I like the buttons i hate when I have to go through 3 menus to turn on the ac instead of pressing a button not to mention the cheap screens that make it a paint to get to anything
@@general_carz the driving assists (ex: lane keeping) are so annoying tho! I've driven an is350 from the same gen a pretty decent amount and the car is just a bother
Who cares what other people think? Are they paying for it? You're the one that's buying it, so get whatever car you like the most. Never let someone else dictate how you live your own life.
Say what you want about that interior, I love it, it looks well-built, classy and elegant. Other cars in the competition like the BMW M3 CS, which I love, might have an edge over the Lexus IS 500 in terms of tech, hp, and torque, the Lexus IS 500 on the other hand takes the crown in terms of reliability, engine sound, and RWD. Good thing to see Lexus making such awesome machines
Comping from mopar during the same interior since 2015 and same body line since 2011 I do love the look of the interior I prefer bottoms over screen anytime I owned a 04 expedition when I was young loved it and always felt like I was missing out on nothing after still owning it for years w 250k miles gif from my parents I still drive it and still love how it feels so this interior looks so good sometimes going the way every one else is isn’t the best option bc there some ppl that still like a older look and less items
The IS500 and the RCF are the two best Lexus models right now imo , followed closely by the IS350 Fsport and the IS300 awd that has the same 2GRFKS 3.5 V6 engine as the IS350 Fsport.
Everything about this car makes it the PERFECT car either used after 5+ years or new if you're gonna own it for a minimum of 5 years with lexus reliability and it's slightly dated interior for the price
Dont pay attention to the phisical buttons, a few years ago everybody wanted phisical, now that most buttons are not, ecerybody is asking for some 🤷🏽♂️ you do you and dont mind about what plp says or thinks and i agree, thats a great sedan
the buttons aren’t difficult to figure out and it’s a gorgeous looking car i love my fsport 350……i would have loved the is 500 but the insurance will kick ones ass
They are talking about the interior when they say that. Which in truth is dated and doesn’t change. I daily a 2016 200t and it *basically is the exact same* . Outside of the engine and speed, I’d feel like I’m still driving my car lol. Not necessarily a bad thing but it would be to get some up to date features
LOL! This was hilarious. :-) The 500 is an old muscle car inside and out, but with all the modern safety tech. Plus it's naturally aspirated, there's nothing more to want! :-D
The Beauty of this is, YOU GET WHAT U WANT and don't give a big F what other people said, because at the end of the day is How U FEEL not how other people what U to feel😊😊😊😊
@@duzzy94 I'm scared to install the lowering springs cause I don't want the front end to get scratched. I do like doing burnouts, but not anymore when i found out the 2 rear tires cost almost $900. Coughed up $880 for the 2 rears.
It’s the interior that holds me back from getting one, I love the V8 but the fact the interior is what I’m gonna be looking at all the time gets me. I wish it had wireless charging and wireless car play
i partially agree, it should have those things and it is a little awkward to look at but it is sooo much better than all the screens that are in bmws now. or the giant single one that are in subarus.
You can literally get all of that professionally installed at the cost of a few $1000 MAX... Add that bill to the cost of the car and it's still cheaper and more reliable than comparable vehicles.
the only thing i think is dated about the Lexus interior os the shifter, otherwise seems pretty modern to me, if u want an ipad in ur car buy a Tesla lol
Beautiful car on the outside, but the tablet for a dashboard makes me want to vomit. I expect a beautifully lit wrap around dashboard in a vehicle like this. Total fail and I would pass. 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
@DigidiBoom you misunderstand, I like the big screens. I would like the screens to be integrated INTO the dashboard and not look like tablets glued to the dashboard. With today's flexible and foldable screens, they should be able to design more beautiful wraparound dashboards.
Not even an Lc500 or Rcf? Your sights are set low my friend. Edit: and you’re complaining about analog buttons?😂 people WANT those over cheap screens that have 4 menus to click through just for air con. What do you know?
physical buttons all day every day
Yep!
If I want to play video games, I'll sit in front of my computer.
@@SgtDusterfr😂
Yup. Age so much better than screens
Hell yeah! I take my phone as an example. I hate touch screen typing, but slide out keyboard back in the day. Smooth
@@pete23soccer yeah specially since automotive screens are all shit and laggy

