[Germanauto]

My daily is an IS. I dread getting service done because their loaners cars are always RX or NX and make me feel dead from inside. Last week I waited 30 minutes for the one ES loaner they had (new model) and I was pleasantly surprised. For a FWD supposed grandpa car it looks nice and handled quite well. Seat comfort and NVH were top shelf. Somehow the steering was tighter than in most BMWs.

With that being said, it suffered from the typical Lexus awkward interior design, slightly cheap interior bits, and horrible infotainment system.

Lexus products are consistently behind competitors and for whatever reason their interiors always feel old relative to the German cars. But at the end of the day, they are priced quite below competitors and provide a worry free ownership experience.
