Would def recommend this car.Ive had mines for over a year and the only problems Ive experience were due to the previous owner (crappy aftermarket products, etc) other than that it has been a great/fun car. Been thinking lately on trading mines in for a 5-speed.

IS' are pretty reliable at my lexus shop I hardly see em except for this one dude that put the supra engine in his, he keeps having issues.
I have a GS, I would tell you to get that instead for that kind of money... I have the V8 though so it might be worse on gas for you, the GS300 is a little sluggish also.
Lexus' are pretty decent with reliability
So either way, just do your HW on the car and you would be in good hands.

IS3 is good to go. Get a Prepurchase inspection by a reputable toyota shop or at the dealership. Keep up with maintenance(relatively cheap) and the car will run up to 200k with no problems. I miss my IS350, just put in gas and go.

Keep in mind if you get one that the timing belt service is around 90-100k (i think) which can set you back almost a grand.
