5 Things I Hate About The 2017 Lexus IS 200t

I'm more in love with the car than against it. I'm a Lexus fan and this car is just another reason to be more in love with the brand. But, just like every car out there, it is not perfect. From the month I've had this car I've managed to find 5 things I don't like about it, and here they are.

This is one of the most honest opinions that i’ve heard. He could only name 7 instead of 10 cause lexus are the best made luxury cars with a maintenance bill of an economy car.. i’ve had a lexus IS250 and have been driving it for 10 years now..

the sixth thing is there isn't enough room for all your boyfriends

1 - Turbo Lag: Any turbo engine car has turbo lag. You should not complain about it when you bought this car.
2 - Blue tooth: you should check with your dealership, maybe it's your phone.
3 - Instrument cluster: It should stay in the center by default, that is just their design. Again, you should know about this already when you bought the car
4 - The Engine Star/Stop button location: Are you that fucking lazy to reach out your hand?
5 - The Cup holder location: I guess you check your left and then turn to grab the drink immediately all the time (this is stupid)

The cup holders are definitely annoying, even for passengers.

The turbo lag feels no different from it's closest competition.
BMW 328i and Mercedes C300.

As a worker at Lexus, (not anymore) the design team ensure when the car is off or on display it looks symmetrical or almost perfect. Haha the lfa model has been worked on for quite some years before it was released from things to drivers comfort and functionality to the satisfying interior sound of the car. So unfortunately the cluster moves back for "OCD" purposes and to make it look nice :)

Good observations about the cupholder placement and placement of the push button start. Hopefully Lexus will listen to owners' complaints and remedy this in the near future

Ok, I am satisfied buying this car. Thanks for your reviews

[RogueHetero]

I'm not sure why people are giving you so much crap. Turbo lag is a thing otherwise the term would have never been coined but not all turbos are made equal. Some have more lag than others. So it's understandable to not like how much lag the 200t has. Secondly, the car is pleasing to the eye but obviously poorly designed in terms of ergonomics/convince and that's a valid reason to find certain things annoying to live with on a daily basis.

First world problems. I like to use the door water bottle holders better that the center arm rest. Turbo lag is about the only thing I can agree with.

[hugoramirez]

Did you ever had a problem with cruise control not working? It turns off by itself then says "clean sensor "

[stephanhunt]

Man you better be thankful you got one that's my dream car and I'm still dreaming cause I ain't got one be thankful please

I have a 14 IS and at the beginning I had the Bluetooth issue. After I deleted the connection information on both the phone and the car and allowed it to connect to both phone and media the problem didn't happen anymore. Not sure if that is something that you have done yet but it worked for me. 😃Nice car by the way!!

[scavbh]

Good point on the cup holders ...does not make sense. But there are 2 cup holders !!

[astudentpilotlife]

I got a K&N filter and muffler deleted. The turbo lag seem to go away. And driving in Manual help too. My AVG MPG is 20 -25, highway is 30-40. Just how you drive.

[specONE]

I think cup holder location is more annoying for passenger side, no where to put arm to rest even if there is no drink. Try to rest it on center console and elbow is in the hole instead

[jacobyatako]

Am in the process of buying this car and wanted to get a review. If these are the issues with this car, I feel extremely good about my purchase.

[estavy]

How long do these turbos/engines last, I’m close to buying one but just want to know if I’m going to have to replace anything

[kreativmadness]

He has to travel to thailand to start the car

[Ottoslim]

Dealership replaced me turbocharge under power train warranty. I totally agree with cup holders, they did place them differently in the RC... have you noticed??? Why would I want the ECO-Normal-Sport mode instead of cup holder there... non sense

[SlowWhip]

Didn't you test drive this car before you bought it? I knew that car was going to a slow car when I saw 0-60 7.5 seconds. Lexus can do better then that. BMW 328/30i, Mercedes C300, and Audi A4 get to 60 in 5.5 seconds, and they have the same size of engines with almost the same horsepower and torque.
