kingreign: Isn't that just an issue with the IS250, though? Since the 350 engines have both port and direct injection? chukel: What year? Price? 1 Like 1 Share |

Hello, OP, have you bought the car? It's a good buy to suite your luxurious taste, but take note that the car is low, and not suitable if the road that leads to your residence is bad, if your road terrain is good, then go for it. |

promotervickky: The road to my home is good however the entrance to my street is not so friendly. 1 or 2 potholes at the street junction but smooth ride after you pass them. Should that be a determining factor? |
Re: Is Lexus IS 250 A Good Buy? by kingreign(m): 12:38pm On Jun 14, 2020 |
BarrSly: No, go for it. |
Re: Is Lexus IS 250 A Good Buy? by promotervickky(m): 12:41pm On Jun 14, 2020 |
BarrSly: If its not so serious, go for it, besides the road can be fixed anytime. |

HeavenlyBang: Best and (most effective) option is a complete teardown of the heads (banks 1 and 2) Read about walnut shell blasting of the intake valves( the usual culprit). would require investment in equipment. Another is the installation of oil catch cans to stall the carbonization process. Another is the use of specialised chemicals introduced at the intake side of the valve. |

Excellent car, but not the smoothest of rides at low speeds. Get good tyres and ensure they are filled to specification (35psi front, 38psi rear) to lessen the bumpiness. 1 Like 1 Share |

BarrSly:What should be a determine factor is not the road to your street alone but the route you will be plying daily. I drove one from Ajah to Ogba area on Sunday and I had to park on the road because the street we were going to was full with potholes....I mean deep potholes that can destroy the bumper on just that particular trip. Am not a fan of parking on the road though but I had no choice. Thought it was a sport front bumper and not the regular one so it's super low to the ground.... I don't see the argument of trying to use a luxury car and people expect it to still be cheap on fuel...once you zero your mind that you want to use V6 upwards just be prepared. Another thing is if you are a family man, the car is a NO NO for you or you go out with geng geng geng....Generally our roads and not good and with so much weight on a very low car....if you reach some road, you fit tell your family or friends make them come down first...make them come meet you for front. But generally is a superb car if you take away our bad roads. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

kingreign: IS 250 is the most unreliable brand among all 2008 to 2012 lexus brands. The GS is better, ES is very reliable and RX is top notch for reliability. The reasons why IS 250 and 350 aren't as reliable as other Lexus brands of that generation is because it has more sophisticated electronic components, fragile EPS and Low ground clearance which apparently makes IS not to be good in flooded roads. Some 08/12 IS 350 models comes with elecronic paddle shifters which cost a fortune to fix when they go bad as well as the EPS. This makes IS 250/ 350 visit the workshop more often compared to other Lexus brands. Mind you the IS 250/350 aren't bad cars as they remain Lexus flagship compact sport sedans with good performance.. They are fun to drive but they may require more maintenance compared to GS,ES and RX which are more common. |

IS250 08/10 This car is a good buy from the reviews I have read so far about it. I have reseached on it far and wide and I can deduce that it it a good car to buy. The 6cyl and 2.5litres engine displacement I think is a very good car for first time 6cyl users. It is the most fuel economy Lexus car you can buy. It is through that it the fuel economy is similar to a 4cyl camry of 2.5litres, the most fuel efficient Lexus that lacks power. Though it is not a drivers car, for Car euthusiat who love sporty performance, and high Revs during driving will be disappointed and a major set back of the car from the reviews is the crampy space in the rear. This scores the car very low rating. In terms of reliability, luxury, fuel economy and quality interior the car score high but for James Bond driving and interior space it is 2/10. It is a very good car you will enjoy for long so far you use Recommended oils and lubricants, No abuse, the car is strong and the engine is built for a life time. The car is a good upgrade from a Corolla or Honda Civic especially for average height owners. My 10k kobo. 1 Like |

@OP Please buy the RWD and not the AWD. You achieve better mileage with the RWD and little or Zero maintainance on the Drivetrain other than the AWD. IS250 08/10 is my next ride too, joining the Lexus Club. 1 Like |

Yes i did get the IS250 and yes i enjoyed it, mad power for speed and reliable to always start up when needed however take note, if you ever have to replace a part, be aware that will take quite a while to find and would definitely be expensive than your average camry and corrola.

BarrSly: If you're buying Camry, buy the XLE v6 instead. That's the full option and we'll balanced. That IS 250 won't see it's back if you're looking for speed. Low cost effective too |
