Lexus IS 300h
Prices start at: €38,980
Engines: Hybrid: 2.5 (223bhp).
Bodystyle: Saloon.
Plus Points: Lot of room and well equipped, it’s a better driver than it is credited with. We like the look of it too.
Minus Points: The continuously variable transmission (CVT) militates against quick kick-down for acceleration and creates lots of cabin boom. Big drawback.
Best Buy: Just the one model.
Final Answer: Yes, it deserves to be on many more shopping lists.
