How Do You Rate The Is250 Brakes?

RGB · February 14, 2006

I am going to buy a IS250 automatic.

I have reduced strenght in my legs, so I need sensitive brakes that require little brake pedal effort.

I can not test the car as I drive with my left leg and need a left throttle installed.

Can you tell me how sensitive are the IS250 brakes compared to other cars that you know well, Audis, BMWs, etc.?

Couldn't agree more, they are excellent. Typically Japanese, effortless.

The auto gearbox helps by changing down to give you some engine breaking too....particularly noticable when breaking whilst going down hill.

The brakes are first class..not over servoed like the Prius but very responsive

Many thanks to you all for your usefull information.

I am a bit concerned about the last 2 posts:

Is it necesary to help the brakes downshifting? and...

I wouldn´t mind at all if the brakes were overservoed.

I journey through the Alps every year & purposely use a downshift gear to maintain control NOT directly to aid the brakes which are truley superb & have given me Total Reliability in all weather conditions.
