Lexus IS 
The current generation of the Lexus IS dates back to 2014, but it continues to win over customers thanks to excellent reliability. The base IS 300 AWD sends its 260 horsepower to all four wheels. Next up is the more powerful IS 350 AWD, which also uses a 3.5-litre V6 but is rated at 311 horsepower. At the top of the range, you’ll find the high-performance IS 500 packing a 5.0-litre V8 with 472 horsepower. It’s the only RWD model you can buy.
