Congrats on your ride. I also graduated from a camry to a 2019 gs350 fsport a few years ago and couldn't be happier with it. I hear people complaining and making a huge deal over technology, but like you, I really appreciate the outer and inner touches of elegance and refinement. I care more about the ride and feel as well as the ML sound system as opposed to ranting about the Trac pad. To me, it's an annoyance but not a deal breaker. I like the peace of mind that goes along with Lexus. Basic maintenance and you should be good to go for a long time. As far as speed, like you said, for street driving, it's great, unless you want to take it to a track. Enjoy
Nice congrats bro! I really love the GS as well. Almost went with that. Yeh don't get me wrong I love cool technology and a lot of stuff I do at work involves using technology but when it comes to my daily driver I want a nice reliable comfortable ride with exceptional build quality and if it lacks technology so be it lol there's more than enough technology and safety feature in my car.
@@Jykobe4915.5 seconds. I would imagine that the IS might be a bit more nimble due to it being a little smaller, but the GS makes up for that in that the interior has more space and it might be a little more quiet inside. Other than that, same drive train.
Hey bro, keep ballin! Just turned 30 this year and treated myself to this car. 2023 IS 350 F sport in white with white interior. 15% tint and ppf package. Never sell this car; it was so hard to find, i had to travel over 100 miles to find one of two in stock that had AWD (Colorado Winters). Take good care of it, and we should get over 300K miles, no problem. Btw jealous of your views. :)
That’s awesome bro 😎 Congrats 👏🏼 definitely a baller car to have at 30 lol the white interior looks really nice. Sometimes I wish I would have gotten white interior but then I’m just too scared of staining it lol well thanks for watching bro and enjoy your new ride 😎🤟🏽 300k miles here we go!
Wow that is a rare combo. Very nice. I bought a 2023 IS 350 F Sport RWD in Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0 with white interior last year. I had to travel 500+ miles for this color as well but so worth it tbh imo 🔥

In the real-world though….different freaking story. Jason Camisa said the IS 500 and the Supra are dead even on non-prepped surfaces. (e.g. Not magazine style.) Swap out those awful Bridgestones for Michelin PS4S’, upgrade the air filter, slide it into Sport S+ & Manual, and bam! 😜
@@blu_is500 man I’m jealous. I wanted the v8 but definitely gas gonna be hurting me haha yup I’m at 23k miles and 16 months in … some commuting and definitely just finding excuses to cruise somewhere. Spec sheet means nothing to me… it’s all about the whole package and Lexus definitely checks all the boxes. Have you tried burning out and doing donuts yet with your car? 😂
That’s awesome bro 😎🤟🏽 oh man I really love that white interior too. Sometime I wish i would have gotten white interior. I love the contrast. At the time I was too afraid to get the whites all dirty but now I wouldn’t care 😂 I want a little more contrast in my interior
I want the IS 500 but each time I say I’m going to buy it, part of me is saying it’s better to invest that type of money into an asset not liability. Sometimes I think of it like you only live once, other times I say don’t be stupid with your money
lol yeh I’m with you on that dilemma. Everyone’s in a different stage in life and have different financial situation. I’d say if you could afford and buying it won’t financially drain you … go for it 🤟🏽 lol life is a balance and indeed short. You have to enjoy some of your money while you’re still alive 😎🤟🏽
Thanks for watching 😎 oh that’s a tough one. Type s is also a beautiful car and just as reliable I think. Also faster than 350. Negative for me though is no touch screen, I’m not a fan of the instrument cluster vs my Lexus. Sometimes I like the center console and sometimes I think it’s too busy. It reminds me of those early 2000s home stereo system you get from Best Buy that has Cassette and CD player if you know what I mean. Buttt then the Lexus still has a CD player lol soooo…..Oh and I love the traditional gear shifter You should definitely go test drive them both and see how you feel driving in long commutes and twisty roads for handling
No prob 😎 yes the CD player definitely should have been removed and used as a phone storage compartment or something lol flat bottom steering wheel would have been a nice touch as well. But even with these flaws this car is just a pleasure for everyday commute
Hey man I’m looking to buy a used 2021 is350. I’ve been driving a 2008 civic lx manual since 2012 and ready for an upgrade. Is there a lot of maintenance for this car? Also how does it do with speed bumps? What were the biggest differences you noticed immediately coming from a civic? I think this car is the perfect package. Sometimes I feel like it’s too much car for me but I havnt treated myself in a while and I can now finally afford it. I’d park it so far from other cars haha. I’ll drop a sub to follow your journey with this beautiful vehicle
