Overview & Reviews

On the outside, look for a new wheel design and smoked surrounding trim for the headlights and taillights. Inside, Lexus has added a memory function for the driver seat, a maintenance indicator light, a new storage compartment on the dash (for cars without the navigation system) and new trim highlights.

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

• Small rear seat and trunk, not much storage space, styling could be "tragically hip" by some accounts.

  Its a lexus? its not a lexus family - 2004 Lexus IS 300
  By ShoeBox - February 26 - 10:00 am

  If you can afford IS300, Im pretty sure you have many other car to buy. I already bought IS300 on 2001, I didnt have that choice back then. IS300 looked the best at that time, but now If you want to buy a new IS300, I dont think you should consider getting one. Why? The seat lumbar support sucks for 6 ft tall people. Its too low. Its too small. Handling is okay. Engine is good, but for that low hp with the bad gas milleage, thats a big no no. Small power with crazy gas milleage? You should consider about that. You can buy Acura TL, Infinity G35 coupe, Audi A4, Saab 9-3, etc. I regret buying IS300.

  Lexus IS300 5M 2003 - 2004 Lexus IS 300
  By John Peabody - April 27 - 10:00 am

  Have owned 16 months and thoroughly enjoy driving it. The pros greatly outweigh the cons. Purchased over Acure CL Type S because if it greater manoeverability (turning circle 35 instead of 40) and better deal from dealer. A combination of the Acura engine an smoother manual shifter in the Lexus body would have been ideal.

  Love It - 2004 Lexus IS 300
  By Gema - January 25 - 1:03 am

  After driving a honda accord for seven years I decided I wanted a new car. After looking at the BMW 3 series and Audi A4 I went to look at a Lexus ES. Once inside I saw the IS and I said that is the car I want.

  For the price that I paid, it was well worth it. The car handles well and has comfort.

  ANNOYING TRANSMISSION HESITATION - 2004 Lexus IS 300
  By e. marks - April 30 - 10:00 am

  The handling is extremely capable for sporty driving and the brakes are unrivaled. The power is adequate and smooth, though it tends to lug a little at lower RPMs. The E-shift allows only limited control over shifting (gears 2-5) and far too often down- shifts on its own. A HESITATION PROBLEM occurs in many IS300s as a result of the vehicles ICU (onboard computer) malfuntioning -- a major issue considering it is not detectable during the intial test drive, gets progressively worse, and according to Lexus, is not correctable.
