5:40 i flew out of my seat
Wow!! I love how smooth it is to drive this IS350.
I'll get one soon for sure!
Bye Bye Honda Fit !! :P
get two of them
Great video you did everything a person should do during a test drive of a sports car. I like this car even more now.
Just got a '16 IS 300 F Sport and love it so far! That engine sound is so nice - video doesn't do it justice honestly.
It's definitely enough power. I think the power difference between this and the 350 is going to mainly be at the top end. Still, it is fun to rev it out. :)
Right...
^ Someone who hasn't spent more than 5 minutes with the car apparently.
I mean how are you going to tell someone who owns the car how it drives, like I don't drive it every day? :/
Haha fair enough :)
that's how its done! awesome test drive!
Nice drive..! Much love from Ann Arbor bro! keep up the good vids

My dream car! :)
Nice videos btw 😜😘😌
What a nice interior
I have a 2019 Lexus IS350 F-Sport AWD. Love this car.
Just can't wait 🙏🙏
8:55 WHAT ARE THOOOOOOSE!?!?
I believe those are Gucci shoes sir 🧐
Fantastic interior...and nice watch ;)
Definitely my dream car when I start driving in 6 years
A normal Person yea probably a 2017
You got really low expectations for "dream car" huh
@@justin60222 not every dream car needs to be a lambo bro. Some people really like the smaller intricacies of certain cars
Itll change again lmao
@@justin60222Thats his opinion. A real car dude appreciates all cars and their intricacies.
I would personally not want to own something like a Lambo. It seems like a pain to deal with and you’re a target everywhere you go.
Right now for me, my dream car is a Lexus IS500 and will switch out the exhaust system so i can hear my V8 purr.
I ended up buying an IS350 three years ago because of this video
I ended up getting a 2019 last year when they were on clearance, and it was partially due to this video and the nighttime drives he did with it. AWD F-Sport for maximum traction in Canadian winter's, and it can hit 100kmh (60mph) from 1st to 2nd in the same time.
i need this car 😱
Hey winding road, would you do extra POV if your viewers loaned you their car, like Matt does on The Smoking Tire? Would you ever consider doing it?
2 years n no answer..
Mr. E DEAD💀💀
Completely ignore you 😞
The fact they ignore this, is sad.
Sounds not bad inside.
Hi winding road are you the topher?
A beauty
can you also make the new 2017 lexus in the same parking lot as this please..thanks so much...great job btw:)
My dream car!!😍😍
Swede On two wheels go get one
such a well insulated cabin and cool digital dash
Well Insulted? I guess not
@@Sulto_ insulated
@@FiredEmpire typing error, however its not insulated well, im driving this like car daily.
Over 60 or 80 Km/h i can hear the wind and the wheels..
Waiting for you to do a Jeep Wrangler 2016 Rubicon four door black walk around test drive and night drive just like this Lexus test drive and night drive.. I'll be waiting 🤔🙃
love my 16 so much I watched this vid for fun
Looking at purchasing a used one and doing my research now...How has the car been? Have you had it since new?
Matthew Moss same
@@matthewmoss5928 it very good, but has AC problem
In terms of fun factor and interior quality, which do you like better this or the S3?
They are priced similarly as far as I know, so are worth considering aginst one another.
This one is good, consider about "after sale services" if the dealership providing good service to the customer
Night time drive next!
Can you do a 2017 Lexus is350 f sport the exact same way as this one! With a night drive in the hotel parking lot like this one...a separate walk around.. With a color of black or with blue thank you 😊
Woahhh the final shots at 9:01 make the IS look like a VW Beetle ~ all scrunched up like a dome!! What happened to the camera resolution starting at 9:01 ?!?
Basil Tab -fisheye lens distortion. It happens in most action cameras with wide angle or fisheye lens.
Hello, I have a Lexus Is 350 f sport, and the tire mark appears from time to time, and sometimes it disappears. May I know the reason? Thank you.
can you do the new lexus is350 f sport 2017 the same way you did this and do a walkaround (different video for the walkaround) and a night drive in the hotel parking place wear other cars be? with the color of white or blue or red thank you....
hell ya !!1
cool
I really like this car. It feels special to sit in & drive, effortless power & luxury features.