Hey bro! Thanks for watching and wow thats awesome yeh I did the same with my 2009 civic lx manual..drove that thing to the ground lol. The maintenance is going to cost you more than the civic. 5k Miles increments. Oil change is every 10k miles though. Brake jobs will cost more. The tires are good for 30-45k miles I believe depending on what brand you get (summer vs all season tires) The rear and front has different size wheels so no tire rotation. Tires are also like 1k - 1500 minimum vs $500-800 for civic. Its good on speed bumps but on driveway with incline you could scrape the bottom if not careful. Biggest difference is the v6 speed and RWD. definitely a lot more powerful and amazing handling. Turning radius really good. That V6 sound is music to my ears compare to 4 cylinder. Car is well balanced and very comfortable while being sporty (Civic started hurting my back and butt on long commutes thats 1 hr or longer). I don't struggle when driving up the hill at higher elevation and I could easily pass 70 mph. I couldn't do that on my civic Oh its premium gas only so keep that in mind. Bottom line is it's gonna cost you a little more for maintenance but I think it's worth it for me. I also service my car at the Lexus dealership. It cost more but i love the service they provide from no wait time, free quality coffee and complementary Lexus car for the day. I think you deserve it bro! You should go for it! sometimes its nice to treat yourself with something nice like ...a Lexus lol yes and I still park my car far when I can
Helpful video bro! Question, why didn’t the switching out on tires/higher insurance rates/gas prem. point you to an ES instead? Trying to make a decision for myself, thanks!
Thanks for watching bro! That’s honestly a good question and before buying this car I’ve been going back and forth on practicality and value proposition. This car just looks so dang sexy from all angles. I love the feel of the rear wheel drive especially when driving twisty roads. This has good handling and feels sporty. ES is not good at that and not exciting for that scenario. ES is more comfortable…more luxury feel … better noise isolation Ultimately I decided if I wanted a smart and practical car then I should just stick with the Honda civic or Toyota Camry. And if I wanted to get a premium / luxury car I should get the car that brings a smile to my face when cruising normally and when I want to step on the gas pedal and do some crazy turns lol the premium gas can get expensive though 😩 Id say ES is the smarter choice if you don’t care about the better handling…RWD and the sportier feel. ES feels more modern and roomier as well. Go test drive both cars. Make sure you really test drive it! And see which one makes you happy 😀
I just bought a 2024 IS350. I debated back and forth about the ES but I wanted a practical AND sporty sedan, so I went with the IS. And the Mark Levinson sounds great with a little Megadeth. 😊
I just got a 2023 IS 350 over the weekend. My only dislikes- the speakers are not premium and way below par, the lack of storage and the lack of USB ports. Other than that, love it.
Nice congrats bro! 😎🤟🏽 yes the speakers are bad considering the price of the car .. my sisters 2014 Camry sounds better with better bass. USB is plenty for me and I have a extension adapter with additional usb A and USB-c

Hey bro it's worth it! I've been in different rental cars and this is still my favorite car. I did buy it brand new in 2022. in 2022 a used 2021 cost the same if not more than a new model. I pay $800 a month and in June will be my 2 years with the car. I did get the prepaid service for $3500 (50k service) I figured if I'm gonna buy a nice new luxury car I'd like to experienced the luxury service as well lol at least for the first 50k miles. My goal is to pay it all off within a year or 2. You could get a good used deal these days so I would look at that. The interest are high though so keep that in mind.
No not really. I don’t drive to the office ( grass valley) when there’s a lot of snow. I’ve driven in 1 inch or less and it’s fine. I just got new Michelins A/S pilot sports tires so maybe I’ll drive to Lake Tahoe this winter haha
Thanks dude 😎🙏🏽 yes still not tired of it yet lol if your looking to own for long term and not want to drain your wallet on repairs and maintenance .. Lexus but I would think BMW might have more fun factor and technology
@@abhisheknauduri7013 haha so true love this V6 and just love everything about the ride quality … my next car though will have to be something other than black interior though 😆 I need to change it up a bit
@mahntasticfilms6906 I agree 💯 I love the comfort and ride quality and the seats are amazing. Haha yeah just know that getting the color you want will only be hard if you care about exterior as well like myself 🤣😂 Took me like two months to find a blue exterior and luckily I got white interior too with it lol cuz I wanted a non-black interior as well.

