2018 Lexus IS Reviews, Pricing & Specs




What owners say
"Overall, drivers have a positive feeling about the 2018 Lexus IS, praising its smooth ride and stylish design. Many appreciated the sporty feel and power, especially with features like the turbo engine and advanced safety options. However, some reviewers pointed out downsides such as limited rear legroom and outdated navigation in the base model."
Great car overall, it has beautiful red leather interior with nice black wheels. The engine is a v6 so you can’t go wrong with that specially a Lexus/toyota. The value I think is perfect in this economy we’re in at the moment
September 14, 2026Extremely smooth ride and all the fun features you could want in a luxury car
February 7, 2022It’s a joy driving the IS 300, it’s is nice and compact, it gets in and out of turns easily.. It has plenty of power with the dual turbo engine and sport mode on top for an extra boost. Plenty of safety features, with road assistance and blind spot sensors. The Lexus IS 300 like any Lexus IS is Stylish and looks Sleek. We love it.

June 18, 2022Listen the is300 is a nice car. Only knock on it is the navigation... since its the base model the navigation feels like something back from 2010.
December 25, 2020It was a great value until I looked at at the touch up paint on the front and back bumper. Didnt notice in the showroom where it was parked. The car is white pearl and it was touched up with plain white paint. I will take it to get it touched up at a Lexus dealer that does better work. The detailing was not professional.
January 3, 2021This car is GREAT!!! Love all the features . Sporty car, smooth ride, can use navigation while driving. Love the voice commands
November 4, 2020It was a great car with all the bells and whistles on the inside. The only problem is the frame was too Low. I had a hard time getting inside the car with my hair in a bun. I had to duck my head down in order to get into the car. There was no legroom in the back seat. I test drove the ES 350 and bought that model
July 7, 2024The IS 350 is missing leg room in the rear seat.
