Lexus ISF used review | 2008-2013 - Cars Guide

Mr Zo is interested in buying a used Lexus ISF, but because they are quite expensive he wants to be careful and know what he's getting into. He wants to know about common problems, servicing expenses, and the cost of parts etc. Since beginning with a single luxury model in the 1990s Lexus has grown into the fully-fledged prestige marque that holds its own with the acknowledged prestige brands from Europe. Like the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class the IS gives the masses the opportunity to participate in the dream, or at least aspire to be part of it. Much of the development of the IS was done on racetracks around the world. The result is a car with real sports credentials. One look at the compact sedan tells you it's conceived for speed, with a wide airdam, sweeping lines, and bulging wheel arches full of massive alloy wheels, low profile rubber and huge brakes. The sporting feel carries through to the stylish cabin with its real sports seats, carbon-fibre accents, leather trim and F badges. With all that working in unison the result is 311kW at 6600 rpm and 505Nm at 5200 rpm. Source: www.carsguide.com.au
