Lexus IS 250 or Toyota Camry SE v6??

Question

I have a chance to buy a Lexus IS 250 or a Toyota Camry SE v6. Which do you think is a better deal, and will perform better. They cost about the same amount of money.

Answer 1

I have owned both.. I traded the IS 250 in on my new 2011 se v6.. I had a camry before I bought the IS..and I'm glad I have a camry now.. If this is going to be your only car.. I think the camry does well as a great package.  Its not all sport..its not all comfort.. its not all luxury..but.. it is reliable, it is roooooooomy.. it is pleasing on long trips.. you won't feel 'cramped' .. You can have fun in it.. yet.. you won't get into probably the same trouble you will get into with an IS.  The IS also has weak power from a standstill .. although its great once your moving.  the change from RWD to FWD might be an adjustment if your use to one or the other.  I think the Camry is a better all around car for everyday practical use.. with a sporty refined flair! It also looks pricey in SE trim.  Hope this helps!
