| RUNNING COSTS RATING: |

Lexus is becoming well and truly part of the prestige establishment, reflected by the excellent residual values predicted by value monitoring organisations such as CAP. They reckon a three-year-old Lexus IS will be worth more than the equivalent BMW 3-Series, which was once the gold standard (oversupply has dented that reputation, though).
With an eye firmly on the company car market, Lexus has also done a huge amount of work to reduce ownership costs. The cost of replacement parts has been brought down compared to rivals - one reason why insurance groupings are relatively low, starting out at just 12E for the entry level IS220d.