The only things I'm not sure about is the front grille (still on thr fence on the design) and the relatively low fuel economy.
Fuel economy is low because it is a v6 also has a turbo. Cant expect a sport car to be good on gas. The milage it gets actually good. I own a f sport is 350 car worth every penny
@@m1k3sh03z turbo? Really? I own 2015 fsport 250 no turbo how come
Fuel economy is reasonable considering its engine size.
Is this car equal to or more fun than a Cadillac ATS (non V)?
I hate Lexus’s latest door chime it sounds so similar to early 2000’s General Motors vehicles
Dream car 2024
Seems like a lot of interior noise for 62 mph. Is that tires??
This car is GREAT. But i can't understand why thers so much noise from wheels....
5:44
What's about the F-Sport that's different?
everything stock in this video ?
Really hate all the empty space on the radio console
Thats for storage
Wrysd6 is not a problem with that I
Can you please make video on crown vic if it's possible? Thx a lot
+NawafAl7rbe Crown Victoria discontinued in the 2011
But Ford going to bring it back in 2016
allaboutford.com/2016-ford-crown-victoria/
+Shirke M that is now what we know as the taurus sho.
sounds so good wonder what is making that supercharger whine sound? wonder if I could make my Camry XSE sound the same with an intake I believe its the same engine
It is not supercharger
@@zazerocoldtrue
I got the same car it's a good daily driver not the fastest but it does best the Hondas lol. and it is so manly I am always the youngest one at the dealer when I go for service. usually it's old retired people in Lexus cars I am 22
danny mostly because Lexus used to make very "boring" cars but were comfortable and reliable now ever since the lfa they decided they would try and make more "driver" cars
danny just bought a 2015 at 19
same exact thing ahahah im 22 and i look very out of place in the service waiting area. '14 nebula 350 f sport
Max Maude that’s sweet I got an atomic silver took me 6 months to finally find the right one
@@madmax232 how much are paying for insurance? im planning on getting the same car soon?
Wish they sold this in uk
which is more silent in the highway? The 350 or the 200t?
onviously the 200t... lol really?
Is it just me or is the noise from the wind really loud?
+Lamarda How does that affect the noise from the wind?
hmmmm, not sure if i'm a fan of that interior. Certainly the center console, looks too blocky for my taste. Makes it look a bit dated imo
+Thierry Van Tillo Having driven one I can say that the center console plastics look/feel cheaper than they should.
R1600Turbo thats a shame... Its an otherwise nice looking car
+Thierry Van Tillo Yeah it doesn't look luxury car at all. Looks more economy sedan. At least Lexus is paying closer attention to how the car drives though.
+Thierry Van Tillo yeah the part with the cd slot is terrible,just a huge block of plastic lol
so people can actually buy their F performance part from the dealership? like there intake, exhaust, an suspension.
Um.....The Michigan State Police would like to have a word with you. Better call Steve Lehto.
It’s my Lexus 🐗
better than A4,3series
Is it normal for is350 f sports to be bumpy?
Sport mode
I know this engine doesn't have a supercharger, but why do I hear a supercharger whine when the volume is turned up? Also, this engine sounds seriously pissed when revved to the redline, supercharger whine and all.
+g5457s
That engine whine has been been around since 2006. Its completely normal, something to do with the direct injection in the car.
+Brian Huang true
Its direct/port injection thats why
It's a naturally aspirated fuel injected 3.5 Liter V6 my brother has a gs350 which has the same engine and yeah it sounds pretty mean for a V6
Maybe a white color
0:16 W car button
I do love Lexus as whole but... it is ridiculous that all their automatics whine a lot, you can hear it at any revs, it is almost like u have a mechanical supercharger lurking beneath the bonnet
I believe thats the sound from the torque converter ? Could be wrong too but i have heard several auto trans making the same sound at high rpm but not the ones with a dual clutch.
is it real or synthetic sound of engine?
+nlru I think the sound of the engine is piped into the cabin, but I could be wrong, cause I know that the GS350 does that.
+nlru
theres a tube that helps bring the sound in the cabin at a certain rpm range. i guess you can say it's real.
it's because it has direct fuel injection
5:44 😮
Love lexus but ya’ll don’t think that transmission whine is annoying?
