Overview

The 2014 Lexus IS F makes for an excellent contender in the compact sedan segment. With standalone trim on offer, the Lexus IS F has a base MSRP of $63,600. It competes directly with the Mercedes-Benz AMG C63 and the less powerful and cheaper Audi S4. The Jaguar XF is a potential rival from the midsize sedan class. That said, only a 5.0L V8 engine is offered, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 416 horsepower and 371 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.7 seconds, the IS F maintains a combined fuel economy of 18 MPG. Lexus offers the IS F in 6 stunning colors, with the Nebula Gray Pearl being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

2014 IS F is loaded with amenities. However, if you wish to upgrade the infotainment department, the $3,410 Navigation System with Mark Levinson Premium Audio System Package is the most suitable option you can opt for.
