@@VuckoHD I'd love to have that car! I was just making a joke so don't take it too seriously. One thing for sure, even if you were Mother Teresa, if you put yourself on youtube, sh*t is coming your way. Good luck to you.
There's so few IS250's with a manual...Also I didnt say I hate my automatic in general. During normal driving 99% of the time I love it, just during hills I need to manualy shift gears. And about sporty driving I wanted to let people know its not a 100% sporty transmission. But I have a sports car, my Lexus is a travel vehicle which it does excellent :)
‘In automatic transmission it keeps the gears very low’, that contradicts what you said next. I think you mean it keeps the revs low and keeps it in the highest possible gear
No, the car does this thing when you floor it where it hesitates n that’s the downshift. When driving normally it keeps you in the highest possible gear
Jel da se lupi taj auto ili ne jel kvalitetan kazi iz prve ruke. Kupio bih 220 icu ali nesto se svi zalite. Da li je realno dobar auto i da li bi ga preporucio
Pretty good list. I went for one with navigation screen as i found without it a bit confusing and unclear in the one I saw without it, I'm sure you get used to it. Coming from manual cars the automatic gearbox is a bit odd, the lack of anticipation it has can be a bit annoying although not really sure there's anything that can change that, The downshifts when not really needed when you just want a bit more power instantly are a bit annoying, and strange it downshifts in manual mode! The shifter up and down being the wrong way round is also really annoying, but just use the paddles. Overall such a good car, but a few little annoyances are there,but they're all relatively minor.
In this day and age, I can never own a car with no reverse camera. Turning my neck to reverse park should never happen after doing away with $12,000. That’s a huge deal-breaker for me.
That is funny. No car manufacturers do the shifter + & - the other way but I have thought the same thing. Not only on my IS250 but on every car I have owned with that feature.
I think the tiptronic + and - is how it should be. Wouldn’t want to accidentally shift up if it was the other way around due to g force and you want to stay in the gear your flooring.
I don't know a car whose rear view mirror doesn't shake with enough bass. I didn't notice the shift lock button (mine is missing) until seeing your videos. I don't know what it's for, but I wanna replace it after noticing I don't have it.
Thanks for watching my videos, as far as I heard shift lock button is used if your car broke down and you need to put it in neutral to move it out of the road or something.
Just brought myself the IS250 and loving it, will definitely be replacing the factory alloys with a decent set of mags. Only complaint is the touch screen is all in Japanese, anyone know if it can be changed to English? Or where i need to look to buy English replacement? But otherwise, im stoakd with the IS250!!
Hi Vucko, I like your videos! Nice job! I am loking to buy this model, but i am concerned about the door buttons placement. They are in front of the door handle. Does the door handle interfere pressing the buttons?
My 2006 Lexus IS250 has the navigation package with the manual gearbox that is a lot of fun. Only the carbon build on the intake valves bugs me when I have to clean them again. I like your rear lights, still not sure if I want to buy the same for my Lexus :).
If you install a drop can you'll never have to clean the intake valves again. I found a nice small generic one at Wal-Mart on line. Less than $30 including shipping. Works great, has a brass collection element and it's baffled. Just had to buy some line and reducers.
One thing I recommend is to better rehearse or script your words. I think it could be more succinct. It took a while to get to your point and it’s hard to listen to. I know English is probably your second language, but that’s why I think rehearsing or scripting will help you. Think about the point you’re trying to make. EG, the Sport mode in this car is not a true tip tiptronic transmission. it only lets you select the highest upper gear, not the actual gear itself. I wish it functioned like a standard tiptronic transmission.
All minor complaints. The storage thing is the only serious issue. A 250 is not a sports car, you should have bought a 350. An axle back exhaust would fix the exhaust note easy.
I would agree if I had Luxury pack IS250, but I have Sport package (its F sport before F Sport existed) and in my opinion its a missed opprotunity to put a bit louder exhaust especially because its a V6, nicely sounding engine
Vucko, you are complaining about storage in lexus, wait till you find a bmw :D they did not have cupholders until like 2005 in 5 series (mid size cars) and even modern ones lack a place to put your phone
You have the base model is250, no sat nag but the you have the paddle shift. Get the F sport version it’s mush better, or even still the ifs, which I have just bought the 2013 model. Awesome car.
I was saying 5 things I don't like while using the car, so didn't mention carbon build up. It is known issue but I don't don't drive my car so much, maybe 2000-3000km per year and by acceleration it still pulls hard so I don't think i will have to deal with that issue anytime soon.
