Miles Overview
The IS is Lexus's compact sport sedan, the one that goes up against the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. It's a sharp handler with quick steering and a firm, controlled ride, so it feels eager on a back road. The cabin is nicely trimmed, but the back seat is snug and the trunk is modest for the class. The touchscreen infotainment is easy to use, and the standard safety suite includes adaptive cruise and lane-keeping assist. The Base trim is the rear-drive IS 300 with the 2.0L four-cylinder, so you get lighter weight and sharper steering feel than the AWD version. Its 2.0L I4 makes 241 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, routed through a eight-speed automatic to the rear wheels, and it returns 25 mpg combined. The Base skips the Comfort trim's power-adjustable seats and memory settings, but the cabin still feels upscale and the driving dynamics stay engaging.
