The Lexus IS 250: how many cylinders does it have?

While the car itself was light and the engine was cheap to maintain, the engine seemed a bit underpowered and sluggish compared to other options.
In 2016, Lexus replaced the IS 250 with the
Lexus IS 200t

So if you’re torn between the two options in the future and you want the added power, that might be the better option.If you decide to buy the Lexus IS 250, don’t be afraid to take it for a spin on the highway and see how powerful it really is. Just make sure you don’t get a
