The 2013 Lexus IS 250

The 2013 Lexus IS 250 is a five seat sedan that is a sporty rival to the BMW 3 series. Even though it’s a rival to such a series, many say that the 2013 IS 250 has all the looks of a sedan, and the reliability and styling, but when it comes to performance, it comes up a bit short.

2013 Lexus IS 250: the overview

The base 2013 Lexus IS 250 is available at the price of $35,000. The base includes a 2.5L V6 engine, auto transmission, all wheel drive, stability and traction controls, Bluetooth, an iPod input, satellite radio and airbags, while the DVD player and navigation system are optional. The IS 250 offers a luxurious interior, as well as comfort. All in all, both comfort and luxury have more priority than performance. The cabin is finely trimmed, the build quality is solid, the ride is isolated and quiet. The problem with the interior is the lacking space in the rear seats; the legroom just isn’t good here. There are alternatives that offer more space (Volvo S60 and Acura TSX, for instance) if it’s very important to you, and if you are into more sporty vehicles, you should check the BMW 1 and 3 series or the Infinity G Sedan.

A Quick Look at 2013 Maybach 62

The 2013 Maybach 62 is a vehicle you don’t really buy rationally, as it is more of a status symbol than anything else. Following the tradition of Mercedes design, the Maybach seems to offer a lot of luxury and performance in a very elegant and beautiful package. This half-million-dollar limousine is bound to leave some good impressions. It’s sometimes difficult to provide an objective analysis of this car due to its price alone, but even though it does seem a bit scary to even touch it, it really envelopes you quickly after you sit in it. This is one of the most inviting cars I have ever sat in, which might indicate why the 2013 62 is so popular among businessmen and other rich people.
