the road would be a lot safer; sincerely. It feels like I have a less margin of human error when I drive my IS.
