Lexus IS-F (2008-) Review

Category: Exotic Sports 4.5 out of 5

Summary of the Lexus IS-F (2008-)

Price Range: £23,060 to £54,490

Assets

Immensely powerful yet civilised; looks great; clever eight-speed automatic gearbox.

Drawbacks

Hard ride; not much steering feel; limited rear-seat space.

Verdict

A well thought-out alternative to the M3 and RS4, conceding nothing in its performance.

Lexus IS 250 Review

Used Value4 out of 5

Secondhand buyers love that Lexus reliability and the dependability of the Lexus dealerships, so residual (resale) values should be strong.

All the necessary items to maintain value are fitted as standard, though we suspect that whilst white paint may be popular right now, its appeal may fade a few years down the line. The handsome dark slate-grey and black paint finishes may be a better bet than Arctic Pearl, eye-catching though that is.
