Lexus Is

What it says about you

Opinion

The small Lexus for people who wanted a 3 Series and did not want the maintenance conversation. You made a quiet, correct choice.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

22 model years on record, 80 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has none. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.
