* Based on opinions and should be considered as general guidance only.

  • Reliability (5)
    5 out of 5 stars
    The IS 350 is a benchmark for the segment, with the powertrain and electronics exhibiting exceptional long-term durability and very few common mechanical failures.
  • Maintenance (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    Routine service costs are higher than a standard Toyota but significantly lower than BMW or Mercedes-Benz, aided by high parts availability and a less complex engine design.
  • Technology (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    For 2009, it offered impressive features like a Mark Levinson sound system and a backup camera, though the touchscreen interface and Bluetooth integration feel very dated today.
  • Comfort (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    The cabin features high-quality materials and excellent sound isolation, but the rear seats are notably cramped and the ride can be slightly stiff on the optional 18-inch wheels.
  • Dynamics (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    The 306-hp V6 delivers strong, linear acceleration and a 0-60 mph time in the low 5-second range, though the steering lacks the surgical precision of its German rivals.

2009 Lexus IS 350

The 2009 Lexus IS 350 is a compact luxury sport sedan that aimed to blend performance with Lexus's renowned refinement and reliability. Building on the foundation of the first-generation IS, the 2009 model offered a more potent engine and a sleeker, more aggressive design, positioning itself as a compelling alternative to established German rivals.

Highlights

  • Engine & Performance: The heart of the IS 350 is its 3.5-liter V6 engine, producing a robust 306 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. This powerplant, paired with a standard 6-speed automatic transmission (with available paddle shifters), provided brisk acceleration and a sporty driving feel. The rear-wheel-drive platform contributed to its athletic handling characteristics, while an available all-wheel-drive (AWD) system offered enhanced traction and stability in various conditions.
  • Safety Features: Lexus prioritized safety in the IS 350, equipping it with a comprehensive suite of standard and available features. Standard safety equipment included:
    • Antilock Braking System (ABS): Prevents wheel lock-up during hard braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control.
    • Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD): Optimizes brake pressure distribution between the front and rear wheels for more effective braking.
    • Brake Assist: Detects a panic braking situation and automatically applies maximum braking force.
    • Vehicle Stability Control (VSC): Helps prevent skidding and loss of traction by selectively applying brakes and reducing engine power.
    • Traction Control (TRAC): Works to prevent wheel spin during acceleration, improving grip.
    • Front, front-side, and side-curtain airbags: Provide comprehensive occupant protection in the event of a collision.
    • Active front headrests: Designed to reduce whiplash injuries in rear-end collisions.
    • Optional Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS): The headlights swivel to illuminate turns, improving visibility around corners.
    • Optional Pre-Collision System (PCS): Uses sensors to detect an impending collision and can pre-tension seatbelts and initiate braking to mitigate impact.
  • Trims: For 2009, the IS 350 was primarily offered in a single, well-appointed trim level, with most of the differentiation coming from optional packages and individual features. This simplified approach ensured that most IS 350s came equipped with a generous array of luxury and convenience amenities.
  • Notable Aspects:
    • Refined Interior: True to Lexus tradition, the IS 350 boasted a high-quality interior with premium materials, excellent fit and finish, and comfortable, supportive seating.
    • User-Friendly Technology: The infotainment system, while not as cutting-edge as today's systems, was generally intuitive and easy to operate, featuring a standard premium audio system and available navigation.
    • Sporty Styling: The second-generation IS featured a more aggressive and dynamic exterior design compared to its predecessor, with sharp lines and a low-slung stance that conveyed its sporty intentions.

What to Expect

Owning a 2009 Lexus IS 350 typically means experiencing a blend of upscale comfort and engaging performance. Lexus vehicles are renowned for their dependability and longevity, and the IS 350 is no exception. Routine maintenance, such as oil changes, filter replacements, and tire rotations, will be standard. As a luxury vehicle, however, parts and specialized labor can be more expensive than for mainstream sedans.

Maintenance: Expect to follow Lexus's recommended maintenance schedule, which typically involves more frequent checks and replacements of fluids and filters compared to non-luxury brands. Common maintenance items might include brake pad and rotor replacements, coolant flushes, and spark plug changes. While the V6 engine is generally reliable, some owners have reported issues with carbon buildup on intake valves, which may require periodic cleaning.

Insurance: Insurance costs for a luxury performance sedan like the IS 350 are generally higher than for economy cars. Factors influencing premiums include your driving record, location, age, and the specific coverage you choose. Collision and comprehensive coverage are highly recommended given the vehicle's value and performance capabilities.

Potential Considerations

While the 2009 IS 350 is a strong contender in its segment, potential buyers should be aware of a few points:

  • Rear Seat Space: As a compact luxury sedan, the rear seating area can feel somewhat cramped, especially for adult passengers on longer journeys. The sloping roofline also impacts rear headroom.
  • Fuel Economy: While not abysmal for its performance class, the 3.5-liter V6 is not the most fuel-efficient option. Drivers prioritizing economy might find the IS 250 a more suitable choice.
  • Infotainment System Aging: The technology and infotainment system in the 2009 model, while functional for its time, will feel dated by modern standards. Features like touchscreen interfaces, extensive smartphone integration, and advanced driver aids are absent.
  • Ride Firmness: While tuned for sportiness, the suspension can feel firm for some, particularly on less-than-perfect road surfaces. This is a trade-off for its agile handling.
  • Water Pump Issues: Some owners have reported premature failure of the water pump, a component that may require replacement at a moderate mileage.

Overall Summary

The 2009 Lexus IS 350 represents a compelling option for those seeking a reliable, comfortable, and engaging compact luxury sport sedan with a strong emphasis on performance. Its potent V6 engine, refined interior, and Lexus's reputation for quality make it an attractive used car. While it exhibits some aging in terms of technology and offers less rear-seat space than larger sedans, its core strengths in driving dynamics and build quality remain significant. For buyers prioritizing a blend of luxury and sportiness with a proven track record of dependability, the IS 350 is certainly worth serious consideration.
