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.

  fun to drive, eager to run. lots of power, high fidelity road noise. You will eventually understand why someone said its a sports car for the Nintendo generation. The value seems to be on the short end, the underlying Toyota Altezza personality shows. Shouldnt I get a something else for the money?

  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!

  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.
