I bought my 2006 IS250 Executive 1 months back, never been this fond of a car before, totally in love with it... sexually.. always peeking out the window, looking at it. It has the same features as this IS350, just not cooled seats and that weird sunshield in the back.
I have a 2010 IS AWD luxury package and it has every feature but the headlight washer. Even has the tilting mirrors for parking against a curve. Love my car.
Dude it's so crazy to see how many features this car has that my 2015 Infiniti Q50 Premium doesn't! One more year and I'm trading it in for a Lexus IS.
I’m actually almost done with my 2015 Q50 premium also, one more month and i’m done. I’m looking to get this car but I am going to miss the 328 HP, two digital touch screens and GPS display.
I saw a video recently that really blew my mind about this car. I have an 06 IS350 and realized there’s vents that cool your brakes as your driving. So wind flows through the vents and onto the brakes to cool them off.
Hey, nice video. A few additional points: There is also another cupholder inside the front armrest. The IS was the first car in its segment to provide heated and ventilated (they're not really cooled) seats. Before that, you had to go two segments above to see that (S class, LS, etc.). ECT stands for electronically controlled transmission, not throttle. The rear view camera does have the lines on the screen when you reverse, at least on my 08 (in the UK). One of my favourite voice commands is to automatically set the temperature. For example, "22 degrees", and that's it. The directional and self leveling Xenon light were also pretty cool back then. In Europe it was also sold with a horrible diesel engine that gave a very un-Lexus like driving experience.
I had an 07 is250 but got a 08 350 cause it was obviously the better choice. I’ve had the car for a little less than a year and am so amazed at how much more fun it is to drive. It also came with f sport everything ( suspension, rims exhaust , intake) with 60,000 miles and man these cars are pretty solid. If you want a luxury car with pretty standard features that compares to modern cars in the same price range and is fast enough to have some fun this is the 1! And did I mention they still look awesome 10 years later?
I love all the modifications that you have put on this car! I have a 2007 is250 and I am hopefully going to be upgrading to the is350 soon. I was wondering where you got your wrap for the center console of the inside? Love these vids! Keep up the good work!
Dude... I love my 07 IS350. Ordered it new from Japan. The only thing I would like is the Bluetooth adapter built in for music. Other than that, it has everything that one needs. On the voice commands, you can ask for gas stations , coffee, or fast food and those icons will show up of their locations.
ECT is "Electronically Controlled Transmission". This is super common on JDM cars, Nissan and Toyota autos for example since the late 80s. It basically just increases the shift threshold of the transmission, and decreases the kick down threshold. I would be interested to find out if it actually affects the throttle in any way.
Are you sure the T is for Transmission? I read somewhere it is "throttle" - since PWR makes the gas pedal more responsive and SNOW makes it less responsive.
Unless they changed the acronym, but it definitely used to stand for Transmission (at least for Toyota and Nissan) dating back to before the cars had 'drive by wire' throttles. Back then 'snow' would also sometimes be written as 'hold' which would hold a higher gear and not kickdown a gear as easily, basically just a toggle to switch the shift 'program' of the transmission itself.
Picked up a 2011 IS250 AWD a few months ago with 100k miles on the ODO. Great car with decent performance for a small v6 - smooth transmission and a solid engine. Mine is the sport package so it doesn't have NAV or memory settings - does come with leather seats/moonroof/dual climate and power everything. Shame it doesn't have the little extras though.. even my 2012 TSX had memory settings and a more updated dash/console area for infotainment.. overall a reliable beauty of a car.
