| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Legroom felt narrow for passenger over tranny tunnel. see full Lexus IS review |

Lousey seats: uncomfortable and build is cheap and not conforming to human posture. But, seems last several years most cars have lousey, cheap and uncomfortable seats. see full Lexus IS review |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Cramped rear seat. Minimal knee and leg room when there is a front driver/passenger. Minimal room for the toddler when sitting in a car seat. Seats 2 small kids at best. see full Lexus IS review |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
This is a small car. Interior seating is comfortable but tight. Unless the driver is very short, forget about the back seat. see full Lexus IS review |

Don't buy this car if you ever plan on carrying four adults. see full Lexus IS review |

Yeah, the back is small but still big enough to handle for the poor rear seat passengers. see full Lexus IS review |

What Our Members Are Saying about the Powertrain of the 2010 Lexus IS

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Excellent engine; powerful. Transmission is quick shifting and intuitive. Automatic downshifts when descending hills are a bit intrusive but okay once you're used to them. Doesn't hunt for gears on grades. see full Lexus IS review |

| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The 204hp 6 is anemic, does not belong in this chassis. Paddle shifted auto feels like it takes seconds to shift, and downshifting is useless. Also lighting up the odo and speedo at 75mph to "warn" you is obnoxious. see full Lexus IS review |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Initial acceleration leaves a bit to be desired but in everyday driving is pretty decent. Went from an Acura TSX to this car and noticed the instant lack of torque, but is definitely willing to pull strong in the 60-80 range. see full Lexus IS review |

Man, I understand that Lexus is competing against the Europeans but seriously, trying to act particularly sporty is not cool, especially when this car reads more luxury than sport. The first set of Bridgestone Potenzas wore off around 25k and had to replace with Hankook Ventus tires which are a bit louder but handle better. Those set me back $800-900 all in. see full Lexus IS review |
