Best execution of the Lexus spindle grille. The front end styling will be revised for 2017. Trim yet muscular lines.
Longer than previous generations, but still clearly a compact. I especially like how the rocker panel twists up into the tail light. Point echoed in side window.
Not as upscale as some others, but refreshingly different. I like the 1980s retro vibe. A much less imposing instrument panel than you'll find in most competitors.
Everything is close at hand. Note LFA-inspired instruments. Comfortable yet supportive. You can't get leather with the F Sport, but this is a good synthetic.
Decent room, but the size and low position of the cushion remain those of a compact sedan. Small trunk. At least the rear seat folds.
The new turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Better than the small V6 it replaces. Turbo to the left of the engine.
