The rear-wheel-drive 2014 Lexus IS offers sufficient handling and thrills when pushing the pedal enough to cover interior silence. But if you want more handling and better acceleration, you can have the all-wheel-drive version.
If you don’t want the F-Sport that ads the adaptive variable suspension and other race-inspired gizmos, the best you can have is the IS 350 AWD.
Starting at $39,465, it comes with a 3.5-liter V6 engine boasting 306 hp connected to a six-speed automatic gearbox with paddle shifters that sends the power to both axles, making it go from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 5.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 131 mph (210 km/h).
