I had a good time leasing the IS250 while it lasted. However, I didn't think it was worth the cost. Acceleration and power felt adequate, but others in the class such as BMW 328i would be much faster. Handling was good, the interior was very upscale, and the ride was smooth. This is where the IS250 shined. However, it is expensive and unless you have too much money to spend, I would have felt better about driving an accord.

The 2015 Lexus IS250 is a very simple and reliable entry level luxury compact car. Small, and agile, this is more of a city car. Squeezing into tight parking spaces is a good attribute of this car. Handling is great in all weather, due to its all wheel drive option.
