Hello fellow Lexus and IS enthusiast.

Just recently purchased this F-sport IS 350 fully loaded for the wifey. I'm not really an import guy but my wife likes to enjoy reasonably nice cars to drive. She leaving the Mini crowd to into this IS F-sport. Pleasantly surprised with the cars overall performance and the interior appointments are very nice especially the factory ML sound system.

Mod bug in full affect and already got my sights set on an intake & exhaust and a few exterior mods and or the skipper body kit!

Looking forward to talking and learning more about this car.

Good choice over Q50. I once was in that situation and chose the IS-F and didn't regret any part of it.

Hello Everyone! New Lexus owner here! Bought myself a 2014 IS 250 F sport, White Starfire Pearl exterior and black interior! I am in love with this car! I just came from a BMW E46 which died on me a month ago, transmission blew out! I decided to go JDM and got myself a sexy and reliable Lexus!

Noob here, 2014 Lexus is250 AWD. My first luxury vehicle, love how comfortable the car is , how it handles and how quiet is compare to my Evo 10 lol. Only thing I wish it was turbo like the new 2016 IS250 but I think that isn't AWD? Anyway I'm here to learn on this new platform 😎

Hello. After weeks of reading, I finally pull the trigger and got myself a 2016 IS300 F Sport, Obsidian with Black NuLuxe. Can't wait to be over with the break-in period.

What's up everyone, just want to introduce myself. I'm a first time Lexus owner, just traded in my A5 for a 2016 IS300. Previous rides were a 300zx, couple of Audi's, 350z and a Range Rover. The car definitely feels solid and well put together but is lacking on power for sure. Looking forward to learning more about the chassis, cheers.

The obsidian is definitely a nice color but the white has always popped out at me in these cars. Only thing I would have done differently is held out for the red interior as opposed to the flaxen color that mine has

Welcome! Gorgeous color! I was going to replace my Turanzas as well, but I'm going to get 20s soon!
