Expert Rating:

“Not only are the limits of adhesion now achievable, but those limits are much higher than before thanks to myriad changes in suspension configuration. The F handles far better than its immediate predecessor…”

“A luxury car with some sport pretensions, the 2011 Lexus IS 350 is very satisfying to drive.”

“To energize your driving, a 6-speed, manual transmission puts this 2.5 liter, 204hp sedan on the same map as BMW’s 3 Series.”

“I was recently able to lay my hands on a 2009 Lexus IS-F in eye-popping Ultrasonic Blue. Since the IS-F is touted as an M3 killer, I decided to bring along an M3 during our evaluation in order to determine how the Lexus compared to the benchmark BMW”

“A really well-prepared teriyaki sauce can take ordinary beef and make it extraordinary, which is exactly the case with the Lexus IS-F.”
