Drivers Log.(News)
2006 Lexus IS 250 AWD
Date in fleet: Nov. 16-23 As-tested price: $39,824 Powertrain: 2.5-liter V6; awd, six-speed automatic Output: 204 hp @ 6400 rpm, 185 lb-ft @ 4800 rpm Curb weight: 3651 lbs Fuel mileage (EPA combined/AW observed): 24.3 mpg/20.9 mpg
BLAHNIK: I'm always amazed I don't see more of these on the road. I thought the IS would pose more competition for the BMW 3 Series. When it comes to driving the car, its aggressiveness reminds me of driving a BMW-stiff and sporty. The one thing that would make me choose the Lexus over the BMW is its all-wheel drive-you can't get near an awd Bimmer at this price.
I like the sedan, which can easily hold four. The trunk offers a good amount of space. It's a smaller car, so I think they did a good job
balancing interior space.
The interior is great. Feels and looks like high-quality materials. The gauges are beautiful. I love that when you open the door at night the scuff plate lights up a bright blue.
