2001 Lexus IS Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners are quite pleased with the 2001 Lexus IS, praising its reliable performance, comfortable interior, and sporty handling. The powerful V6 engine and overall build quality are also highlighted positively. However, some drivers mentioned that gas mileage could be better and that the car feels somewhat underpowered compared to similar models in its class. A couple of owners also expressed disappointment with the CD player and limited cup holder space."

September 16, 2008This was one of the best and most reliable cars I've ever owned.
February 16, 2008I loved the inteior,good for longer trips. heated seat, ALL leather power windows, sunroof power everything. out of the car, it had good acceleration, good on gas Triptronic push button gears. very relible, nice midnight blue color, straight 3L straight 6. tail lights a unique but not asain rice rocket look. Dont like, one thing...i wish the seat were A/C, not just heated.
August 7, 2008I love it! I bought it last fall! The car handles great, and with a V6, is very fuel efficient but still has that get up we are all looking for!
April 30, 2008Great little car, not the largest car in its class, but is quite comfortable. Decently equipped for the price. Sporty, Rear wheel drive. Good factory sound system. Gas mileage is mediocre at best (~22mpg) Decent power under the hood, more than enough to get you around (3.0L I6 215hp) But could be better, underpowered in its class, but makes up in nimble handling.
July 27, 2008Every thing is exceptional, the interior and the exterior. The only thing I don't like is the cd player.
May 17, 2008the is300 was purchased in 2001. i purchased one of the first vehicles to come stateside. it was a great car and offered adequate room, excellent power, handling and brakes, the fuel economy was excellent. the one drawback was because of the compact size of the car, it did not have the room for lots of passengers or luggage... but that is not what this car was built for anyways.
May 28, 2014I guess I have to write something here. I have owned this car for over 4 years now, done nothing to it in regards to repairs, and I am not necessarily an easy driver! Lots of fun do drive, and looks good doing it. The gas mileage and premium gas are it only downers...I'd buy another!
