When the time comes to slow down, the IS relies on power assisted disc brakes with electronic brake force distribution (EBD), brake assist (BA), vehicle stability control (VSC), traction control (TRAC) and all the other electronic nannies.
Fully equipped... almost

The owner of an IS 350 will also enjoy a host of luxury amenities, such as SmartAccess keyless entry, auto up/down power windows, power remote foldable heated exterior mirrors, an antitheft alarm and a premium audio system with MP3/WMA player, in-dash 6-disc CD changer and 13 speakers. I'll stop right here, otherwise it would take forever to list all the standard features of the Lexus IS 350.
There is nothing missing. Or is there? In my opinion, Lexus missed a great opportunity to impress BMW folks by offering an AWD IS 350 on top of the RWD model, as is the case with the IS 250. No doubt it would have been one of the best sports sedans on the market.
Key words: safety and warranty
