Available as either a sedan or a convertible, the 2013 Lexus IS is a good choice among luxury small cars . It offers a comfortable and composed ride, and its available engines make plenty of power. The IS also has a premium interior and a great reliability rating.

The IS is built on a shortened version of the rear-wheel drive midsize platform introduced for the third generation Lexus GS, and also used on the Japanese-market Toyota Crown and Toyota Mark X.

One engine option - 2.0-litre, six-cylinder (153bhp) petrol.

I can't say that about other makes of cars or SUVs i've owned that we're built in Canada, the US or Japan. Lexus's have a lifespan of 250,000 - 300,000 miles. The typical car has an expected life of 200,000 miles, which means you can drive a Lexus for 50% longer than the average car on the road.

Consumer Reports named Lexus the most reliable new car brand. Lexus dealerships were ranked #1 in overall dealership experience, a testament to the hard work done by local dealerships to make your car buying and service experience an exceptional one, every time.

While both the Lexus NX and Toyota RAV4 offer powerful engines, the NX is the only vehicle that's capable of offering turbocharged power. The 235-horsepower engine that powers the NX comes with advanced twin-scroll technology.

Intelligent Sport Our mid-size Sports Sedan, the Lexus IS stands for Intelligent Sport. Redesigned in 2021, the all-new Lexus IS outperforms its predecessor in every way capturing the hearts of younger drivers seeking a bold, intelligent drive.

The 2021 Lexus IS 300 has a 143 mile per hour top speed, a remarkable speed.

Plenty of that. The IS300 uses the same 2JZ-GE 3.0-liter DOHC 24-valve straight-six that propels the bigger Lexus GS300 sedan, an engine that traces its lineage to the old Toyota Supra.

It's worth noting here that the Lexus IS200 is one of those cars that genuinely has little go wrong with it. Lexus spent a great deal of time focusing on the engineering side of things and as a result obvious, common problems are hard to come by.

5 - The engine: Even though it's a 2L 155bhp straight 6, it feels fast if you don't use all of the throttle or are inside the power band. The power delivery is really smooth, response is nice and quick, especially if you adjust the throttle cable accordingly.
