My nephew still in HS his Mom just bought for him 2010, IS 250, 150K miles and color all black very beautiful car. I tested drove oh man this car so smooth, handles very well and very quiet ride. The sounds engine run so quiet like brand new car I’m so shocked the car was 150K miles already wow. Lexus is excellent vehicle in terms reliable.
@@Lee-hg8vt Mostly because the IS 350 is faster and a lot less prone to sludge build up. You can’t go wrong with either one (250 or 350), but the IS 350 was more of what I was looking for.
You can use the paddles if its in regular drive! But after a few seconds it will go back to Auto. So if youre needing to downshift to overtake or whatever you can in normal drive mode, but if youre not in manual mode it'll go back to auto mode automatically
Watching this video to prepare myself mentally for a massive change in comfort on my car. Am about to change my 15 years old original struts to new orm struts am hella excited. Also was gonna get coilovers but I decided not to, since I value comfort and I don’t see myself lowering the car. (:
I have 106K on my 2010.. & about too do a 10 hour trip in it this weekend… I haven’t changed out anything mechanically yet on it.. since I owned the car for 6 years & for some reason that’s what’s worrying me lol
Hey!!! I am 17 and I am thinking of buying a Lexus Is250 and I wanted to ask how is the comfort in the car ? Like the leg room and the headroom because I am 6'5 and this is one of my concerns. It will be really helpful. thank you.
I think you would fit if the seat is all the way back, but I wouldn't plan to have someone sit behind you 😂 the thing I would do is go take one for a test drive and see how you like it! Because maybe the way you like your seating position or whatever you have to see for yourself! Hope that helps! 😊
Bro me and you are exactly alike and it's creepy. I'm 17 years old, I got a 2008 Lexus Awd Is250 has my first car. I'm also 6'5", I have the seat all the way back and I think it's a good fit. No one who is a normal size human will have enough leg room sitting behind me though. So if you're carrying 2 or more passengers a ride often, it might be wise to get a different car. It is a little bit of a hassle just to get in because the roof is a little bit lower then a normal sedan. But only by a inch or two compared to my mom's 2015 honda accord. Once you're in the seat and have it set up it's extremely comfortable. The car handles quite well and the suspension is amazing. It handles bumps better than my mom's car. I would say test drive one if you find one. Make sure the interior panels aren't sticky too because that was a small problem with them. If it's not too sticky but just a bit you could use it to get a better price on one! Always negotiate, I hope this helps. Becaus I was worried too because I watched a few reviews and people were saying if you're over 6 foot it's too small.
@@AustinsCoins thank you so much bro !!! This really helped. Ya I guess I will just use it as a 3 seater 😂😂 but rn I’m just practicing for my official license so I’m still searching for a car. If there are any other cars with like similar features but with more space please lemme know because I want something reliable, fun to drive, and I can maybe mod it a little. So if anything else comes in mind please lemme know. Thank you so much again ❤️❤️
@@fc872e1 so true! I can really tell when I drive my 2007 Corolla like a go cart .And then get in my 2011 Is 250. It's a cruiser for sure. Also feel safer driving I 5 into Seattle.
It’s pretty fun for casual drivers. If you’re a speed menace, it’s not really for you, but for most normal drivers, I think they’ll really like this car.
One of the few cars that will be able to remake this video a decade from now. Legendary reliability and longevity
Very true! These cars are such amazing cars, and in my opinion one of THE best styled sedans to come out of Japan!

When I'm not driving my beloved IS250, I watch this video and pretend I'm driving.
Nice video bruv.imma buy this car in the future.
Thank you so much! They are great cars!!
Great vid 👍 gotta get one of these one day…..
They are amazing cars! You won't regret it!
I recommend you to start making million on cryto like I do,,,.... Make a note to me directly on how to start👆
No speed limits were -broken- harmed in the making of this video 😁
Exactly! The mountains Mexico sure are beautiful 😍😏
That’s my car too! 2011 Star fire pearl.
In my opinion one of the most beautiful white paint colors on a car!
@@perspectivedrives4920 Agreed!
Really glad I went with the IS 350
How come mate?

Too bad the 350 wasnt sold in europe, we have to get either the 250 or the F
No talking? Boring video
Sorry you were disappointed with the video!
Nice ride
I agree! These cars are great!
cant wait to get a rwd model next year gonna be a huge upgrade from my 1999 mazda 323 1.3, cant wait!
Can you use the paddles in regular Drive? looking at one possibly.
No
You can use the paddles if its in regular drive! But after a few seconds it will go back to Auto. So if youre needing to downshift to overtake or whatever you can in normal drive mode, but if youre not in manual mode it'll go back to auto mode automatically
@@perspectivedrives4920 yeah, but its bad for the transmission, that's why I said NO to it.
I hit those shifters by accident one day & it felt like my transmission cut a flip .. jerked badly .. 😊..

BC Racing coilovers + swift springs are what folks use when they get rid of air suspension in the 600h and ls460. Amazing comfort
Best car ever......LEXUS👍👍
What is purpose???? That you can drive with 2 hand on the wheel???
Very nice car.
lovely
Thank you!
You need to clean those head lights bro! 😂
Tell me about it 😂
Does it have Bluetooth radio?
Yes it does! I think all of the 08-2013 IS cars with the center screen have bluetooth 👍
How many miles does your car have..?
This car has about 150,000 miles!
@@perspectivedrives4920 wow, it sounds so good for 150,000 miles!
@@TASwims Thank you these things run forever!

very good car for me despite my age 😃👌
I found one but they want 12k with 155k miles. If I can get them down to 10k I might buy it.
Do it! They're great cars!
Getting an is250 2010
You'll love it, its a great car!

Go sit it in one and decide. I own one and I’m 6ft and I’m not sure if you’d fit comfortably in terms of head room since there’s a sunroof

@@perspectivedrives4920 ya I should take one for a spin 😂😭 I really like this car but I’m hoping I will be able to fit in one.

Is the transmission cvt ?
No. 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmissions.
Is this model got ECO mode ?
it doesn't! That came on the IS models 2015 and up!
@@perspectivedrives4920 maybe on the 350 because my 2013 250 doesn’t have eco mode
Create your own eco mode by using paddles to upshift early and spam + paddle on highway to stay in highest gear and keep rpms low 😂🤷🏾
Kenyan wrist band
I see the Kenyan band!!! 😃
Absolutely! Where in Kenya are you from?
@@perspectivedrives4920 my parents are from Eldoret! City of runners!
@@jaydensile That is awesome! The Kenyan people are so great!
Looks like Ogden Utah 🤔
Possibly 😉
I have a lexus IS250
How do you like it? What year is yours?
very flexible in the air?
I don't know what you mean
Are u kenyan
I'm not! But I lived in Kenya for a few years!
Kenyan Band
Correct!
is she your girlfriend?
Wife
Too small, coffin on wheels...
Haha the IS's are small but definitely fun!
Not true. Unlike most Japanese cars, it’s heavy and built like a tank
@@fc872e1 so true! I can really tell when I drive my 2007 Corolla like a go cart .And then get in my 2011 Is 250. It's a cruiser for sure. Also feel safer driving I 5 into Seattle.

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the video! Hopefully you can find another one on my channel you like! 😊
Is 250 is a nize car u feel comfortable when driving it. Um in love with it🇧🇼