Thinking about picking one up. Trying to stay under $10k with less than 110k. I don't really care if it's 250 or 350. Power is not the concern. and since these are timing chained, maintenance should be easy with oil and tires. Edit: don't buy the 250 with the carbon build up, especially with high mileage. If the previous didn't get the recall done for the 06-11 models within the time window, just go straight for the 350.
timing cover leaks are inevitable and costly I work at a lexus dealership as a tech the IS is like the civic of lexus, which is a bad thing based of what customers tend to do to them and in the condition that they bring them.(my personal opinion) I would recommend to anyone get a GS350 instead or if you are really insistent then save your money and buy an ISF, other wise waste of money on buying a is250 or is350
@@jeffreybastian1331 doesn't the gs350 and is350 have the same engine? Wouldn't it suffer from the same timing cover leak? I'm in the market, please advise...thanks
11:11 Ministries yes they do infact have the same engine but the GS isn’t owned by younger people that rice them out usually and tend to be less abused than the IS. GS350 and GS450h are nice. The brakes do wear out quick tho on the front that is.
Hey man, do you think $9000 is too much for one of these with 145,000 miles on it. One popped up in my city and it’s in very good condition inside and out. But the mileage is kinda off putting.
@@javiernoriega3122don’t know what u ended up doing but great car and very reliable as long as it was well maintained should be no problem in lasting u forever, probably looks great w the mods too

The transmission and rev limiter paired with the 3.5 is the main reason i want to get this as a daily aside my f30 335. Such a dope car, definitely want the premium or luxury package.. whichever has the sunshade and mark levinson
Lol, I can say I am more and more leaning to buying one in 2 yrs or so. Newer model, maybe a 15 or 16 but I want something fun and luxurious all in one as well as the great reliability I am finding with Lexus / Toyota brand. The cooling seats are a def deal maker for me being in South Florida. Man would that make my day. Also it was great finding this channel, shown on Scotty's channel.
That's awesome, I just learnt two things and found another; (08 JDM IS350) 1) Holding down the TRC button long enough does actually fully disable both traction control and VSC. I had previously tried this and noticed it just turned off TRC and that it came on again as soon as I changed gear. So I had been using the 3 on/off of the park brake, then 3 on/off of the foot brake method, which does disable TRC but not VSC. Very happy with learning this, just went for a test skid to confirm I do have an LSD in the rear like I'm supposed to, even if it's only Torsen and not a 'proper mechanical ' type. 2) Holding down the unlock button on the key does make the windows roll down. Does yours also roll the windows up if you hold down the lock button? Mine does but it has this annoying feature where auto up on the drivers window makes it open again about an inch after it rolls all the way up.
That's awesome! Yup, if you press the traction button, the traction control will be disabled for up to 20-30 mph...but holding it down for 10 seconds also turns off VSC! I love the windows down feature, but I haven't gotten mine to go back up...maybe it is a JDM feature.
Joseph Patton-Robson you need to do the pedel dance if not it will safe your or fuck you over depending on the situation trust me on this if you going to go drifting or doing anything basically do the peddle dance 3 brake 3 emergency 2 brake
You can also turn of the traction control/stability control and have it stay of til you turn the car off. Its call the pedal dance. Park brake on, foot on brake and start, dont release foot off brake, then release and re apply park brake twice, release and reapply brake twice. Do this sequence twice and the traction control light will stay on. You will need to turn the car on to reactivate it.
ETC is Electronic Transmission Control, my 1996 LS400 has it (Normal / Power) and has a metal cable throttle not throttle by electronic wire signal just so y'all know
I have a 2011 Lexus IS that doesn’t have power fold mirror. I wonder if I can just swap them with power fold mirrors or if there is more involved with that...
Hey man I have an 06 Lexus is350 and I’m trying to figure out what to do with my f sport exhaust should I just cut of the muffles and call it a day or chop of the resonators
Marty you have all these features because yours is Sports Luxury. Specially rear power shade and adaptive cruise control doesnt come with any other variant.
I am in the market to pick up a use Lexus IS350 from 2006-2013 year and a lots of them have like 130k to 150k plus miles on them. How reliable is this Lexus Engine or the Lexus IS350.