@@abhisheknauduri7013 lol yeh I love black and grey interiors but I feel like now I’m craving for something that isn’t so safe … like white interior and I also love brown interior now. Maybe I’m just getting old 🤔 😆
If you decide to go with the car is300 is350 even the is500 take it to the mountains and do canyon runs with lots of twisty roads.. the car isn’t really fun when you’re going straight line because its lack of power but when you’re in and out of turns through the canyons the handling of the cars suspension makes up for it you may not be the fastest in straight line but if you know how to drive you definitely compete with BMW even in a 4cyl porches you’re going to lose unless you’re a driver driver and the mk5 Supra don’t even try it 😂 hope this helps anyone car is a great daily but if you want it as your “fun” car take it to canyons to really enjoy it
GUYS: you don’t NEED awd. You need really good tires for winter duty. I have the 500 and drive it in the winter in the pacific NW, with winter tires. Works just fine. Biggest lie of the decade is “I need awd in case it snows one inch” Improve your driving skills, have the proper tires and you will be fine
I 100% agree with this statement! People think they need awd but they really don’t. Especially living here in California. I’m not gonna lie I used to be one of those lol “I want AWD so I could drive to Lake Tahoe” … then I realized I’ve been driving everywhere with my Honda civic lx just fine Having good tires for winter and driving skills is key. Now there are places where awd is the way to go but that’s a small exception
If i wanted power and shit. M340i or even a redsport 400. But tbh i want good sounding smooth and hella reliable. Ive had really bad experiences with cars and expensive fixes and i just want something i can beat on once in a while and enjoy a good ride
Yup this is the exact perfect car for what you just described. If I really wanted a race oriented car I’d just get an old Honda civic with manual transmission and modify it … but this Lexus is not that nor do I want it to be
Yup just the standard premium audio. It’s actually pretty good. Clarity is good. Bass is good and more than enough but could be better. I’ll probably install aftermarket subwoofer in the future…. Maybe 🤔 I’ve tested out the mark Levinson on the new ES and RX and honestly it’s disappointing. I expected the bass and clarity to be better but it’s not. I’ve even played with audio settings. I prefer my standard speakers for bass over the mark Levinson tbh.
Hey bro! yes I still have this car and love every minute of it. I still turn around and stare at it when I park it lol. I usually drive conservatively but when I drive aggressively it definitely doesn't disappoint. I could do sharp turns while stepping on the gas pedal confidently. oh and I still get compliments from strangers lol I 100% recommend this car!
@@jokoko1969 good question 🤔 I think just to inform you … if you have a child or someone really light in weight … or no weight …it detects and I think it disables it and reminds you airbag off?
My brother, but now I am confused between the LEXUS IS350 2022 and the BMW G20 330i, and I am afraid because these cars are from Mercedes. They say that they do not last for more than 6 years, and I have kept the car for more than 5 years. They say that it has problems and such, but you as a user, what do you say, which one is better, Lexus? Or BMW V 1- Driving 2- Reliability 3- The comfort of the car on long roads and how well it can withstand pressure. Because I am confused about both and I am afraid about reliability and driving pleasure. Explain to me and I am sorry for the inconvenience.Could you please answer the question of car reliability? I drive fast and driving is the most important thing to me. reliability. Will the car be able to withstand his 170,000 miles on his Voc? Will it be as reliable as, say, a Lexus? I like it so much that I'm concerned about its reliability and high price . So what do you think? Is it reliable? Which one is better? In all respects, especially when it comes to reliability and driving feel, there is a LEXUS IS and a BMW G20 and how do they differ? I'm sorry for the inconvenience. thank you.
