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.

  Retired teachers dream car - 2004 Lexus IS 300
  By icirttu - June 12 - 2:00 am

  As a retired teacher, parkability, fuel economy, safety, reliability, capacity and comfort are important. The zippy performance and quick brakes get me out of tight spots. I can park it anywhere; the steering is responsive, and I can park in any compact space. Ive had the car for three months and Im still on my second tank of gas. I recently moved a couple of large boxes which fit in the SportCross just as easily as in my daughters RX300. Interior trim is great,lots of fitted extras. A great buy for anyone who wants a manageable, economical, safe vehicle with more than a bit of style.

  IS300 is amazing - 2004 Lexus IS 300
  By Mattrre - January 24 - 10:00 am

  This car is amazing in every respect compared to its competition (G35, A4, 325, c230, etc). Although it is not as powerful as some in this list, it makes up for it in superior handling, better brakes, and a much more beautiful design, inside and out. Since these are not top sellers in this country, you can easily find one fairly affordable and at the same time have a car that you dont see everyday (like the 325i). I bought mine for 33k black/black auto with navigation. This car could easily go for 30k or lower. I suggest you check this out if you are looking for a car in the 30k price range. Also, this is the most relibable lexus.

  Tight vehicle, no rattles, fun to drive, looks great. Could use a little more power as usual.

  Best of both worlds. - 2004 Lexus IS 300
  By Skip Martin - January 24 - 10:00 am

  I really wanted to get a sports car (Im 53yrs old), but didnt want to look like the old dude going through a mid-life crisis. This IS 300 with the 5-speed is the absolute answer. Now all the young kids say "kewl man" and all the old folks say "hey, nice car"!! Not only is it a delight to drive, its a sound investment, as the blue book value remains relatively high for a longer period of time. Thanks Lexus!!!! Sincerely, TD (Skip) Martin (Old dude having fun)

  I absolutely love this car. I sell cars and get to test drive all sorts of vehicles. This is by far the best bang for the buck.

  Love this car! - 2004 Lexus IS 300
  By Lindsay Lexus - December 13 - 10:00 am

  I am an absolute Lexus convert - there is nothing more fun than driving this car. Living in teh city, I didnt was a mid-size car; I preferred to have something more compact, but I wanted a sporty sedan with a luxury feel and thats exactly what I got. Its stylish and peppy, but has luxury components.

  By d-squared - September 30 - 2:00 am

  great automobile...smoooth and quick acceleration. most fun to drive on the highway, with its quick response and go cart-like handling. exhaust has a nice growl. this is not a tall person automobile however, 6ft+ will have a difficult time feeling comfortable (being short does have some advantages.)

  By Teri?tqueenfroggy - September 24 - 2:00 am

  I really love my Lexus IS 300! It is a great car, the best I ever had. The interior is so neat. I have the sport and it is really cute. It rides so smooth.

  Want BMW performance with reliability? - 2004 Lexus IS 300
  By Tom - August 25 - 12:26 pm

  This car has superb handling as it almost begs to be thrown around. The fuel economy leaves much to be desired but if you cared about gas then you would have bought a Prius. Styling is very good, but the interior instrument panel could be sleeker. This car definitely turns heads, more so than a 325i. I wanted a sports sedan with actual reliability and you cannot go wrong here. This is my first Lexus purchase and I believe I will stick with them after being very satisfied with my IS 300.
