2006 Lexus IS 350 - CNET Reviews
Lexus makes a sedan feel like a luxury sport coupe with the IS 350, a perfect car in almost every way that comes in at a price making it the best luxury value available. The navigation system comes in a package with a premium Mark Levinson sound system, which is one of the best we've ever heard. Power tilt steering wheel and a power rear sunshade round out the interior luxury tech. Although the 3. 5-liter variable valve-timed V-6 and its six-speed automatic transmission sound similar to what can be found in many other cars, this power train uses engineering and electronic controls that contribute to a very sporty driving...

The base price of the 2006 Lexus IS 350 is $35,440, but ours came with the $3,495 luxury package, the $3,990 stereo/navigation package, the $2,850 radar-based cruise control, and sundry other options that ran the final tally up to $46,593....
