The redesigned IS incorporates the new Lexus design philosophy, L-Finesse. This is made evident throughout the exterior, with such bold styling elements as a wide stance; high, muscular beltline; and an aggressive, wedge-shaped profile. The heart of the IS 350 is a potent 3.5-liter V6 that churns out 306 horsepower, making it the most powerful engine in its class. With 277 lb-ft of torque at 4,800 rpm, the IS 350 can achieve an astounding 0-60 acceleration time of 5.3 seconds, which is fastest in its class. The IS 250 is briskly propelled by a 2.5-liter 204-hp V6 with 185 lb-ft of torque.

Pros: Very pretty car. The luxury appointments are well done.
Cons: Bad visibility from within and sport shifter is disappointing.
2006 Lexus IS 250 AWD 5 cylinder automatic. Very stylish. Nice color choices. I bought a Red Matador model. It is build for a short person. I am 5' 8" and my head is almost touching the roof. Extremely bad visibility from within. With the seat back so that I fit, the front column is blocks your a lot of your front view. All most all the views sideways have very bad blind spots. This car is very difficult to drive in traffic because with all the blind spots changing lanes is a guess. The sport shifter was a huge disappointment. I have driven manual transmissions for over 30 years. The sport shifter is not like a manual transmission. It is like going through the gears of a regular automatic transmission. Bottom line, if you want a car that is fun to drive, DO NOT buy this one. This is just a pretend performance auto. My six year old Honda Accord with a manual transmission is more fun to drive. After five days I'm trying to sell the IS 250 because it is such a disappointment to drive.
