My First IS300h

[Ace8800]

hello all,

Just wanted to share that I bought my first IS300h F Sport after a long debate with the Mrs if we should keep the RX450h. I've had plenty of Lexus's in the past and after going through all/majority of German brands, I'm sticking to Lexus. I've had numerous IS200 Sports, a IS220d Sport, a couple of IS-F's, GS300h F Sport, still got the RX (for now) and now my first IS300h F Sport.... and I really like it. not as spacious as the RX or GS obviously, but a very nice place to be in, the seats really wrap around you I must say and the chunky steering I've missed, I love the DRL's.

Looks great Ace 👍 

Interested to know how you find driving the IS compared to the other models you’ve driven.

Its firm compared to the GS300H F Sport, but not as firm as the ISF. I like the driving position, got that sporty feel you dont get in the GS, he GS was a F Sport, but sitting inside i didn't get the sport feel, more of a luxury feeling, but I must say i love the drive of a GS from all the ones i had in terms of smoothness and space, the RX is brilliant,  but you have to work with it to push it a little. 

I was surprised who quick the IS is, i though it would be a bit sluggish to take off.. but i was surprised.  Love the odo movement and LFA sport look and the noise in sports mode (even though its fake lol).

I'll give you more of a review after a few weeks of driving it.

Thanks @MadJam250.

It had to be either this grey with red or White with Red.. as much as i hated Grey, my last 3 out of 5 cars have been grey lol.
