Lexus IS 250 AWD review: Is it sporty enough?

In this video we review the 2015 Lexus IS model with AWD. This model has the 2.5 L V6 engine. It’s a compact, sporty luxury car, and we are trying to figure out if it is sporty enough. Many think that the IS 250 is underpowered, however it gets decent fuel economy, and handling is good with a well-tuned suspension. In traditional Lexus style, you get a quality interior and overall solid build quality. Would you recommend the IS 250 or 350? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below.
Some of the competitors to consider:
BMW 3 Series
Mercedes-Benz C-Class
Audi A4
Infiniti Q50
Cadillac ATS