@@zureai It works well, you're just redirecting the blow by. It routes it into the can, which can be emptied occasionally. I just checked mine, barely any, apparently it takes a long time, just residuals. 😎
If you go on hill or of, its natural you use the manuel. The car can not see where you drive too. The sound???? Never press the gas down??? Its great than.
Yes you can and to shift you dont have to be i S (manual) for IS250's refresh after 2008 like mine which is 2009. But it's probably sometimes annoying to people who have to put into S just so they can shift down because of unpleasant feeling in very low revs
You are stuck with the bass problem. Even a stronger mount will shake because all of the bass is not shaking through the car and the mount. Much of it is just coming from the air.
Lexus IS 250/350 have a switch on the dash to change the transmission shift intervals for hills or snow, try that buddy, it’s right side of steering wheel
Oh I thought its only snow mode and that it doesn't help with hills. Okay thanks for pointing out, will try although just a downshift is fine with me like Iexpkained in video :)
It has 3 modes, snow/ mud, power, and normal. Snow/mud locks the differential and changes shift points. Power changes shift points both on up, and down shifts.
Like your video's man. Small tip, you have the B function in your gear selction, that is specifically for driving in mountains and hills and will change your RPM's accordingly.
The biggest thing with the IS250 for me is the paddle shifters and how slow they shift. I figured if I set the light to around 5k rpm and hit it then it shifts perfect around 7k
@@VuckoHD I agree. Downshifts are very quick. And the car doesn't automatically upshift everyone in reviews complains about them but really when you own the car you know how they act and it's not really an issue
Totally disagree with everything you said about this amazing machine..the mirror..if it shakes..too much..simple don't play music,..but..i being blasting my music..and I don't have any problem with the mirror..i mean..i love this car so much..even I just got it..a few weeks...and it is same color as yours...just enjoy it men.
2:03 why only one cup holder... always puzzled me ... and on the transmission, why even waste the time putting the paddle shifters in this thing, lets be real here.
About paddle shifters its better to have them and have option to use it then nothing, I know many owners wont use it but some owners like me appreciate having them, especially that they are aluminium, not plastic like in many automatics
Not enough storage ? Isn't it a luxury sports car ? Get a S.U.V instead. Gosh The only problem with my one that I've had for 10 years is the lighter stopped working.
you need to replace the vents in the trunk, exhaust is getting in the cabin. replacing the vents will also prevent your amp from getting damp and dying. th-cam.com/video/CVL1Sm4CGo0/w-d-xo.html
It's not the mirror that is vibrating that much, the subwoofer is placed directly under the rear glass, behind the shelf. So the whole glass is vibrating like a membrane.
I'm not saying every IS250 should be loud, but my particular IS250 has sport package. Lexus put sportier suspension and wider wheel/tires but I wish they also made the exhaust sound sportier aswell but I understand your point
@John Doe there is a big difference between 250 and 350. Is 250 power is good enough for city driving but not powerful enough for a V6 as many other 4 cylender engines deliver equal or even more power than this 2.5 litre v6. A good example is acura tsx or even civic SI.
O T I own an is250 and give both of these cars a run for their money. As well as the Jetta tsi, and 2.5. I keep up with the GTI’s and sometimes the Golf R’s. That’s what I wanted this car for. You have to know how to drive this car in order to make it quick.
@@fishgeralding9224 I gave examples in my older replies. Honda Civic Si 2.0 naturally aspirated 4 cylinder and many other 4 cylinders deliver more than 200 hp. A v6 is expected to be used for more power.
Man talk about nitpicking! It feels like u just wanted to make this video so badly but found out Lexus makes a Damm near perfect vehicle so u had to dig deep for content
I understand that although a lot of sequeltial gearboxes have the + towards you, but my point is that its natural for a human being to shift with + towards you. Sure you can get used to it but in my case Its very tough. Many times during driving I shift wrong because its inverted than natural forces that push you back. Thanks for watching and commenting
@@VuckoHD yeah I understand, thanks for replying was actually looking at buying one with a manual transmission, since its so heavy how does it cope with city traffic? Does it have to go high in the revs to keep up?
@@brandon4306 No problem, my automatic feels torquey at low rpm but I'm not sure about manual, if it has different gear ratios. Test drive it but I think you wont be dissapointed, manuals are lighter than automatic aswell
The transmission needs to replace on many IS 250. My IS 250 needed new transmission $5000, water pump $450, alternator $650, electric steering $1200 and headlight $1500. Yes headlights cost $1500 a piece and have their own computer to move the headlights. Also I can not see how fast my car is going or see my tachometer because the needle is a led light and does not work. I live in Arizona where it get hot and if I drive somewhere the car does not start sometimes. The dealer says they can not find the problem. I would think it is a sensor in the brake but they claim they can not fix it because they can not duplicate the problem. JUNK
How many miles? These have the carbon build up issue but these cars should still make it past 200k miles easy before those repairs? And a water pump and alternator is cheap if you DIY. Same with headlights you can pick up oem headlights for around $100-150 used. Or aftermarket to look like 2012-2013 for $350(disables AFS)
@Dot Com lol I don't even see all this happening unless he's past 200k miles. And if all this really did happen he paid the stealership to do all the work
Buddy, whats the odo on your IS?? You got scammed coz u do not know ur machine and ur dealership is aware of your ignorance. We all make mistakes but yours were way too costly.
