What reviewers liked least about the Lexus IS-F:

...the Lexus engine won't win any singing competitions, either. A secondary air intake opens up at 3600 rpm, filling the cabin with a contrived, nasal induction honk under big throttle openings. It's not particularly pleasing....

Lexus IS-F Comparisons:

...the IS-F's ride quality is pretty good. It isn't quite as comfy as the M3, which all of our reviewers praised as exceptional.