I have a few questions. Does the 2006 model is350 steering wheel move up when you start it? Also.. Do the side mirrors fold in and out on the 2006? I cant seem to find any info on TH-cam yet about it. Thanks in advance
I had a manual 2001 Honda Prelude, tricked out. That car got me through my 20s. Once I hit 30, I wanted something more chill, but still perforamnce. I got an IS300. That car was smooth. Unfortunately, I totaled that car. My wife said I was toast but I actually ended up getting 15k for my IS300 from insurance. I found a guy that was buying a LS460 and needed to get rid of his 2007 IS350. This was 2016, and he wanted 13k even because he had just bought all new tires and a timing chain as a maintenance step. I offered him 11k cash on his living room table. He accepted and let me get his 2007 IS350 for 11k cash. Ive been driving it since 2016 (we are in 2024) and I can say Lexus IS350 is way better than a Honda Prelude. I love IS350. The only thing that sucks is it is RWD so it sucks in winter.
It's a pretty forgiving car. Especially with the traction control. In the snow you're more likely to get stuck than to crash from my experience. I owned this car at 19 but I had been driving for years prior to that. It was my first rear drive car but I had experienced rear wheel before. Honestly as long as your careful its completely fine and safe, gotta be careful for blindspots though as I've had whole cars hiding behind the front pillars sometimes. It's scary once you realize how large they are haha. So yeah, dont go crazy with the traction off and you'll be fine.
this car is the crush you had in high school that still to this day looking fine as hell
@DrDoge I’ll buy it I’m looking to buy one actually

Would you recommend a Lexus IS 350 as a daily throughout the year? Living in Toronto! Or would you recommend Lexus IS 250?
They can be great if you don’t lower them and use snow tires! But the AWD 250 is nice too
@@MartyMotoring thanks a lot. Hopefully I can find a used IS350 here soon!
Hello sir ..hope you are doing well..
How much ,a used car like that can cost
Hey Ive also got an IS. I wonder is there any sound when you adjust your lumbar support?
How do u kow if it comes with the luxury package cuz online it jus say Lexus is250
350*
saw you in traffic a couple months ago, just realized it was you as soon as i saw the 3fiddy license plate
That’s great 😂
I had a manual 2001 Honda Prelude, tricked out. That car got me through my 20s. Once I hit 30, I wanted something more chill, but still perforamnce. I got an IS300. That car was smooth. Unfortunately, I totaled that car. My wife said I was toast but I actually ended up getting 15k for my IS300 from insurance. I found a guy that was buying a LS460 and needed to get rid of his 2007 IS350. This was 2016, and he wanted 13k even because he had just bought all new tires and a timing chain as a maintenance step. I offered him 11k cash on his living room table. He accepted and let me get his 2007 IS350 for 11k cash. Ive been driving it since 2016 (we are in 2024) and I can say Lexus IS350 is way better than a Honda Prelude. I love IS350. The only thing that sucks is it is RWD so it sucks in winter.
Would this make a good first car for a 19 year old ?
It's a pretty forgiving car. Especially with the traction control. In the snow you're more likely to get stuck than to crash from my experience. I owned this car at 19 but I had been driving for years prior to that. It was my first rear drive car but I had experienced rear wheel before. Honestly as long as your careful its completely fine and safe, gotta be careful for blindspots though as I've had whole cars hiding behind the front pillars sometimes. It's scary once you realize how large they are haha. So yeah, dont go crazy with the traction off and you'll be fine.
I was planning on getting a IS for my first car too.
OP_JESUS I’m 17 and I’ve had it as my first car for about a year now it’s honestly amazing
I think so if you don’t deal with snow or mind paying for 91-93 octane gas. It’s a lot of power for a first car!
Do you plan on buying a new one?
In my Lexus with Nav etc... when I place a audio CD .... you see it play the list...but no sound?? Radio FM all works with sound
Push/click the moonroof bottom and it will fully unlock automatically.
That’s a good one!
@@MartyMotoring forgot to add, there is an extra cup holder inside the armrest lol
I’m looking at a 2011 Lexus is350 do you think it is a good first car?
Is $4,500 for one with 170,000 miles a good deal?
So my 2006 is350 when I hold the traction control button is still doesn’t completely disabale the traction control thoughts?
Yes - that only works on 2007 and up. 2006, you have to do the “pedal dance”
