Good car, i'm sure. I chose a G37 due to the space, power, and value. IS was a bit tighter (smaller inside than my 2004 corolla), but it was a bit more refined. Levinson is a must if you're gonna purchase. Else, it's all preference really. i like em both =D
DAAMN its sexy....Love them F parts. The IS sedan if one of my all time fav car. lol "absurdly ballsy" nice. I have loved it ever since the IS300. I believe its one of the best looking car/sedan ever made. If the current IS looks this good...can you imagine the next IS ?!?! Lexus FTW
very interesting comments here, lotta misconceptions about a number of things... how do i know? i own a is350. As for handling, sure a bmw 3seires is way better 'stock for stock', when its on the road and not in the shop. Invest in some suspension modifications and it will handle as well as if not better than a 'stock' 3series. So... little mods and you get bmw handling with lexus reliability. win win ;)
@Anita Ayon I agree that I asked to 50 is pretty weak, they do sound pretty good with exhaust though, and the power is probably fine for most people, but the miles per gallon difference is very negligible
@@CarsofGlasgow Wow I didn’t know that, that is really strange because they have V-8 in a lot of models like Range Rover, I’ll be at with heavy tax bills though
aw that sux, the is250 is a little underpowered for a v6.. how much would it cost to put a manual transmission on this car like dai yoshihara did to his is350 drift car???
Ha ha aha ha....at the end of the vid when he's yapping and looking more at the camera than the road, I kept waiting for him to rear end a stopped truck!
i really want this car, but i want a 6 spd manual transmission in it, does anyone know if next year or in the coming years, if lexus will put a 6spd manual on this?
they wont not on this one. U CAN get the IS250 in 6 speed. But it has like 200 sumtin hp because its 2.5 liter engine instead of 3.5 liter. If you like manual get the IS250 I guess. In the future I dont think they will make the 350 manual but if they make a new generation then yea possibly.
I think the Exhaust upgrade is kinda overkill in the normal IS350 lol. I would just get the normal stock one. It sounds fantastic don't get me wrong, but I feel like it's giving off a feel of "try too hard" I mean it's not a IS-F after all... so take it easy lol.
i have the 2010 is 250. Very small car. Hard to fit anyone in the back and not good for people taller than 6 feet. I'm 6 feet and my knees have no room. They should have made the car a little bigger.
WTF? these ppl have no idea what they are talking about. Its not a cat back exhaust. They added fake sounds clips for the exhaust. Thats not what it sounds like.
So just because it's Lexus, you immediately assuemed it's got the best ride in its class? How pathetic is that. No Lexus has the best ride in its class in the first place. LS had it 10 years ago, but now it's all about Mercedes, Jag, etc. This isn't ES. This is IS. IS and GS compete with BMW 3 and 5 series. They don't drive anywhere near as well as Beemers, but they're just harder. meh
ahahah big baller. I think it would be easier if you shot a video and put it up on youtube with your phone. Its just as easy. I would love to see your 8 cars lol.
Wow, what a terrible review. Off the bat, this guy got several things wrong. First off you can still get Nav and backup camera without ML. The F-sport brakes are not Brembos, they are rebranded Stop-Techs 6/4 under the F-Sport Moniker. The IS-F has Brembos. Further more, he says The F-Sport exhaust is full catback... its not, it's an axle back. Very poor review IMO.
LOL Im sure with all those F sport accessories this car is well over $50 grand. What a waste and its still connected to that stupid automatic... I'd take a G37 or TL SH-AWD over this.
How Can this host spout so much criticism and hate for this really neat car? So much hate and vitriole in his review. Just go drive a chevy dude. We could do without your negative attitude.
Alex Levy - ummm, did you even watch the video? It was mostly either informational or positive? Cooley doesn’t slobber over most cars like most reviewers but that doesn’t mean he’s being negative.
Toyota wrecked the Lexus back when they wrecked the ES300 and oversized the LS while they were at it. Now they have this IS girlie car and a flattened out Prius with a hatchback. The new ES makes the Buick look sporty by comparison. Nobody wants a GS. All tolled, RIP Lexus.
I have a 48k miles IS350... cant even rev passed 5k RPM without engine shake, engine light coming on, VSC light check, stalling about to die engine... been to dealer 5 times in the last 3 weeks... dealer says nothing is wrong with it... will NEVER buy another lexus ever again... I will be posting videos to prove what I am talking about...
Seen/Witnessed these cars do 0-60 under 5 seconds, no joke.
2nd gen IS is far nicer than 3gen design too bad they messed up that grille should of kept the elegance of these models
CNET reviewing cars is like Motor Trend reviewing stereos.
the 09 model has the IS-F exterior looks which makes it heaps more appealing then the older models
I did 5.6 in mine with 2 people all seasons and the spare

