Should I Buy the 2024 Lexus IS?

Despite some astute updates, including a refresh for the 2021 model year, the IS’ basic design is the oldest in its class. Still, this compact sports sedan is fun and satisfying to hustle down a winding road. For similar pricing, the Lexus includes a lot more standard equipment than most of its competitors.
