2003 Lexus IS 300 3.0 inline 6 cylinder
Summary:
Fantastic, quick, sporty yet luxurious, compact yet roomy sedan
Faults:
Having problems with the catalytic converter. This is most likely because of the previous owner though, who didn't really know what he was doing to the car. When I got it, everything from the trunk was gone, including the spare.
Otherwise, nothing is wrong with it. Fantastic car.
General Comments:
Fantastic ride. I own the dark cement grey color. Black leather and suede interior. 5 speed manual. Short shifter, which I bought it with. Since it's a manual, it's probably a little rougher than an automatic, but you still feel that you're driving a Lexus. Quiet smooth ride. Having a manual trans gives you even better MPG.
The inline 6 engine makes it a fun to drive, strong, quick car. The inline 6 engine is basically the engine from a Toyota Supra without the twin turbos.
Roomy car too, unless you are a 6 ft guy like me and trying to fit 5 people in the car. 3-4 ride comfortably.
Fantastic Lexus premium sound system comes stock. By far the best I've had that comes stock.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
