    Opinions Needed

    in Lexus IS 250 / IS Turbo / IS300 / IS350 / F Sport Club

    Hi all,


    Now that the 3rd generation IS has been out for a while, I was hoping to get a sense of the likes and dislikes of the car. My mom has a 2012 Camry and I love the performance of the 6-speed transmission, which I believe is the same used in the IS. I know the engines are different, but is the shifting quality good? Do these have a lot of rattles and squeaks? Is the 250 model underpowered? Also, is the satellite radio a Sirius or XM unit? I know it's the same company, but the Sirius units seem to have awful sound quality whereas the XM units do not.


    Thanks!

    Is 350 Awd Feedback

    in 07 - 13 Lexus IS250 / IS350 / IS-F

    Hi everyone,

    I'm a new member here and was hoping to get some feedback or advice. I'm thinking of trading in later this year and considering a 2011-2013 IS350 AWD with automatic, xenons, and navigation.

    Two of my biggest pet peeves are: 1) squeaks and rattles; and 2) unrefined transmission performance.

    Can you give me a sense for how solid these are and if the automatic shifts smoothly? What are some of the weaknesses of these cars I should be aware of?

    I'd be trading from a 2010 Acura TL, which has one of the most unrefined automatic transmissions in history.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Mike
