Like the ones from The National Business Review, who find it to be “a great Japanese car”, especially the IS 300h model fitted with the F Sport package, if you care more about looks and fuel economy.

Their tested Lexus IS 300h was fitted with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder Atkinson engine aided by a synchronous electric motor totaling 164 kW (220 hp) and 216 Nm of torque. Not too much, but enough to reach 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 8.3 seconds and a top speed of 124 mph (200 km/h). And those numbers sound pretty good, considering that the 300h model will average a combined fuel consumption of 54 mpg (4.3 l/100 km).

Things are even better with the addition of the F Sport package, which makes the sedan look even cooler due to a slightly redesigned front bumper and five double-spoked rims. The suspension and the steering will be more sporty and the interior will receive quality leather upholstery, premium sound system and the interesting LFA-inspired instrument cluster.
