When it comes to the frankly saturated executive car market there are a great deal of options available to the upwardly mobile high fliers amongst us. Fighting it out for the affections of these career orientated people are the more popular choices are BMW, Audi and Mercedes Benz. However, there are now a few newer competitors throwing their metaphorical hats into the ring for consideration. Chief amongst these newcomers is Lexus.
Lexus first made an appearance in the automotive industry when a rather strange saloon car popped up at the 1988 Los Angeles Automotive Trade Show. Since then the manufacturer responsible for the hugely popular IS Series and its many derivatives has made huge leaps and bounds and has been catching up with the German ringleaders.
A test drive of a Lexus IS220d confirms that there is very little to pick between the top 3 or 4 competitors in this market. Obviously luxury is what they are all aiming for and the Lexus has this in spades. All the mod cons are catered for the modern driver, from climate control, sat nav and all the bells and whistles that have been adopted by the executive car fraternity.
With this kind of ostentatious drive quality comes a price; the price tag to be exact. Luxury doesn't come cheap these days, least of all in the automotive industry. With this in mind it may be a good start to check the market for a Used Lexus to get the best of both worlds.
