Pros: What do you like about 2006 Lexus IS-Series?
It's a very pretty car. Looks far more expensive
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Lexus IS-Series?
It needs more storage space. The emergency brake is "old fashioned" and awkward compared with the other car features
2006 Lexus IS-Series Review:
This is a nice car. The engine is smooth and quiet. The interior looks fantastic and the standard features are awesome because with many other vehicles, they are upgrades. It should have more horsepower, not sure why Lexus was stingy in this category?? But I really like it. Best driving vehicle I've ever had. But if you have frequent backseat passengers, you may want to continue your search.

2006 Lexus IS-Series Review:
I am in love with this vehicle. Is 350. I am a big guy with 6 foot teenagers. they still fit at the back with a liitle adjustment with the front seats. I just feel complete in this car. The luxury features absolutely astonish. The way this car drives is unbelievable. I threw it around like a wild dog and the car held on tenaciously. I don't know what those silly comments about the VDIM cutting down on the fun. I am in car heaven.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Lexus IS-Series?
Looks great. Blinding accelleration. Very nice interior. Handles well. F1 paddles. Big mirrors. Big wheels. Start button. Remote ignition and door locks. Vented seats.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Lexus IS-Series?
3" more rear leg room. Real metal on transmission tunnel trim. Brighter center consol LEDs and LCD backlights on stock stereo and clock, hard to see in sunlight. Tiny bit more brake and steering "feel". Slightly smoother gear change from slushbox when accellerating hard. Less smelly rust inhibitor applied to brakes for shipping. It smelt of burning oil for 2 weeks while it burnt off.
2006 Lexus IS-Series Review:
I love my IS350. Its stunning to look at and great fun to drive. Mine is blue onyx with sterling perforated leather. I havn't even really let rip with the throttle yet as I'm being good for the first 1000 miles while I run it in. But even keeping the revs down its a hoot to drive. The brakes are very powerful, but could do with a little more feedback as I find I over brake a little. I'm sure I'll get used to it though. The engine is very smooth and extrordinarily powerful. It growls quietly when you step on the gas but lays down some serious power. The Autobox changes very fast but does jolt a little between changes when you are accellerating fast. The F1 paddles work well. The transmission changes up a gear faster than it changes down. On the way down it hesitates a smidge while it decides if it safe to engage or not. It will change gear on its own if it decides it does not like the gear you select. The AC blows really cold if you want it, and it blows cold or hot air through the front seat perforations. Its great in the Texas heat. I have managed to get the VDIM to engage but I didn't think it was that intrusive. I think folks who drive up to 8/10ths will be fine with it. Like I said I love my IS350.

2006 Lexus IS-Series Review:
I was a loyal Mercedes owner and wanted to buy a new car in 2006. The c230 sucks, it is underpowered and becomming more and more chryslerish by the year. Lexus does a hell of a job and leads this class other than the new BMW. The only problem with the BMW is the douchebags they have slinging them, these guys think they are selling the only car around. My Lexus experience has been an absolute pleasure.
