• Outstanding driving dynamics, slick interior decor, competitive pricing.

• Small rear seat and trunk, not much storage space, styling more suited to baggy-panted masses.

  One happy IS owner - 2003 Lexus IS 300
  By happygolucky - September 16 - 2:00 am

  The drive to work is not quite as painful anymore. This car is so fun to drive. The drive is smooth, and very quiet. It handles bumps like a champ, and takes the corners beautifully. I love my car! Im one happy camper!

  Way better than a BMW - 2003 Lexus IS 300
  By kthakore - September 3 - 2:00 am

  Its simply awesome. I test drove the BMW 325CI but this car is way more fun to drive. It has a bigger engine, a lower sticker price and the Lexus nametag. The handling is awesome. Its just a joy to ride. If u r in the market for a BMW, test drive an IS and u will know what I am talking about. This car is the real deal.

  Grams fun car - 2003 Lexus IS 300
  By Unique in Omaha - August 8 - 8:20 am

  Since purchasing this car 18 mos. ago with 7000 mi on it, it has been one of the most fun, reliable cars I have ever owned. My grandchildren love riding in it and I can haul my plants and flowers with seats folded down. I get so many compliments on the looks, even from total strangers.

  A Different Breed of Lexus - 2003 Lexus IS 300
  By Modder - April 12 - 7:20 am

  I buy cars for their performance and moddability (and this car is very moddable having the Supras 2jz and all), but Ill rate this car from a consumers point of view, since you are probably interested in buying this car. This is not your average type of Lexus. Lexus are usually known for their comfort and amenities, but this car is different. The IS 300 was designed to compete with the 3 series, and that it does. This is a SPORT sedan, so it drives like one, do not buy this car expecting the usual laid back handling of the other cars in the Lexus fleet. This is definitely the car to buy, if you are looking for a RELIABLE car that will add some excitement to your daily commute to work.

  Funnest Wagon Ever - 2003 Lexus IS 300
  By Bertrand - March 10 - 2:00 am

  I bought my IS300 Sportcross about 10 months ago and have over 15,000 problem free miles. This cars engine gets stronger and stronger as it breaks in at it jumps off the line well. Just did a 14.83 second 1/4 mile at 95.66 mph. 0-60 mph was recorded at 6.54 (compared to the magazine/Lexus number of 7.4). My 0- 60 foot time was 2.257, better than I could manage with my 02 Corvette Z06 on the same night! We also own an 01 IS300 with 46,000 problem free miles. Great car

  Nothing but fun!!! - 2003 Lexus IS 300
  By javi01 - March 10 - 2:00 am

  From day one this car has been nothing but fun. It’s so much fun to drive that I think I’m addicted to taking unnecessary trips to the store. I expected a very good car bearing the Lexus name. I got even more than I expected. The IS fusses luxury, performance and value. Plus the great reliability of the proven 3.0L Lexus engine (Used in the GS300 as well) gives me peace of mind.
