2008 Lexus IS-F Review

Many refer to the muscle car era as a fondly remembered, yet bygone time period in automotive history. However, the brand new 416 horsepower, 2008 Lexus IS-F is a prime example of a modern day muscle car, featuring sharp reflexes, a refined suspension, plenty of luxurious features and an abundance of exhilarating power under the hood.

The a high-performance 2008 Lexus IS-F sport sedan is only available in one trim level that comes standard with 1all of the amenities we have come to expect in a premium luxury performance vehicle. Among the available options are adaptive cruise control and an audio system which integrates AM?FM stereo and MP3 format files.

A 416 horsepower, 5.0 liter V8 generates power that is distributed to the rear wheels via a technologically advanced 8 speed automatic transmission. The Lexus IS-F goes from 0 to 60 in a very impressive 4.8 seconds. Steering is tenacious and responsive when taking hard turns and the traction is impeccable, providing an exceptional driving experience.

The 2008 Lexus IS-F features a well laid out cabin filled with high quality materials and craftsmanship. Although it is considered a 5 passenger sedan, this one is more comfortable for just a few adults as back seat leg room is less than ample.

There is no doubt that the 2008 Lexus IS-F is a driving enthusiast's sedan, though many others in its class are more luxury oriented than performance oriented. This makes the IS-F somewhat of an anomaly in the overcrowded mid size sedan marketplace, and it may disappoint those looking for a true and comfortable 5 adult passenger sedan with style. However, those who are looking to occasionally bring along a passenger or two on an exhilarating and joy filled ride- long or short- will be more than happy with a Lexus IS-F.