I would say if you plan to drive for many miles past 170,000 the Lexus IS 350 is the answer. Very comfortable on long commutes. Seats feels good and snug ….. I don’t know if it’s comfortable if you’re a bigger / wider person. No creeks or rattles from dashboard. Sound isolation is pretty good not as good as like the GS, ES, LS but still good. Very good on handling and twisty roads. It’s not the fastest but more than enough power to past cars on the freeway. I would totally get Lexus … (obviously why I got it lol ) over BMW … unless you plan to lease and return when 3 year of over … and if you plan not to drive too much. I drive a lot for fun and for commute to work. This is best of both worlds. You’ll waste your money on repairs and maintenance for Mercedes and BMW ….. hey if you’ve got money to waste and money is not an issue then who cares… get whatever makes you happy
@@mahntasticfilms6906 Very nice. So, is the rear seat space of the Lexus the same as the rear seat space of the BMW G20, and is the Lexus enjoyable to drive?
@@MohamedQureshiI feel like it’s in the same class but best thing to do is test drive them both in long commutes and on curvy roads… that’ll let you know what car is best for yah
@@NeyoG hey bro I would go test drive it and compare it with other cars. I’m not gonna lie I’m not a fan of the is300. It felt slow and laggy from stop and go acceleration. Almost felt like driving my Honda civic with 140hp. I’m sure acceleration is powerful when you’re already highway speed. I definitely wouldn’t settle for something just because it’s available

@@szuberi man tough choice. They’re 2 different cars. If you want that manual and want to always step on that gas pedal and race or drive in gravel roads… sti would be the one. I test drove the new WRX and although fun when stepping full throttle and shifting gears …. Everything else sucks. Uncomfortable and cheap feeling. Seats too high even when adjusted ( I’m only 5 ft 7). Not fun car when just regular cruising around town. I honestly would rather get civic Si but that’s just me …..Lexus is350 is on another level though
@@mahntasticfilms6906 thanks for your reply. Much appreciated. I test drove the IS and found it to be amazing except that I feel it needs a lot more low end torque. Not sure if a tune can fix that. I haven't modified toyotas ever before. I had two Civic Si models in the past and loved them. A 2008 and 2010 and the K tune worked wonders. I missed on upgrading to the Wrx back in the day because kids happened but they are all grown now so I'm ready to go back where I left. Can't let the boy racer die in me 👍
@@szuberi no prob! Yes you’re right about the low end torque. I flip it on manual mode and sports mode to get the most. Nothing beats a true manual though in terms of that racer feel. Yeh you’re never too old for that rice rocket racer boy car 😂. I do want to buy a manual car for my next ride. I miss shifting gears
I like the IS350, it's a great looking and reliable car. In Canada they cost more than the 2023 G70 3.3T, which is bizzare. Your seating position is waaay to streched out! You should be much closer with bent arms and basically your wrist touching the top of the steering wheel.
Great video! I really enjoyed your insights on the Lexus. I'd love to discuss a potential collaboration opportunity with you regarding car accessories. What's the best way to reach you?
Welp I guess if you’re rich and don’t care about a nice car you could always drive an old Toyota Corolla or hire a driver … I know some rich folks who just have a full time driver … driving them around in a black suburban
Yup I love it too in combination of the fully touch screen. I use it most of the time to avoid fingerprints on the screen (gross 😂) I also think it adds to the luxury feeling. I don’t think Lexus should remove it but refine it. Make it like the Apple trackpad
The IS350 isn’t eco friendly (19 to 25) or have a turbo. Its naturally aspirated. It’s an attainable sports sedan that satisfies the needs of 95% of us. Of course the IS500 is a beast, if you can afford one AFTER you find one. Very rare and expensive.