Nah I love this interior a lot more than most modern interiors
@@general_carz the driving assists (ex: lane keeping) are so annoying tho! I've driven an is350 from the same gen a pretty decent amount and the car is just a bother
You can turn it off lol I did on mine
@@FatMfFrogthen disable them…..duh
@@3on4off you don't think I tried?
I got the baby v6 f sport fully loaded it’s still a fun reliable sports car!
I have the 2021 IS300 awd with the same 3.5 V6 2GRFKS engine. Great cars.
Eye have a 06 is250 AWD no lie eye love it but can't wait to upgrade in February
@@DiMotherShip broooo you’ll be happy af. I look forward to driving it every day. Congrats though huge accomplishment

Exactly, real estate
The physical buttons make it even better
Bro called physical buttons outdated
Beautiful. What i don't like? filling up that tank.
Work from home
@@Blackpunch6 :) Still going out for tea and strumpets.
YOOO! I went to this exact car show, I saw all the cars there and yes the IS500 is dope
I love the physical buttons.
The dynamic gauge cluster and the engine are the only 2 selling points I need 🤤
It’s exterior is unmatchable! Looks better in person too!
Love my 23. It’s been a fun car and great on fuel if you’re nice to it.
only brand that still puts in a cd player lol I like it
Great color!
Just sold my 22 BRZ. Cant wait to be buying this in the spring
Personally i feel the interior more practical. It takes lot less energy as compared to touch screens operated as in mustangs and all.
The engine is all that maters? ROFL, physical buttons outdated!? Are you nuts! I love them!
It will be a FUN two hundred thousand plus miles roaring V8.

The best!!! Like the old tech
Love this car man. Lexus really nailing the styling these past few generations.
The GS F is my favorite. I have GS 430 now, and I love it. Had it for a while now. Almost time to upgrade
GS F is a cool car..
But difficult to find a clean low mile example for a fair price
Masha Allah.
You don’t buy a Lexus for speed you buy one for luxury and comfort 😊and by how beautiful it looks !!!
On top of that you have a v8 and can spin wheels

Love that IS350 AWD and LC 500 as well but the LC is pricey...IS500 is a better car for the money
@kurtbeck5809 Those LC 500 coupes are really nice too.
Physical buttons > giant iPad that controls everything.
I like the inside and the outside and couldn’t argue on that V8, it’s a win all the way.
I agree the Lexus is a super reliable and great brand my favorite brand so fsr
Having an old interior is kind of a charm imo. New ones have too much screen it just gets annoying.
I daily a 2016 200t.
*anyone who daily’s a 200t-350 would love their exact same car with a V8 in it* 😂.
I mf love the 500
I love physical buttons and an old school shifter… what you talking about willis
The more old school the better
This beautiful machinery is not that expensive too 🔥
How tf is it not expensive. It's about 65k out the lot.
@@rickjones5399 compared to other luxury sport sedans, 65k is ez
Integra type s ❤
The 1995 shifter looks fun
Everything about this car makes it the PERFECT car either used after 5+ years or new if you're gonna own it for a minimum of 5 years with lexus reliability and it's slightly dated interior for the price
Dont pay attention to the phisical buttons, a few years ago everybody wanted phisical, now that most buttons are not, ecerybody is asking for some 🤷🏽♂️ you do you and dont mind about what plp says or thinks and i agree, thats a great sedan
I do agree these cars look amazing, very agressive front end.. interior is alright amd the v8 is great idk how it handles power tho
That pointer finger working OT.
Shifter anyday over a dial or touchpad
I like that it has a cd player on like other cars that don’t hav it. I buy my music on cds so I need a car that hav the feature
Ultimate dream sedan with a 10-year-old CD player
AS A GS F OWNER..........LEXUS MESSED UP CALLING IT AN F SPORT
the buttons aren’t difficult to figure out and it’s a gorgeous looking car i love my fsport 350……i would have loved the is 500 but the insurance will kick ones ass
I agree❤
I really don’t get how ppl say it’s outdated looks updated to me like what else u want
They are talking about the interior when they say that. Which in truth is dated and doesn’t change. I daily a 2016 200t and it *basically is the exact same* .
Outside of the engine and speed, I’d feel like I’m still driving my car lol. Not necessarily a bad thing but it would be to get some up to date features
People want ugly digital screens that go across the whole cockpit around the corner and up their ass. I love touching buttons and I probably got adhd
I got an ls 460 and that's a 4.6 liter v8 and yep
LOL! This was hilarious. :-) The 500 is an old muscle car inside and out, but with all the modern safety tech. Plus it's naturally aspirated, there's nothing more to want! :-D
This interior is way better than 90% of newer cars. The only modern interior i like is the 992 911 and the Pagani Huayra
Amen! I love these cars. Idc what anyone else says about them.
My dude strokes that steering wheel like it's a womans backside every time. 😂
What’s up with that shifter is that how they come with just that little tiny stick thing?
The Beauty of this is, YOU GET WHAT U WANT and don't give a big F what other people said, because at the end of the day is How U FEEL not how other people what U to feel😊😊😊😊
Physical buttons are so much better. Screw all these companies putting everything in a tablet taped to the dash.
agreed 100%
needs bigger screen imo, but hopefully one day ill cop
This car needs its own OF Page! Lol
I wouldnt say it's a modern day ISF but it's pretty damn close
“You can Spin Out You Can Do Burn-Outs” I got news for you pal. You could do spin out and burnouts in All sport sedans mostly🤷♂️
I love mine I have a 2023 in the same color
I don't care about the interrior being outdated as long as it's comfortable, high quality and the car sounds good and look pretty
M340 for the win
Im going for the 2025 version I just hope it will still be in my budget to get and it does not go up in price by much
I like mine, white with red interior. I treat it like a gem
I copped same one white with red and baby the fk out of it, hate putting kms lol

