The Lexus IS300 Sportcross for 2004
Standard equipment in the IS300 for 2003 and 2004 includes the 3.0 liter engine by Toyota, weighing in at 6 cylinders and twenty four valves. A 5-speed Automatic Transmission puts the power of the engine to the pavement. This is a long-standing favorite for buyers in the Wagon arena.
Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The IS300 comes equipped with power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.
Vehicle Statistics
The IS300 is 176.60 inches long, 67.90 inches wide, and 55.50 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 105.10 inches. It is able to seat 5 comfortably.
There is a 50,000 mile, 48 month warranty with this vehicle, including a powertrain warranty of 70,000/72 miles/months. This is normal for this price range.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $29,435 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of $25,901. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 4-door Wagon.
Fuel Efficiency
The fuel system for the 2004 IS300 is a MPI system, running on gasoline . The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The 17.50-gallon tank provides the fuel storage for longer trips.
The 2004 IS300 gets 25 miles/gallon on the highway and only 18 in the city. This is subpar for a wagon car.
We Think...
The 2004 model year was telling year for the Lexus IS300. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Sportcross version) meant that buyers could find the version that best suited their needs.