My 2014 is250 awd does that whine too. My mechanic friend says it might be the rear differential but I don't know because alot of Lexus forums says it's normal
I waited for this car forever. Great car actually but you do lose a lot of stuff getting the AWD version (sadly). Namely, the adaptive suspension and 8spd auto disappears if you check the AWD option box.
P.S. if you wanted to save $ and get the IS250 instead, I strongly ask you to reconsider. Yes the car is mostly the same, but the small V6 is both thirsty and underpowered. For the same $, get the ES350 sitting across from it in the showroom.
you forgot to mention that the 250 will be discontinued and be replaced by the 200t soon
Joe Antonio
IS200t will probably a much better drive (lighter & more power), but RWD only means it probably will have limited appeal here in the North.
EDIT: Well, the IS300 AWD will surely be a better powerplant with the added heft of the AWD system.
+Trades46
AWD F-sport has adaptive suspension..
Brian Huang
Because I somehow mistaken the specs with the Caddy ATS I was looking at. Thank-you.
Still that AWD 6spd only affair is sad really. The ATS will be getting a new V6 with ~335hp and a 8spd automatic next year. If Lexus offered the IS350 AWD with an 8speeder there would be one on my driveway already.
does this car come just in stick shift?
+Alexis Solorzano That's auto that you see in the video. I think they only come with an 8AT.
Appears to me I️t cannot drift, is that so?
Its rwd so yes it can drift
Trains railroad crossing
is this car reliable? eny owners here who would like to tell me about lexus cars? Im thinking to buy some lexus after i sell my merdecedes vito.
well better than MB or BMW? thats a lot :O
incredible reliable
Probably best decision you'll ever make. Had Mercedes it's a price of junk. Real luxury reliability is Lexus.
Oh sweet thx man. But about that mercedes... D:< what MB u had?
+TopsiDian FI c250 had so many engine problems
Poor car shifting down on 45
Yo 3 views
Is it just me or does anyone else hear that "whine" like sound of this car in particular?
I hear it as well.
The pitch of the whine changes with engine revs. So it has something to do with the engine.
From what I have heard, it's the fuel pump. Other cars, for instance the GS 350, with this same engine have that feature. Probably more noticeable on this one due to the sound generator.
It's the intake
There's actually been a lot of discussion what the root cause of the noise is... no one seems to agree. Could be the transmission too. Now that I have looked around more, people have suggested a lot of different stuff, including timing chain, fuel pump, transmission, ... The point is, it's not a bad noise. It is normal.

V8 ???
+VIP_ 145 3.5 V6
The clock in the dash is stupid.
jesus loves u
Not even going over 70 🙄
Slowest shifts ever.
+The Swift Kid Did you watch the videos of the VW Tiguan?
ExactlyPrecisely
That is a SUV not a SPORTS CAR like this.
+The Swift Kid actually the hyundai elentra se has the slowest shifts ever lol
and jaguar or aston Martin ??
+Wold OliviO and lexus are already a gearbox 8-speeds which is very Quick.
when you compare the interior with a c class this lexus just looks sad.
wonderwall135 I'll take this car all day, every day over a C class.
I love Mercedes on every thing but hate the fact that they are not reliable
Don't like Lexus because they are ugly and look like Toyota Corolla but they are so cheap and reliable
So I don't know
Go for what I like or prefer or go for the best for my wallet and future :/
KP-48 agreed, I loved mercs until it was time to service them.
KP-48 Mercedes are the ugliest exterior in the luxury brand imo. Not understanding how this car looks like a Carolla either. Lol
Best for your wallet you sound like a complete idiot. You do realize that Lexus has a better warranty plan also cheaper to maintain the mercedez. You say it looks like a Corolla mean while benz is made by Chrysler. You sir are a dumb ass
Awful design
My 335i M would trash this thing.
+Angry Whale Too bad BMW's can't stay on the road and have horrible resale value. Enjoy while it lasts :)
Lolz Scuba Thats why everyone leases them.
+Angry Whale Yup, but then you're just throwing money away. BMW isn't that great when you weigh the cost/benefits, especially with better options available.
Haha
Shit bmw owners be like
BMW 340i is more better than this thing
6:40 unnecessary douchebag drifting between lanes. If you can't keep a lane in a gentle turn at 70 mph take the bus.
This car is just a mess of problems.
