Fabled CAR!

Bought a2016 IS 300 Sport AWD from Carvana. Was "50- certified" ( Lexus officially certified pre-owned ). It has been WONDERFUL ! Cracking motorcar and very practiced value for the money! Fast piffling sedan that handles EXCEPTIONALLY well ( also has all-season performance tires ). The one petty drawback, information technology likes trips to the pump and you can ONLY put super-premium gas in. although if y'all bulldoze like a normal person, your usage is really not that bad. IF yous like to drive a little "sportier" than your going to use a wee chip more! Overall I am VERY pleased. it rides very, very, very well. stable and responsive but not a chore to navigate with. The wide tires make it a little bit noisier, but information technology's a sweet ride. a few times I opened up ( on deserted straight stretch roads! ) to almost 97mph ( uh oh..perchance I shouldn't have admitted that!) and information technology was Polish. This car drives really well. I absolutely love it. I'll have the service intervals done at my local Lexus dealer, and the maintenance has been reasonable and then far. VERY PLEASED!!
