The LEXUS IS (2005-09) 220D 4DR SALOON 2.2 SPORT is a compact, premium four-door saloon, aimed at buyers who might also consider a BMW 3 Series or Audi A4. It brings smart styling and a more distinctive Japanese alternative to familiar German executive cars. The 2.2-litre diesel suits regular commuting and longer journeys, with Sport trim adding a more purposeful look. It can work well for professionals or smaller households wanting comfort and refinement without moving to a larger car, though check that its age and mileage suit your budget. Mycarcheck.com recorded 444 look-ups across 150 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot of interest. Checked cars averaged 137,000 miles and nearly five previous keepers; reported annual mileage averaged 20,000. The average private-sale valuation was £1,500, so compare individual condition, history and price carefully. This Lexus is best considered as a comfortable, well-equipped used saloon rather than a low-mileage bargain for buyers.
