I'm thinking about buying a Lexus, but I'm confused about which one I should choose between the IS350 and the IS250.

What are the differences and reliability? TIA people!
 
IS350 all day if you're after performance, t has 3.5L V6 and feels way more alive than the 250's 2.5L, which honestly can feel a little underwhelming even though it may use up less gas. Why do I say so?, I use a 300 and my cousin uses the 250, so I've been able to get a feel for it, if my 300 can be better surely the 350 shouldnt even be a debate if you ask me
 
The IS350 has a stronger V6 and quicker acceleration, while the IS250 is more fuel-efficient with a smaller engine, so your pick

It depends really. You would need to drop your preferences right here so I can help you better. Personally I'll go for the 350 but... IDK would you prefer cheaper fuel consumption?
 
Both are reliable, but the IS250 usually costs less to maintain, choose IS350 for performance, IS250 for daily comfort and savings, over to you know @MyBuffet