Lexus FTW
I think the real question is WHY oh WHY doesn't come in manual, really pissing me of might have to go back to a 3 series
love this car but i gotta say...Acura has one of the best sounds systems imo out there right noa ^_^
Haha. I read this the same way as Kanye interrupted Taylor swift

really nice! fits me kuz I'm only 5 foot 4 inches tall lol
@airtouch01 I know, i am glad u know i meant WITHOUT NAVIGATION or why make it OPTION ANYWAY.
Great video, I am looking at the IS250
@Anita Ayon They don't sell the IS 350 in the UK, probably produces too much pollution I guess

@@nicholasbabeaux2052 yeah the V8 RR's are £555 a year
@L3XIS250 The FSport exhaust is a catback.
@k2sty1 can you import one from another country to yours?
aw that sux, the is250 is a little underpowered for a v6.. how much would it cost to put a manual transmission on this car like dai yoshihara did to his is350 drift car???
my parents have this, but they have the IS 250, and i wish we had the 350 becuz it feels a bit sluggish.
Ha ha aha ha....at the end of the vid when he's yapping and looking more at the camera than the road, I kept waiting for him to rear end a stopped truck!
they say the breaks are brembo branded
but there is no evidence on the brakes that show its brembo.
it just says "F Sport"
do you know what I mean?
i really want this car, but i want a 6 spd manual transmission in it, does anyone know if next year or in the coming years, if lexus will put a 6spd manual on this?
why the FUCK dont they sell the IS350 in australia?
I have an ES 350, wish I had this with AWD instead.
Mike Vita es is more smooth and comfortable I think
they wont not on this one.
U CAN get the IS250 in 6 speed.
But it has like 200 sumtin hp because its 2.5 liter engine instead of 3.5 liter. If you like manual get the IS250 I guess.

What's wrong with the golf course?? I'm 16 and i love golf!
I think the Exhaust upgrade is kinda overkill in the normal IS350 lol. I would just get the normal stock one. It sounds fantastic don't get me wrong, but I feel like it's giving off a feel of "try too hard"
I mean it's not a IS-F after all... so take it easy lol.
why does he push the screen so hard?? i own this vehicle and its drop-dead gorgeous and the screen is very much like touch-sensitive like my iphone...
@thomla7 Yeh i totally agree with you.. I never understood anyone who pays over 30K on Lexus and doesn't pay extra 4K for all the bells and whistles
what exhaust is that
@k2sty1 NEVER MIND!
2011 IS350's are here, FINALLY, FUCK YEH!
nice chesthair mate!
Man I want one in black!
This guy sorta talks out of his ass a little... The older IS-Fs don't even have LSD
i have the 2010 is 250. Very small car. Hard to fit anyone in the back and not good for people taller than 6 feet. I'm 6 feet and my knees have no room. They should have made the car a little bigger.
my Is350 2007 0-60 4.8sec stop saying 5.6 people
fuck you it's quick, but not 4.8 sec quick
fuck you lie
It is 4.7 to 4.9, some with good traction get done around 4.5 sec
Well the 5.6 second was Lexus’ own figure
😅🤣😂 ... 🤫
WTF? these ppl have no idea what they are talking about.
Its not a cat back exhaust.
They added fake sounds clips for the exhaust. Thats not what it sounds like.
@desimunda116
it is?
Thats sad to say the least....
the reason for F-Sport accessories are so that you can mod your car and still have the car / mods covered under warranty and insurance numb nuts
Maybe cars is something cnet shouldn't review.
@k2sty1 y the Fuck don't they sell Pagani Zonda's IN America?!??!?!
thats a Nice little car
This car doesn’t have a cat back it’s an axle back
Is there Bluetooth music streaming in the 2011 Lexus gs350
@L3XIS250 i was thinking the same shit lol...they sound nothing like that at all lmaoo the isf exhaust sounds more like a g35 or g37 exhaust
I just don't get how people buy these expensive cars with NAVIGATION
It has the best ride in its class....its a Lexus. Obviously you've never driven one
and the ride
hahaha 8 cars? Props that you could afford 8 cars but the space is where I'm curious where you put these 8 cars.
i think they do...
are you serious? so its not fun to drive?
Shit looks like it was filmed in the 90s wtf
Good review, BTW
@two2tone Sounds like a loose/broken engine mount
Or in Germany!
So just because it's Lexus, you immediately assuemed it's got the best ride in its class?
How pathetic is that. No Lexus has the best ride in its class in the first place. LS had it 10 years ago, but now it's all about Mercedes, Jag, etc.

I f*cking hate how he pushes the buttons hard.
The is350 are 4wd? Or just the is250?
Both
no the 350 isn't awd till they up date again with next body style, 250 offers awd@@steezenx7399
looks like a hyundai genesis.
@MrChanDawg He means the typical buyer is a rich snobby socialite, hence golf.
