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

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

  Im VERY happy. - 2003 Lexus IS 300
  By DPhillips - June 12 - 5:26 am

  I knew when I bought my car I was going to love it. I have always liked Lexus vehicles and I have not been disappointed. This car is obviously marketed towards the 21-25 age demographic (a demographic that I am no longer in). Im sure eventually Ill upgrade to a bigger car, but Im confident that it will be a Lexus as well.

  Perfect Sports Sedan - 2003 Lexus IS 300
  By Jaytoez - May 27 - 2:00 am

  This car is the perfect balance of quality, value, style and performance. If you are looking for a 4-door that will turn heads but not break your wallet paying for options, the IS300 is the one.

  By mik - March 2 - 2:00 am

  Wow great car for the money. My freind bought a 3-SERIES about the same time I bought my IS 300 his car has been in the shop 4 times for warranty repairs mine has not been in at all.Thats a good feeling because I was thinking of buying one before I settled on the Lexus.It really Handles well in any condition I would recomend this car to anyone except maybe somone who likes to visit their dealership on a regular basis.

  add those turbos - 2003 Lexus IS 300
  By Aaron J. Lexus - January 14 - 2:00 am

  The 5-speed is definitely the way to go. Add aftermarket air induction, a turbo, and a back-cat exhaust. This alone will up the performance value to a 10. I want to directly port a 50- shot or 100-shot bottle of NOS on mine for some real big horse power gains. Some aftermarket turbos, although reaching about $6,000, offer a boost of up to 500 horse power! Improved handling and a slammed stance can be found in an AEM suspension system. I would think that this car would have a little more room in the cabin since it is a sedan. And Ive always liked 2 door coupes so much more. Its still really phat for being a Lexus.

  Reliable - 2003 Lexus IS 300
  By Reliable - October 3 - 11:40 am

  Love the car. Bought it with 15K on it and its got just over 80K now. Sporty, handles great, looks great but most of all its reliable. In 65K miles of driving, I have had to do squat to the car other than oil and change the tires. Obvious normal maintenance but still havent needed brakes, belts are getting ready but no mechanical problems at all. Especially the A/C - works like a champ and still freezes me out.

  Never had a problem - 2003 Lexus IS 300
  By Z - July 31 - 12:20 pm

  This car is the most fun I ever had. I only changed the oil and air filter in 3 years. Other than that it is the most reliable car I ever had.