How do you like the basic sound system? And who makes it? If I’m gonna get this slow car at least I’m gonna get the Mark Levinson sound system for the music lol
It’s decent the only thing is it lacks bass. If the bass was stronger it would be a solid system. I heard mark levinson doesn’t have great bass either in the IS. I’m thinking of installing a small subwoofer and amp in the trunk lol
"buttery smoooooooth" bro that riff sounded like a musiqsoulchild riff 😂🔥 impressive

I’m at 18K miles in 17 months of ownership and I work from home! 😂 Couple the stunning looks with that hum of the V8….have mercy. 😍 If you’re chasing spec sheets, the car doesn’t compete. In the real-world though….different freaking story. Jason Camisa said the IS 500 and the Supra are dead even on non-prepped surfaces. (e.g. Not magazine style.) Swap out those awful Bridgestones for Michelin PS4S’, upgrade the air filter, slide it into Sport S+ & Manual, and bam! 😜
@@blu_is500 man I’m jealous. I wanted the v8 but definitely gas gonna be hurting me haha yup I’m at 23k miles and 16 months in … some commuting and definitely just finding excuses to cruise somewhere. Spec sheet means nothing to me… it’s all about the whole package and Lexus definitely checks all the boxes. Have you tried burning out and doing donuts yet with your car? 😂
I have the same vehicle except white interior and I love it every time I drive it. Love it
That’s awesome bro 😎🤟🏽 oh man I really love that white interior too. Sometime I wish i would have gotten white interior. I love the contrast. At the time I was too afraid to get the whites all dirty but now I wouldn’t care 😂 I want a little more contrast in my interior
I want the IS 500 but each time I say I’m going to buy it, part of me is saying it’s better to invest that type of money into an asset not liability. Sometimes I think of it like you only live once, other times I say don’t be stupid with your money
lol yeh I’m with you on that dilemma. Everyone’s in a different stage in life and have different financial situation. I’d say if you could afford and buying it won’t financially drain you … go for it 🤟🏽 lol life is a balance and indeed short. You have to enjoy some of your money while you’re still alive 😎🤟🏽
Very true
You only live once. If you work hard, you should treat yourself. It doesn’t have to be this exact moment but you should plan for the is500
@@kwameglover1330 yup what’s the point of working hard when your only planning to enjoy it after retirement when you’re hellah old lol
i have my lexus for 15 years, 250k miles on it and no problem at all.
Very nice 👍🏼 I’m sure I could get this car past 300k miles .. we’ll see
Thanks for the nice review. Trying to decide between a 24 TLX Type S and this is350 F Sport
Thanks for watching 😎 oh that’s a tough one. Type s is also a beautiful car and just as reliable I think. Also faster than 350.
Negative for me though is no touch screen, I’m not a fan of the instrument cluster vs my Lexus. Sometimes I like the center console and sometimes I think it’s too busy. It reminds me of those early 2000s home stereo system you get from Best Buy that has Cassette and CD player if you know what I mean. Buttt then the Lexus still has a CD player lol soooo…..Oh and I love the traditional gear shifter
You should definitely go test drive them both and see how you feel driving in long commutes and twisty roads for handling
Thx for your thoughts. This one is on my list even though it’s dated. 2 things surprise me. The cd player and lack of a flat bottom steering wheel.
No prob 😎 yes the CD player definitely should have been removed and used as a phone storage compartment or something lol flat bottom steering wheel would have been a nice touch as well. But even with these flaws this car is just a pleasure for everyday commute
Hey man I’m looking to buy a used 2021 is350. I’ve been driving a 2008 civic lx manual since 2012 and ready for an upgrade. Is there a lot of maintenance for this car? Also how does it do with speed bumps? What were the biggest differences you noticed immediately coming from a civic? I think this car is the perfect package. Sometimes I feel like it’s too much car for me but I havnt treated myself in a while and I can now finally afford it. I’d park it so far from other cars haha. I’ll drop a sub to follow your journey with this beautiful vehicle
Hey bro! Thanks for watching and wow thats awesome yeh I did the same with my 2009 civic lx manual..drove that thing to the ground lol.
The maintenance is going to cost you more than the civic. 5k Miles increments. Oil change is every 10k miles though. Brake jobs will cost more. The tires are good for 30-45k miles I believe depending on what brand you get (summer vs all season tires) The rear and front has different size wheels so no tire rotation. Tires are also like 1k - 1500 minimum vs $500-800 for civic.
Its good on speed bumps but on driveway with incline you could scrape the bottom if not careful.
Biggest difference is the v6 speed and RWD. definitely a lot more powerful and amazing handling. Turning radius really good. That V6 sound is music to my ears compare to 4 cylinder. Car is well balanced and very comfortable while being sporty (Civic started hurting my back and butt on long commutes thats 1 hr or longer). I don't struggle when driving up the hill at higher elevation and I could easily pass 70 mph. I couldn't do that on my civic
Oh its premium gas only so keep that in mind.
