Old model with a wonderful ride quality `
|
|
They say it's never too late to drive an old Lexus. This model has been out since 2013 with only a minor face lift and some tweak to the suspension and gear ratios. I just had to try it out.

Good turbo and smooth gear change `
|
|
Got a very good price for the car as I did not trade in any car. Love the smooth gear change, the turbo power.
As being a luxury car, the soundproofing is absolutely fantastic, played MP3 music and with built in USB port and the music sounds like a live band in front of me.
Take off from stationary is good as it is a turbo engine, and with 8 speed gearbox, the gear change is super smooth.

Driven the IS200t Exec for about a year at the time of writing. It's a great car to drive in. Coming from a Ford Mondeo, the IS200t is a huge step up in comfort and driving experience.
The interior is of high quality and it's big enough for my family even though the space is less than what we were used to.
Reliability has to be proven after a few years but so far so good. Additionally, Lexus is known to be reliable so all it's all good.
Styling wise, it's really striking. Personally, it looks great to me but I have seen on forums that some do not like it; It's very subjective.
Price wise, do not be fooled by the listed price. Borneo Motors usually gives pretty good discounts, so don't be too put off by the price. Also, spec for spec with other marques, the IS actually has a price advantage. And because the OMV is rather high, the annual depreciation is competitively priced in this segment
Engine performance is objectively really smooth during normal operations. During hard acceleration from standstill there is abit of turbo lag. But once the turbo lag is over, there is a strong sense of acceleration of getting pinned to your seats (especially when SPORT mode is on). The engine is really potent for Singapore roads.
Being more light-footed, I averaged about 12km/l. Do note that I'm almost on ECO mode with Auto Start/Stop off whenever I drive. 60% Highway 40% City.
The service rendered at Borneo Motors during service is second to none. You are treated really well with good facilities. You get a meal every time you service and the service representative is professional in his dealings. Usually, I would dread going for servicing but with Lexus' Borneo Motors, I actually found myself looking forward to it.
