Overview & Reviews
Other than having some new wheel designs, the IS 300 is unchanged this year.
- Outstanding driving dynamics, slick interior decor, competitive pricing.
- Small rear seat and trunk, not much storage space, styling more suited to baggy-panted masses.

2nd IS300 - 2003 Lexus IS 300
By vlad_a - December 17 - 10:00 amCar enthusiast... I just purchased my second IS300. Manual this time, only auto was available in 2001. This is an amazing vehicle. Handling is great and predictable, styling is perfect. For those complaining about bad handling in snow - get snow tires!

Impressed so far - 2003 Lexus IS 300
By kfrost - November 9 - 2:00 amThe person who claimed it is a clone of a BMW and they should have gotten one dont know where you are coming from. If anybody is comparing its performance hp wise its between the 325 and 330. Handling and precision of steering in my opinion equals either one of BMWs and then at 7k less than the 325 theres not really a comparison unless you donating an extra 7k. Also, the people giving 1s after the first day, I dont care what the product when you produce thousands of something with thousands of parts there are going to be problems from time to time. I hope you get taken care of and repost with the service you recieved during this time.

Lexus....baby! - 2003 Lexus IS 300
By Altezza - November 9 - 2:00 amGreat car, and as you can see by the fake lexus owners (probably own a bmw) ratings, the is300 scares them because the handling of this japanese import is near their bimmers quality. Handling is great, those who hate it are just jealous =P

Whats not to like with the IS-300 - 2003 Lexus IS 300
By Runner26 - October 30 - 10:00 amIts a fine typical well built Japanese car and its what youd expect from Lexus. Ive driven BMWs and was not impressed with the quality or reliablity...for the $$. The IS-300 is soft, smooth, and quiet. The audio package is really fine too!

NOT a bad car - 2003 Lexus IS 300
By EvilJ - September 28 - 2:00 amFirst of all, I would like to make some comments to people who dont like the car: 1) Its a Lexus, but its not supposed to be luxurious; its a sports sedan. If you want a luxurious interior, buy an ES300. 2) You can get it with all leather seats, so thats your mistake if you dont like the partial leather seats. I have had no trouble with my IS300. I expect Lexus quality and thats what I get. The car is very fun to drive!

I love this car! - 2003 Lexus IS 300
By Nickel - September 22 - 2:00 amThis car has satisfied every penny that I have spent on it, especially its style. The headlights and the tail lights just amaze me every time I see them. In fact, everyday I cant wait till it gets dark just to have a reason to turn them on. The interior maybe a bit small, but what do you expect from a luxury compact sport sedan? The orange dashboard lights against the black really looks good too. The car rides very smoothly and nimbly through the forest of cars on the highway at rush hour. Overall, I think this is a better buy than a BMW 3 or a Mercedes C.

Sportcross 1 year review - 2003 Lexus IS 300
By JoeyL - August 11 - 2:00 amFor a station wagon, it is at the top of its class. It hauls whatever I need it to and is comfortable for my whole family. Its too early to tell, but the reliability rating seems good, and Lexus was one of the best rated for this. I considered the BMW but too many friends have multiple problems with theirs. Reliability is my most important factor.

Great Car - 2003 Lexus IS 300
By Ron. K - June 29 - 2:00 amOur family buys only stick shifts because they are fun and so much more responsive. We were attracted to The Lexus for its small size and the Lexus reputation for service. Before the test drive we had no clue that it would be such a hoot to drive. It is responsive, comfortable, quiet and solid. The only drawback was that it made the choice of a second car much more difficult as we were spoiled.
