Worst car purchase I've ever made
Cannot recommend. Transmission issue, electrical fault that stranded me, engine warning light dealer cannot diagnose. Every visit takes a week. I had high expectations. Avoid.

Decent, but not outstanding
Solid car that does its job without exciting me. Ride comfortable, easy to drive, safety features work well. Interior materials feel a step below the price point, engine noisy when pushed. Reliable but not class-leading.

Picked up my 2021 Lexus IS and have zero complaints. Build quality is exceptional, driving experience puts a smile on my face every commute. Fuel economy beats EPA estimates. Highly recommend.

Just had my 2021 Lexus IS valued after three years — depreciation far lower than I budgeted. Trouble-free ownership. A genuinely smart long-term buy.

The 2021 Lexus IS is competent transportation. Nothing went wrong, nothing impressed me either. If you just need a reliable appliance this will serve you fine. If you want something engaging, look elsewhere.

The chassis is genuinely sorted — accurate steering, good body control, and an engine that's eager rather than just adequate. Great seats, solid visibility, and enough tech to feel modern. Makes you look f…

I was sceptical about the 2021 Lexus IS when I ordered it — felt like I was playing it safe rather than exciting myself — but a year in I'm genuinely impressed. Far more refined than I expected, the seats are comfortable over long distances, and not one unexpected thing has gone wrong. Knocked a sta…

Just returned from a 1,200-mile round trip in our 2021 Lexus IS with two children and a labrador. Couldn't have asked for a better companion. Boot swallowed everything we packed, rear passenger space was comfortable even for a ten-hour day, and the fuel stops were infrequent. Kids slept most of the …
