TrueDelta Reviews the Available Features of the 2017 Lexus IS

2017 Lexus IS Available Features: Cons
YearComment
The new 2.0T engine might pair better with a manual transmission, but Lexus continues to not offer one in the IS. Beyond this omission, there are few others (aside from no leather option in the F Sport; the Nu-Luxe synthetic does a good impersonation). In general, if you can get a feature in a competitor you can get it in the IS. see full Lexus IS review
