there's always goin to be a better and/or quicker car for the money or for less money. remember, this is a luxury car. don't hate.
would have gotten an s4 over that thing any dayyyyyyy.. any day. or an sti jeez or an evo, even a mazda 6 speed n save the 20 grand. I mean im sure its a sweet car, but for 46k id want something with well a ****load more performance. cause thats wut i like to pay for, perf.
Not everyone wants performance. There comes a time in people's lives where priorities change. Yeah, you can buy a fkn pinto and spend a million on it and make it fast, but why would you?
I'm guessing he wanted something luxurious and kinda sporty.

Great buy. I looked into that but can't afford one. It's nice luxury ride. To the guy who said it sucks. He is just jealous. This is a luxury car not a sports car. Yes you can get an S4 instead but you won't be driving it since it will be in the shop most of the time.

If you work in the automotive repair industry you will see the nightmares with European cars as they age. BMW is not as bad but Mercedes, VW and Audi are bottom of the barrel in terms of reliability.
The IS is an awesome car. Definitely another great luxury car from Lexus. Not to mention it looks incredible and is very functional as well.
