Lexus revived the IS 300 label in 2016 for the entry-level versions of its compact sport sedan. Lexus shoppers first saw that badge attached to the original IS in the early 2000s. Then, as now, the IS 300 is a responsive and entertaining small sedan that holds up well in its effort to compete with the German cars in the segment. Along with its satisfying performance, the IS delivers strong fuel efficiency and reliability, too.
