Oscarv : just drive a Mazda rx8 and you will find that there are even better handling cars than BMW, and it is a true BMW fan that is telling you that !
BMW is great and the Lexus IS is what approaches much the 3 series to me !
@erlmangrl O MY FRIEND TRUST ME, BUT EVEN THOUGH WE ARE STILL IN THE "90'S" NO CAR HAS EVER PASSED US IN HANDLING (TURNS, CORNERS, YOU NAME IT) SUSPENSION, COMFORT, JOY OF RIDING, SPORTY LOOKING, IT'S JUST SIMPLE THE ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE TRUST ME. I OWN A 1,3, 7 SERIES, AND A M3 AND WOW THERE'S NO OTHER "CAR" (LEXUS, MERCEDES, AUDI..........................................................) THAT CAN GET THIS CLOSE TO THIS BEAUTY?
@erlmangrl I KNOW THAT NOBODY TOLD ME, WHAT I'M JUST TRYING TO PROVE IS THAT ONCE YOU GET INTO A BMW THERE'S NO WAY YOU'LL FIND ANOTHER CAR THAT HANDLES SO SMOOTH, AND EVEN THOUGH IF I WOULD OF BOUGHT AN ASTON MARTIN V12 VANTAGE, OR A MURCIELAGO, FOR ME, I WOULDN'T FEEL THE SAME SATISFACTION THAT A BMW HAS, AND OF COURSE A LOT CHEAPER.
@erlmangrl What a stupid comment from a stupid person. If you judge a car by how gauges jump around when you start it, then you know nothing about cars. Lexus is crap in comparison to BMW. If you disagree, you again show that you know nothing about cars. Its a fact, sorry.
@derbigpr500 ok clever boy tell me BMW innovations in the last 10 years. OH yes efficient dynamics Lexus had it for 10 years now, self park system (lexus have it since 2003) hybrid (lexus have it since 2001). and you say bmw is better wtf. STUPIDO.
@erlmangrl I'm not even gonna bother talking to someone as stupid as you. All BMW models are 10 years ahead of all Lexus models. Thats a fact. If you wanna know why do some research, i dont wanna waste my time for you.
@erlmangrl You obviously dont know what makes a good car. I'm gonna compare IS and 3 series. 3 series is smaller on the outside but has a lot more room inside, its drive much better, it handles much better, its better built, it has more equippement, MUCH better engines, much better gearboxes, better sound insulation, bigger boot, looks better inside and out (no shitty fake red wood, and 1980's digital clocks on an ugly dash full of buttons and lit up like a christams tree)...want me to go on?
@derbigpr500 bro i have 320i 2008 and it spends more oil then petrol so cut the crap. BMW never again. for 2 year old car service cant fix my central lock (doesnt work), and when i saw my brother IS250, BMW never again. Wont me to go on. for the same money he get 5 year waranty and i get 2 wtf.
Also more equip. for same money and bigger engine.
How can car look better when they didnt change design for 20 years now.
@erlmangrl What do you mean they didnt change the design for 20 years? 3 series is the best looking small saloon ever, it has perfect saloon proportions, while the IS looks too fat and chubby.
@erlmangrl Oh, and did I mention better fuel consumption on BMW, less CO2, less money for taxes.... Lexus doesnt have a single car model thats better than equivalent BMW model. Hybrid? Who needs a hybrid. Hybrids are for stupid people who dont realize that when you take into account how much pollution production of hybrid car makes, you're better off with buying a petrol car. And hybrids dont consume less fuel either. Drive an M3 next to Prius, and Prius will spend more fuel at same speed.
@erlmangrl And the worst thing about Lexus is design. They're trying to look luxurious on the inside, but they fail hardly. Japanese think that luxury mean lots of buttons (that could all be replaced with an intelligent solution iDrive like in BMW), lots of different lights, etc. All Lexus cars just look too japanese on the inside. Well built? Ye. Good materials used? Yea. But all together it doesnt look elegant at all.
Took one for a test drive today, was a bit dissappointed with the auto. Feels sluggish without the power button engaged, why do they put it there in the first place????? I mean come on its not like its an M5!!! The paddle shift is non-responsive, it swore by third even though I wanted 4th. But all together a lovely package, believe the stick shift would be the way to go!!! Cheaper and better... woohoo
This is standard on all Lexus IS "2nd generation" :-) It's nothing more than just for fun, I guess Lexus had to do something special because of the special look of the odo in the 1st generation IS.
i love it !

Who would compare an IS to an M5? Anyway, the M5 is a very exciting car. The M5 should be compared to the IS-F, not this IS250 model...
