IS 2022

Competent, reliable, comfortable. But 'competent' isn't what you want spending this much. Hard plastic panels in places, engine note unpleasant. Test-drive the competition before committing.

Functional but underwhelming. Ride is fine, fuel economy acceptable, reliable enough. But every time I get in I feel I settled. Looking at competitors for my next car.

Sceptical when I ordered — playing it safe rather than exciting myself. A year in, genuinely impressed. More refined than expected, seats comfortable on long trips, nothing unexpected has gone wrong.

Factory fit-and-finish issues: door seal whistles at speed, dashboard rattle took three dealer visits to fix, paint imperfection on boot lid. Disappointing for this price. Car should have been right first time.

Mid-spec was the sweet spot. Heated seats, wireless CarPlay, blind-spot monitoring all standard. Build quality honest and durable. No showiness, just exactly what I needed.

Nervous buying without testing more alternatives but after 18 months: not a single unplanned shop visit. Safety features have intervened twice on the motorway. Comfortable on long journeys, easy to park. Everything you want.

Spent more than budget allowed but the 2022 Lexus IS justified every dollar. Cruising at highway speeds is serene, seats are supportive over distance, tech is useful rather than gimmicky. Running costs lower than expected.

I've owned quite a few cars over the years and the 2022 Lexus IS is comfortably the best. The interior quality feels genuinely premium, the ride is smooth without feeling disconnected, and the infotainment system actually works without frustrating you. My only minor gripe is wind noise at motorway s…

I've owned my 2022 Lexus IS for fourteen months and it has spent more time at the dealer than on my driveway. The turbo failed at 8,000 miles, the infotainment screen went blank at 11,000 miles, and there's a persistent vibration the dealer cannot locate. This is my first experience with this brand …

The 2022 Lexus IS is a genuinely excellent car and I'm happy with my purchase. Strong points are the ride quality, interior space, and standard safety tech. Weak points are a slightly fiddly touchscreen that requires too many taps for simple tasks, and a blind spot from the thick rear quarter pillar…
