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.
2002 4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Lexus, need I say more? Feels like a much more expensive vehicle.
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.
