<div dir="ltr">I got to drive an IS250 on an auto-x course at one of those Lexus events where I also drove the IS F after sitting shotgun on a couple laps by Jeff Andretti at Summit Point. Very memorable day! I even looked into an IS250 manual shift afterwards.. guess they did their marketing right, though I could not quite pull the trigger.<div>

And Im very ambivalent about subsequent versions of the IS.<br>

<pre>Scored a cheap '02 Lexus IS300 in 2013 after many B13-less years. Torque. Correct-wheel drive. Toyota reliability and cheap parts should it need fixin'. Apparently "luxury" cars depreciate quite quickly and if you're not into the snobbery of new-car you can get a lot for the bucks.