Doug Doug they sold you a lemon my guy 😂😂 I just bought my 2009 is 250 in September of 2018 fully loaded 160k miles. It runs just fine only real problems I had with it was a new cylinder chord which was $80 and new tires which only cost me $250. I do have to get a headlight fixed though it keeps knocking out when I’m driving or whenever the car is running like after 8-15 minutes of the lights being on.
@@VuckoHD the things you don't like if I'm being honest are really silly and nonsensical. The gears go in high gears to be fuel efficient, provide comfortable and quiet ride. The aircon buttons 😑🤦🏿♂️. The shifting into low gears when you floor it😑🤦🏿♂️. Everybody knows when you want to floor a car and it's in a high gear you downshift to get maximum power faster. If you don't want the car to downshift for you then don't floor it all the way. Keep the throttle at 90% it won't downshift and it'll still give you sufficient power. Then the exhaust? C'mon everybody knows if you buy luxury sport sedans they come quiet to provide smooth, quiet rides but if you want it to be loud you make it loud, and if you want a loud one stock you get the ISF or the M3, or the C63 but your IS350, 335I and C350 do not come loud stock. I guess the car is so good that all the things you dislike about it are just really silly
I know how to drive manual but in my country all used IS250 are automatics, manuals are very rare plus I still like this automatic because i drive mostly in city
That was his third point. And like he said manual versions are not always available in every country. We all love manuals but no need to be a wise ass about it.

what about MELTING DASHBOARD? can you talk about ur experience with sticky dashboard due to humidity or hot climate ?

Pulling down to shift up? That would be a really bad idea. Love the colour.
This is actually how it's entirely supposed to be ... It always triggers me to see car companies make + up and - down..
It’s shifting to second gear cause you aren’t going fast enough so the gear doesn’t stay in 3rd, if you were going faster it wouldn’t do that I think

How tall are you? In centimeters.
182cm
Ay Hello..
Does anyone’s car smells like gas if you drive too fast?
you need to replace the vents in the trunk, exhaust is getting in the cabin.
replacing the vents will also prevent your amp from getting damp and dying.

@@je2fe2 Thank you!
Mine does it sometimes. What is the actual problem?
Change the mirror then
It's not the mirror that is vibrating that much, the subwoofer is placed directly under the rear glass, behind the shelf. So the whole glass is vibrating like a membrane.
Did you sell your corolla ts ??
He still has it
Didn't sell it, still use it for short distances in town or snow because FWD is better in snow
How are you going to complain about the exhaust?? Straight pipe it if its a problem ffs..
I'm not saying every IS250 should be loud, but my particular IS250 has sport package. Lexus put sportier suspension and wider wheel/tires but I wish they also made the exhaust sound sportier aswell but I understand your point
IS 250 is under powered.
@John Doe there is a big difference between 250 and 350. Is 250 power is good enough for city driving but not powerful enough for a V6 as many other 4 cylender engines deliver equal or even more power than this 2.5 litre v6. A good example is acura tsx or even civic SI.
That's why the engine will run forever
O T I own an is250 and give both of these cars a run for their money. As well as the Jetta tsi, and 2.5. I keep up with the GTI’s and sometimes the Golf R’s. That’s what I wanted this car for. You have to know how to drive this car in order to make it quick.
Let's see, about 153 cubic inches (2.5 litre) naturally aspirated, making 204 h.p. How is that under powered?
@@fishgeralding9224 I gave examples in my older replies. Honda Civic Si 2.0 naturally aspirated 4 cylinder and many other 4 cylinders deliver more than 200 hp. A v6 is expected to be used for more power.

Man talk about nitpicking! It feels like u just wanted to make this video so badly but found out Lexus makes a Damm near perfect vehicle so u had to dig deep for content
260 on speedometer? Is 250. Mine 160..2009
.
Your 160 is in miles, mine is 260km/h
7:20 theyre not the wrong way around, its imitating the feeling of a sequential gearbox, which has the + forwards.