Bottom line is it's gonna cost you a little more for maintenance but I think it's worth it for me. I also service my car at the Lexus dealership. It cost more but i love the service they provide from no wait time, free quality coffee and complementary Lexus car for the day.
I think you deserve it bro! You should go for it! sometimes its nice to treat yourself with something nice like ...a Lexus lol yes and I still park my car far when I can
You got this bro. It’ll be well worth it
Helpful video bro! Question, why didn’t the switching out on tires/higher insurance rates/gas prem. point you to an ES instead? Trying to make a decision for myself, thanks!
Thanks for watching bro! That’s honestly a good question and before buying this car I’ve been going back and forth on practicality and value proposition. This car just looks so dang sexy from all angles. I love the feel of the rear wheel drive especially when driving twisty roads. This has good handling and feels sporty. ES is not good at that and not exciting for that scenario. ES is more comfortable…more luxury feel … better noise isolation
Ultimately I decided if I wanted a smart and practical car then I should just stick with the Honda civic or Toyota Camry. And if I wanted to get a premium / luxury car I should get the car that brings a smile to my face when cruising normally and when I want to step on the gas pedal and do some crazy turns lol the premium gas can get expensive though 😩
Id say ES is the smarter choice if you don’t care about the better handling…RWD and the sportier feel. ES feels more modern and roomier as well.
Go test drive both cars. Make sure you really test drive it! And see which one makes you happy 😀
I just bought a 2024 IS350. I debated back and forth about the ES but I wanted a practical AND sporty sedan, so I went with the IS. And the Mark Levinson sounds great with a little Megadeth. 😊

I can’t wait to buy this car. What are your payments like? Did you buy it brand new/put anything down?
Hey bro it's worth it! I've been in different rental cars and this is still my favorite car. I did buy it brand new in 2022. in 2022 a used 2021 cost the same if not more than a new model. I pay $800 a month and in June will be my 2 years with the car. I did get the prepaid service for $3500 (50k service) I figured if I'm gonna buy a nice new luxury car I'd like to experienced the luxury service as well lol at least for the first 50k miles.
My goal is to pay it all off within a year or 2. You could get a good used deal these days so I would look at that. The interest are high though so keep that in mind.
Do you encounter any snow during the winters? How is it?
No not really. I don’t drive to the office ( grass valley) when there’s a lot of snow. I’ve driven in 1 inch or less and it’s fine. I just got new Michelins A/S pilot sports tires so maybe I’ll drive to Lake Tahoe this winter haha
That car will win you some races. If your fast off the light it will do well. It looks like a great option for road course and twisty roads.
Ohh definitely 😎.. so much fun on twisty roads. The best handling for it while being comfortable haha
Such a beautiful car. Debating whether I want this or the BMW 3 series.... Just wow!
Thanks dude 😎🙏🏽 yes still not tired of it yet lol if your looking to own for long term and not want to drain your wallet on repairs and maintenance .. Lexus but I would think BMW might have more fun factor and technology

If you decide to go with the car is300 is350 even the is500 take it to the mountains and do canyon runs with lots of twisty roads.. the car isn’t really fun when you’re going straight line because its lack of power but when you’re in and out of turns through the canyons the handling of the cars suspension makes up for it you may not be the fastest in straight line but if you know how to drive you definitely compete with BMW even in a 4cyl porches you’re going to lose unless you’re a driver driver and the mk5 Supra don’t even try it 😂 hope this helps anyone car is a great daily but if you want it as your “fun” car take it to canyons to really enjoy it
there is nothing actually sporty about a lexus. It's reliable, durable and that's it
BRO OMFG I LOVE MY CAR THE IS350 SOUNDS SO GOOD
Yes the sounds is like music to my ears lol
GUYS: you don’t NEED awd. You need really good tires for winter duty. I have the 500 and drive it in the winter in the pacific NW, with winter tires. Works just fine.
Biggest lie of the decade is “I need awd in case it snows one inch”
Improve your driving skills, have the proper tires and you will be fine
I 100% agree with this statement! People think they need awd but they really don’t. Especially living here in California. I’m not gonna lie I used to be one of those lol “I want AWD so I could drive to Lake Tahoe” … then I realized I’ve been driving everywhere with my Honda civic lx just fine
Having good tires for winter and driving skills is key.
