2008 Lexus IS 250 consumer reviews

Awesome car, would love to keep it. Very sharp and reliable. Just need to get something bigger. Whoever gets it will be happy.

I purchased it preowned. Reason - I needed AWD, I wanted a sedan and a somewhat small size for parking and maneuverability ease. Small, yes but also cramped. Cannot reach one thing without having to reach around another. Lighting is dim and cannot see some controls that at a level lower than steering wheel. I bought a small LED light, which I keep clipped on to the side compartment in the door, which I have to turn on. Doors do not open wide and it is difficult getting purchases in. This miserable little car is a V6 and calls for super gas and gives me 18 mpg in town and has a very rough ride. Can feel every bump in the road. I had a Honda Civic several years ago which was the same size. It was spacious and gave none of the cramped feeling. This fooled me into buying this car. I sometimes wonder if it is really made by Lexus or by Chevy for Lexus. It has had some expensive mechanical problems that I would not expect in a Lexus with 105,000 miles.

I've had my 2008 Lexus IS250 for 3 years and it's been holding up well. Maintaining it is a little expensive and make sure you keep 93 gas in it! I've had some fuel issues. It is a bumpy ride so the right tires will make it a smooth ride. Other than that the car is cool and small sized I wouldn't recommend this car to be a family car

Sedan luxury with sport handling; moderate gas mileage and dependable. Drives well in all weather conditions.

This car is one of the most reliable cars my family or I have ever owned. Although it is quite small, it still has plenty of storage space throughout the car. The back seat is small but has enough leg room for short road trips, where the passengers will not feel claustrophobic. This car has a great navigation system with an excellent sound system. The IS 250 has ok power but could have more, unlike the IS 350 which has much more. This car also gets pretty good gas mileage (around 24 in the city and 29 on the highway). Overall, I would highly recommend this Lexus IS 250 .

mine is 2008 IS250 AWD , i drive fast and feel safe, only 21 MPG, comfortable , the proof of that Lexus is made by only Toyotas best workers.

This vehicle is very realiably, comfortable. Good on gas and drives very smooth. I will recommend it to anybody who wats to drive a luxury and affordable car. This is my second lexus and cant complain about it.

the car is ten years old however it runs like it was just one year old. I really like it we just bought it a month ago.

This is my first Lexus, and the best car I've ever owned. Very reliable, with many features. I am 6' tall so there isn't a lot of head room, but I like the snug and sporty fit. Very good sound when you add a cold air intake, great performance and gas mileage. The back up camera is very clear.

I love this car. It is great for one or two people, gets a little small when you consider trying to fit people in the back seat though.
