I love my 2006 Lexus. It is sporty, fun to drive and really no major issues with it being almost 12 years old. For me it is comfortable, though my husband feels like it is too small inside. You can not fit a large family for sure, but ours is small. It is also very sporty. My only complaint is the material they used for the dashboard and driver and passenger side doors. It is a black material, almost sticky. And it leaves marks when you open the door or touch the dashboard. I never received a recall but heard from friends there was one. Lexus dealership said it was over last year. I have yet to follow up with Lexus and go above the dealer.

The Lexus IS 250 has been a nearly flawless car. It is comfortable, performs well, fun to drive and has been extremely reliable. In addition, it is a great looking car. At ten years old it drives like new. The paint still looks deep and glossy. Mechanically there have been very few problems over the last decade. If kept well maintained it will likely last for another hundred thousand miles. The interior is still almost flawless. The coach leather seats look like they could be new. While this cannot be considered a sports car, it accelerates and handles well. It is one of the few cars in its class that is rear wheel drive. Considering its sportiness, the car gets a respectable MPG. Overall, this has been a fantastic car that balances reliability and driving joy.
