Hey everyone
Literally got my first IS 250 an hour ago. Traded in my 08 335i (partially seem in the picture) and no ragrets...not even a letter. Lol.
Really love how smooth the car drives even though the power obviously isn't what the 335i is, I don't mind as much because I've had my fun in the 335i and my previous M3.

You might be down on power, but you're up on style...that black is looking shiny!

Hello Lexonians,
Just ended a 3 year lease on a 2016 ES 350. I stayed with Lexus of course, and this time it's the IS 350 F sport. AWD.
So far 500 miles. Seems to be a very interesting car, and very different from the ES 350

new owner of a '15 IS 250
Hello,
I just bought a 2015 IS 250, I have always had BMW 3 series and decided to go with this car, it is incredible the styling, comfort and inside and out, not to mention the smooth ride made the decision easy. I'm looking forward to the information in these forums!
- Obsidian Black
- Black interior
- Not sure if it's a base model, it was advertised as an Fsport Crafted line
- Windows tinted

Not many Craft Lines out there...but I believe those years the Craft Line's were white with black mirrors, door handles, etc.
Although we didn't get them in Canada, so I could be wrong.
Throw up some pics when you get a chance.

New IS 250 Owner
Hi Guys,
New 2015 IS250 F-Sport owner (Atomic Silver - "although I think its more of a gunmetal" w/ Roja Red interior) - recently traded in a 2103 Toyota Avalon.
This is my 2nd time owning a Lexus... my first was a 1993 GS300. She gave me 325k before it was time to let her go in 2009, so I know that the brand is very dependable if taken care of like as needed.
I've had the F-Sport for a little over a month. So far the only mod I tried was adding 20inch wheels. I went through a local rent to own shop just to get the a chance to see how the larger wheels would look and feel, before making a full commitment to a fully purchased set. Thank God I did it that way, because after 1 week, i was back on the stock 18". I've been reading the forum for a few weeks leading up to and after my purchase, to get an idea what this car can do (reliability, mods, etc.)
So tomorrow afternoon will be spent under the car installing the Invidia Q300. Cant wait to get this mod added on! Also looking forward to more info from the threads.

I think I answered that question on another post...or I'm having some serious de ja vu.
Based on that part number it was a no...it looks like that one was for RWD only.

First Time Lexus Owner
Hi there,
Purchased my first Lexus (2014 IS350 FSport)….. Although I have owned 4 Toyota Aurion's, here in Australia, so very familiar with the 3.5L V6. The car is completely stock. Looking forward to asking lots of questions and hopefully being able to contribute as I have been a long time car enthusiast with a fair bit of mechanical experience as result. Only looking to tint the windows and maybe a very modest exhaust, otherwise the car is great the way it is...… Regards, Danny
