Vehicle Tested:
2007 Lexus IS 250 4dr Sedan (2.5L 6cyl 6M)
MSRP of Test Vehicle: $32,455 Price It!!

What Works:
Makes the most of its 204 horsepower, high cornering limits, precise steering, livable ride, simple interior layout.

What Needs Work:
Rubbery shift action, chassis lacks road feel, engine needs more torque.

Bottom Line:
Sharp-looking and reasonably priced, the IS 250 gets a different personality with its six-speed manual transmission, though no more real performance.
