Price of the Audi A5 / S5: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
20102dr Coupe turbocharged 211hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual AWD		More expensive than competitors
20092dr Coupe turbocharged 170hp 2.0L I4 Diesel
6-speed manual AWD		Price is too high. The quality of the car when taken to the test, does not justify the price.
20082dr Coupe 354-horsepower 4.2L V8
6-speed manual AWD		Expensive base price as compared to a 335i (but still less than a 650i). Horrible leasing factors leave buying as the only real option.
20082dr Coupe 265-horsepower 3.2L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		Too much money for some.

Available Features of the Lexus IS: Pros

2009 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 It's a Lexus and the interior finishes are nice for this price point.
2008 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 The IS250 all wheel drive has been flawless in 6100 miles (to date) in fit and finish.
2008 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6

2007 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 The doors close like a refrigerator, seriously.
2007 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6

2002 4dr Wagon 215-horsepower 3.0L I6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 No rattles! Doors solid and heavy. Gearshift lever has satisfying snick. Germanic feeling buttons and switches for a Japanese car. Good quality paint, wheels, etc. No steering, suspension or driveline wear is noticeable to date.
Materials and Workmanship of the Lexus IS: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 This is the Achilles heel to Lexus. The 2009 RX 350 and now our 2010 IS 250 both have lousy build and workmanship. Cheap, pieces falling off, cheesy interior. Very inferior to many other vehicles in same league. Last several years quality has cratered
2007 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 The leather was not as soft as in our previos Lexus. There is no wood trim. It is simply not as refined as Lexus is with most of their vehicles.
