Striking styling and hybrid efficiency help the IS stand out
Astonishing pace, great V8 soundtrack, plenty of standard kit
Doesn't look particularly aggressive, hard ride, not involving enough
Excellent build quality and reliability, good standard equipment levels, superior refinement
Cramped rear seats, ungainly styling, limited engine choice, notchy manual gearbox
Well built, well priced, fun to drive.
Overstyled cabin - some might say tacky.
Very well equipped as standard, smooth and refined on the move, quick-action metal folding roof
Poor in corners, sluggish automatic gearbox, no diesel engine, lacks the feelgood factor
Durable and as fun to drive as the saloon
Not as practical as 'traditional' estates
