Overall Performance
The Lexus IS 300 has a stock top speed of 205 km/h (127 mph) which is low compared to other cars in Class D. Its acceleration is also weak but it can be compensated by its strong Nitrous output. The handling isn't either precise, nor responsive, nor grippy as its sister model and successor, the Lexus IS 350 but it is manageable.

In Team Escape the IS 300 can be a good vehicle if it's used correctly. Like the IS 350, the IS 300 is a heavy car, so it will easily manage through roadblocks, but dodging rhinos can become tricky because of its bad turning radius. Being rammed head-on or being halted by a roadblock and trying to get away isn't too easy also, since its sluggish acceleration usually won't let the IS 300 outrun the police interceptors.
