Thinking about trading in my 2000 Maxima for a 2002 Lexus IS300. Any opinions on this car as I have never owned a lexus before. I like the fact that its rear wheel drive and I know toyota/lexus is a good company. ANy opinions would be helpful

 

why are there 2 threads open about the same question from the same person? If you get a Toyota Altezza, make sure you don't get an auto and make sure you turbo it and drop a JZ motor into it...

 

Umm... it already comes with a 2jz (no **** !!)



AAAAHAHAHAHAAA.... yeah, i guess. theyre about as good as any company, nissan inlcuded. theyll have problems, just like maximas and most any other production car. i hear the IS is a pretty nice car, and a good handler. id say go for it, OR grab a VQ35 6spd instead.

 

Wait till the IS 350 comes out. I have driven numerous I2's and they are great driving cars, but seem to be underpowered. The new IS looks sick too.
