2010 Lexus IS Review

4 trims of the 2010 Lexus IS are available, the IS 250 RWD, the IS 250 RWD Manual, the IS 250 AWD and the IS 350 RWD. Suggested pricing ranges from $31,845 up to $37,295. Lexus also charges an $875 delivery, processing and handling fee. These 5-passenger luxury sedans with welded steel unibody construction demonstrate an overall length of 180.3 inches. Width and height measurements are at 70.9 inches 56.1 inches respectively. Additionally, the 107.5-inch wheelbase supports its 3435 pound base-model curb weight with balanced ease.

250 trims of the 2010 IS from Lexus feature a 2.5L 204hp 185 lb-ft V6 engine mounted at 60 degrees. The valvetrain features variable valve intelligence timing with 4 separate valves per cylinder and 4 individual cams. The compression ratio is reported at 12.0:1. An ECT-i electronically controlled intelligent 6-speed transmission joins in to complete the powertrain setup. There is also an optionally-beefy 3.5L 306hp 277 lb-ft V6 available. The IS is certified as an ultra low emissions vehicle (ULEV-II) and transports you 21/29 mpg city/highway in luxurious style.

The 3.5L 2010 IS Lexus demonstrates a top track speed of 143 miles per hour and 5.4-second 0 to 60 times. It tears up the quarter mile and 14 seconds flat. Comparatively, 2.5L versions require 7.9 seconds from 0 to 60 and feature a top speed of 140 MPH. All trims of the IS feature a 0.28 aerodynamic drag coefficient and 33.5 foot turning circle. An independent double-wishbone front suspension system joins with an independent multi-link rear system to provide you with ride quality that is matched in very few other vehicles available anywhere. The Lexus Electronic Power Steering (EPS) system requires only 2.9 turns from lock to lock.

Inside the luxuriously-quiet cabin, the 2010 Lexus IS offers you 37.2 inches of frontal headroom - and 43.9 inches of legroom in the front and rear. Additionally, you'll find 54.4 inches of shoulder room and 54.1 inches of hip room for frontal occupants. The 17.1 gallon fuel tank will allow you to travel more than 400 miles between stops. Overall, the Lexus IS is very difficult to compete with. Lexus is a world leader in automobile craftsmanship for loads of excellent reasons. Talk about barrier entries. Enjoy an IS test drive today to gain a firsthand understanding of the future of automobiles.
