Overview & Reviews
Lexus continues to change gears, moving away from single-minded relentless pursuits of perfection to chase performance. The new IS 300, complete with rear-wheel drive and a 215-horse inline six, chases the BMW 3 Series in the entry luxury sport marketplace, and will continue to do so until a proper manual transmission is available.
- Near ideal weight distribution, slick interior decor, competitive pricing.
- No manual transmission, small rear seat, lacking a telescoping steering column.

eh. - 2001 Lexus IS 300
By tonytan12 - December 23 - 2:00 amits not anything like any bmw ever. The acceleration isnt that great for the 3000ccs of displacement. And for getting that bad of gas mileage, it should be faster. It does handle good, and the design is nice, but if you have the money, go with the bmw.
