Sporty handling, an engaging personality and multiple powertrain and packaging configurations make the 2009 Lexus IS well worth considering by anyone who believes that small is beautiful and that a car is much more than a mere transportation appliance.
Some purists might argue that the Lexus IS lacks the handling precision and crisp visual tailoring of BMW’s 3 Series, which remains the benchmark in this category. Limited rear-seat room might also draw frowns from all but the most modestly-scaled passengers.