V8! he's not wrong.
need a full review for this car
There are many full reviews out there.
Devastating these never made it to the UK!
Agree
Agreed
What happened to the gear stick head?
Auto Show takes it during display
my issue with this car is, its just a 350 with a V8, and its the same speed as the ISF which came out in 2006.....
Once its paid off add a cam, and full exhaust it will sound glorious. My issue with this beautiful car is the automatic transmission.
I actually really like the interior. I hate the way modern cars are going with big tablet looking screens just thrown in. Looks stupid.
M340i betta
Wait a minute, physical button is now considered outdated !?
A lot of people consider it outdated. I think it's fine
What the hell happened to the shifter knob it’s missing 🤔 uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 😱
No seriously 😒 though all jokes aside what 😮 the hell happened to it though 🤔 ?
?
Is it automatically

oh yeah

Is the shifter really like that? That’s garbage ?
They always remove shifter handles at car shows. C’mon man.
@@3on4off not everyone goes to car shows son. That why I’m asking if you gonna get mad at a question then ignore it move on with life pressed ahh
i hate when people say this interior is “outdated”. it really isnt and it feels timeless it feels like a cockpit in a plane.
agreed and so many people talking shit about it-let them talk i enjoy tf out of mine….
Yeah I don't understand the outdated comment
Agreed 💯
Cadillac CT5V Blackwing would like a word
american v8 = illegal activities+more tickets(NO THanks
That car is so fucking sick!
Much rather have the cadi
Much more expensive
@Jesus_Christ_loves_you_alot Doesn't matter, he asked if there was a better sports sedan out there. And it's called the CT5V Blackwing lol
I thought you couldn’t do burn outs in the is500
If I ever have the chance to drive one I'll answer that question for you 🫡

Nevermind the “dated” interior. Let’s talk about that piss poor transmission. Totally wrecks that entire car.
I hate dey dont sell in europe. So that means I cannot buy it cuz im in europe🤣
Love all the physical knobs and stuff but that infotainment system is terribly designed.
I feel sorry for anyone purchasing a 3.40M 🤮
Crazy how dated that interior looks. The screen and GPS maps looks like its from 2008.
Beautiful car on the outside, but the tablet for a dashboard makes me want to vomit. I expect a beautifully lit wrap around dashboard in a vehicle like this. Total fail and I would pass. 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
the ONLY screen needed in the car is for the audio player..

@@general_carz interior wise better too however they suffer the same depreciation as Maserati not to mention parts are pricey and reliability sucks

I think a hellcat is a better sedan than this
Over a caddy nah thats insane lol
The CT5 Blackwing is amazing too especially with a manual... but... Lexus 🤞
Wven the ct4 v would walk that jap v 8 lexus trans are trash 10 years ago maybe today nope
30k difference...
What it's missing
1. AWD
2. Massage seats
3. Remove the trackpad and improve the entertainment software.
4. Fix the dated front console
Done.