I understand that although a lot of sequeltial gearboxes have the + towards you, but my point is that its natural for a human being to shift with + towards you. Sure you can get used to it but in my case Its very tough. Many times during driving I shift wrong because its inverted than natural forces that push you back. Thanks for watching and commenting
@@VuckoHD yeah I understand, thanks for replying was actually looking at buying one with a manual transmission, since its so heavy how does it cope with city traffic? Does it have to go high in the revs to keep up?
@@brandon4306 No problem, my automatic feels torquey at low rpm but I'm not sure about manual, if it has different gear ratios. Test drive it but I think you wont be dissapointed, manuals are lighter than automatic aswell
@@VuckoHD took it for a ride and bought it! A black manual 06, great cars I love em already got the Mark Levinson audio too (its amazing)
@@brandon4306 Great hope it serves you well and put a big smile on your face! Must be so fun with manual transmission :)
The transmission needs to replace on many IS 250. My IS 250 needed new transmission $5000, water pump $450, alternator $650, electric steering $1200 and headlight $1500. Yes headlights cost $1500 a piece and have their own computer to move the headlights. Also I can not see how fast my car is going or see my tachometer because the needle is a led light and does not work. I live in Arizona where it get hot and if I drive somewhere the car does not start sometimes. The dealer says they can not find the problem. I would think it is a sensor in the brake but they claim they can not fix it because they can not duplicate the problem. JUNK
How many miles? These have the carbon build up issue but these cars should still make it past 200k miles easy before those repairs? And a water pump and alternator is cheap if you DIY. Same with headlights you can pick up oem headlights for around $100-150 used. Or aftermarket to look like 2012-2013 for $350(disables AFS)
@Dot Com lol I don't even see all this happening unless he's past 200k miles. And if all this really did happen he paid the stealership to do all the work
Buddy, whats the odo on your IS??
You got scammed coz u do not know ur machine and ur dealership is aware of your ignorance.
We all make mistakes but yours were way too costly.
Doug Doug they sold you a lemon my guy 😂😂 I just bought my 2009 is 250 in September of 2018 fully loaded 160k miles. It runs just fine only real problems I had with it was a new cylinder chord which was $80 and new tires which only cost me $250. I do have to get a headlight fixed though it keeps knocking out when I’m driving or whenever the car is running like after 8-15 minutes of the lights being on.
250 tires? I spent 900 at Walmart
That guy are from Serbia from Belgrade
steering whee4l is on the wrong side no wonder you dont like it most confusing
The Lexus was not designed for morons who want loud exhausts. The thing I love about mine? It’s beautifully quiet!
I understand that, but my IS250 has sport package and so it would be nice for us who like to hear more sweet engine sounds :)
@@VuckoHD the things you don't like if I'm being honest are really silly and nonsensical. The gears go in high gears to be fuel efficient, provide comfortable and quiet ride. The aircon buttons 😑🤦🏿♂️. The shifting into low gears when you floor it😑🤦🏿♂️. Everybody knows when you want to floor a car and it's in a high gear you downshift to get maximum power faster. If you don't want the car to downshift for you then don't floor it all the way. Keep the throttle at 90% it won't downshift and it'll still give you sufficient power. Then the exhaust? C'mon everybody knows if you buy luxury sport sedans they come quiet to provide smooth, quiet rides but if you want it to be loud you make it loud, and if you want a loud one stock you get the ISF or the M3, or the C63 but your IS350, 335I and C350 do not come loud stock. I guess the car is so good that all the things you dislike about it are just really silly
The quiet exhaust is a waste to the Yamaha V6
fix the scratches
Is it just me or there's a fuckin bug in your car? @4:19
*buy a 350* problem solved
no 350 in EU. Only usa and a few other asian countries got it.
VUCKO NAPRAVI I NEKI VIDEO GDE CES DA PRICAS SRPSKI
why are you so turkish but you're not
Should’ve just gotten a 350 smh
Not available in Europe
Solution for your second point: Buy a manual. Don't know how to drive? Learn :D
I know how to drive manual but in my country all used IS250 are automatics, manuals are very rare plus I still like this automatic because i drive mostly in city
That was his third point. And like he said manual versions are not always available in every country. We all love manuals but no need to be a wise ass about it.
Plus, the manual in IS has really bad reputation. And the automatic is more comfy :)
Manuals cause accidents and they use too much of your energy in the city
At least this car is better than any Russian car.

Don’t drive Lexus🤔
Unlike you, he has a brain.
Blah , blah , blah , then why did you buy this car , so don't complain
I guess you missed the part of the video where I said the complaints are so small and that I still love the car...
The video is primarily for people looking to buy this car, they might look at them as big problems.
Don't also conclude he bought it.
