Every review that TheCarConnection.com has seen has heaped praise on the 2008 Lexus IS 250 for its many useful and high-tech features.
Standard features, according to Cars.com, include "a standard Smart Access keyless entry system with a push-button engine starter." Cars.com reports the following options for the 2008 Lexus IS 250: "ventilated front seats, dynamic radar cruise control, a power tilt/telescoping steering wheel and a navigation system that incorporates a backup camera."
The Orlando Sentinel is especially complimentary regarding Lexus IS features: "Instruments and controls are thoughtfully designed, and the navigation system is very easy to use, one of the best offered." Edmunds's opinion is in line with the Orlando Sentinel, calling the Lexus IS's electronic interfaces "one of the best...in the luxury game, with easy to use controls all around." The navigation system of the 2008 Lexus, which can be a bugbear on many vehicles, is described at Edmunds as "particularly friendly."
In addition to a user-friendly navigation system, audiophiles will enjoy the 13 (count 'em, 13) speakers in the sound system; a retractable moonroof is also available. Both of these features are standard on the IS 2008 Lexus, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
Conclusion
The 2008 Lexus IS has plenty of standard features, and cutting-edge options are offered, too.

LOVE IT.. shopped around with Volvo, Infinity and BMW. I left in a Lexus. Soundproof, easy to handle,great acceleration, everything is within my fingertips. Sound system is magnificant for factory, Levinson is def a winner. I'm the envy of my block!

Yesterday I was driving from Kelowna to Vancouver in my 2008 Lexus IS250. It is a very sweet ride. Excelleration, steering and handling are terrific. The car does so well in corners and on hills. This highway is through a mountain pass so there are 2 spots where the elevation hits 1200m and it just keeps ups nicely with very little decelleration. The one bone I do have to pick is that the top speed I could do for a short while was 180. I saw that because at 180 it was redlining at 4500rpm in 6th. I would have liked to see what it could do but I was hooped at 180! That is my only complaint I have about the car. Oh and also because the rear end is so high it causes quite a blind spot for us vertically challenged people.