Now there are places where awd is the way to go but that’s a small exception
If i wanted power and shit. M340i or even a redsport 400. But tbh i want good sounding smooth and hella reliable. Ive had really bad experiences with cars and expensive fixes and i just want something i can beat on once in a while and enjoy a good ride
Yup this is the exact perfect car for what you just described. If I really wanted a race oriented car I’d just get an old Honda civic with manual transmission and modify it … but this Lexus is not that nor do I want it to be
Your car has the regular audio package right? How's the audio?
Yup just the standard premium audio. It’s actually pretty good. Clarity is good. Bass is good and more than enough but could be better. I’ll probably install aftermarket subwoofer in the future…. Maybe 🤔
I’ve tested out the mark Levinson on the new ES and RX and honestly it’s disappointing. I expected the bass and clarity to be better but it’s not. I’ve even played with audio settings. I prefer my standard speakers for bass over the mark Levinson tbh.
still have this car? if so do you recommend it to this day / do you beat on it hard?
Hey bro! yes I still have this car and love every minute of it. I still turn around and stare at it when I park it lol. I usually drive conservatively but when I drive aggressively it definitely doesn't disappoint. I could do sharp turns while stepping on the gas pedal confidently. oh and I still get compliments from strangers lol I 100% recommend this car!
why is your air bag warning light on? I notice this in a lot of IS350 videos from America.
@@jokoko1969 good question 🤔 I think just to inform you … if you have a child or someone really light in weight … or no weight …it detects and I think it disables it and reminds you airbag off?
My brother, but now I am confused between the LEXUS IS350 2022 and the BMW G20 330i, and I am afraid because these cars are from Mercedes. They say that they do not last for more than 6 years, and I have kept the car for more than 5 years. They say that it has problems and such, but you as a user, what do you say, which one is better, Lexus? Or BMW V 1- Driving 2- Reliability 3- The comfort of the car on long roads and how well it can withstand pressure. Because I am confused about both and I am afraid about reliability and driving pleasure. Explain to me and I am sorry for the inconvenience.Could you please answer the question of car reliability? I drive fast and driving is the most important thing to me. reliability. Will the car be able to withstand his 170,000 miles on his Voc? Will it be as reliable as, say, a Lexus? I like it so much that I'm concerned about its reliability and high price . So what do you think? Is it reliable? Which one is better? In all respects, especially when it comes to reliability and driving feel, there is a LEXUS IS and a BMW G20 and how do they differ? I'm sorry for the inconvenience. thank you.
I would say if you plan to drive for many miles past 170,000 the Lexus IS 350 is the answer. Very comfortable on long commutes. Seats feels good and snug ….. I don’t know if it’s comfortable if you’re a bigger / wider person. No creeks or rattles from dashboard. Sound isolation is pretty good not as good as like the GS, ES, LS but still good.
Very good on handling and twisty roads. It’s not the fastest but more than enough power to past cars on the freeway.
I would totally get Lexus … (obviously why I got it lol ) over BMW … unless you plan to lease and return when 3 year of over … and if you plan not to drive too much. I drive a lot for fun and for commute to work. This is best of both worlds.
You’ll waste your money on repairs and maintenance for Mercedes and BMW ….. hey if you’ve got money to waste and money is not an issue then who cares… get whatever makes you happy
@@mahntasticfilms6906 Very nice. So, is the rear seat space of the Lexus the same as the rear seat space of the BMW G20, and is the Lexus enjoyable to drive?
@@MohamedQureshiI feel like it’s in the same class but best thing to do is test drive them both in long commutes and on curvy roads… that’ll let you know what car is best for yah
This car kinda looks like if a supra was a sedan but my heart is set on the LS 460.
It kindah does 🤔 huh like the side profile but toned down. Oh LS 460 is the ultimate luxury sedan for sure 👌🏼
In México the only available Lexus IS is 300 with 4 cyl turbo 241 hp, i dont know if thats a good idea or i should wait a little more for the next gen
@@NeyoG hey bro I would go test drive it and compare it with other cars. I’m not gonna lie I’m not a fan of the is300. It felt slow and laggy from stop and go acceleration.
