While the Lexus IS 250 and 350 are all-new for 2014, the M3 fighting IS F compact sport sedan stays the same for another year. That's ok, because the rear-wheel drive, 416 hp 5.0L V8, limited slip differential, and quick shifting eight-speed automatic remain. It’s a little more cramped inside than the competition, but the IS F is as quick and sharp handling as the M3, better driving than the Mercedes C63 AMG, and has a better ride and is more comfortable than either
The IS F comes in one well equipped trim with proximity key and push button start, power adjustable wheel and 10-way power adjustable and heated leather seats. The stereo is a 14-speaker Mark Levinson system with navigation, satellite radio, and a backup camera. It has parking sensors and park assist and there are automatic wipers and lights. There are no additional options.
The IS F is rated at 14.6 L/100 km city and 10.1 L/100 km highway.
