The 2017 Lexus IS for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2017 Lexus IS; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before buying the 2017 Lexus IS, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the IS
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
Engine and fuel
The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Expect about 27 litres for every 300 km, going by its 9.1 L/100 km combined rating. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $15.93 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
A good match for
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Space, size and seats
As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. With 311 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
Rent the IS for a week and see how it fits your life. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Try the IS on your commute, then decide.
Year and trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
The cost of driving it
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $159.30 at our price setting.
