IS350 is my favourite when I shopped between the 300 and the 500! More practical as a daily than the 500 for Canadian winters with the AWD and has all the same features and tech for the most part with the FSport 3 package when compared to the 500! the 500's V8 is amazing though!
I was confused also why this IS 300 has a V6, and looked up the official specs. For 2025, the IS 300 is a 4 cylinder. The IS 300 AWD is a 6 cylinder. Hope that clears it up.
Have the 2014 awd 350 fsport. The new rear looks real nice and the only thing annoying about the ownership is having staggered wheels that you can't rotate. 100k miles and zero problems.
I enjoyed the observations about the RAM trade-in, the stray cat, and the IS-500 during the ride-along. IS300 and IS 350 are nice but IS500 is on a whole different level. Being a Toyota product underneath they are all quite restrained, maybe even too restrained... There's no sports car I'm more confident will drive like a normal car in stop and go traffic than a Lexus product.
Wonder why they never added electric motor assist to help the NA engines with low end torque. Mabye next is a IS-500 twin turbo with electric motor. That would be interesting to see instead of every1 having the m340i's
@@alkim77 All I can say is that I sourced my information from Car and Driver. Hope it helps. good luck with your information search. maybe someone else will comment.
@@alkim77 The is 300 turbo only come RWD with the 8speed the AWD versión is the detune V6 versión And the the Fsport model that comes in series 1 and 2 and 3 this comes with LFA style digital cluster and then is de Fsport and none Fsport that comes with this analog Cluster the sane one in the Review
Is 300 has 2 engine option which are 2.0 turbo i4 cylinder and the de-tuned NA V6. The IS 350 f sport has the tuned NA V6 with more hp and torque and comes with an LFA gauge cluster, sporty engine sound, lip spoiler, glossy defuser, blacked out grill trim, f sport wheels, etc. Some IS 300s do come with the f sport design package to cosmetically look like the 350 f sport like this one in the video.
I was confused also why this IS 300 has a V6, and looked up the official specs. For 2025, the IS 300 is a 4 cylinder. The IS 300 AWD is a 6 cylinder. Hope that clears it up.
Non-turbo engines are ancient and lack low-end power. You constantly have to rev them up, and it's very annoying. I also don't care if it lasts forever, because you can't take money or your car to your grave.
The year 2015 called and wants their car back.
I have the 350 is f sport. Love it. Thinking of upgrading to the is 500 next.
Ben, idc what the haters say but your thumbnails are ever entertaining as are your daily videos!!

The IS300 rear wheel drive (non-AWD) is the 2.0 direct injection only turbo. But confusingly, the AWD version of the IS300 is a V6.

Love the analog tachometer/speedometer!
Great video quality as always Ben! Fun 👍
The IS grew on me, GS is slightly underrated & the ES is still smooth as ever
Good one. Looking at the IS, RC 350 8 speed. 90% of driving is just "driving". It's the last year for the RC decisions....
My wife has the IS350 F Sport. It’s a nice car all around.
I love it. I’ve always loved the is 300. This is probably what I’ll put the wifey in when it’s time.

The 2025 Lexus IS 300 vs The 2025 Toyota Camry XLE
If only they made a XLE Corolla 😭
@von98i Are you Sure Corolla Compared with Lexus IS, Meh 😒😒😒😒
Tell Me Bro:
Lexus IS ❤️ Toyota Camry
Lexus ES ❤️ Toyota Crown

Can you do a review on the new Cadillac CT5 V Twin Turbo V6?
Question...LC 500 or IS 500?
The IS500 is the one to get
In a turbo 4 I luv the V6..and analog gauges..Does it have stupid annoying stop/start? Don’t care that it can be turned off, don’t want it..

Lexus built a cool white car
Is it AWD? I believe only AWD is V6
It's a cat! i do the same :D. great car and awesome there are still NA powerplants!
It will be a great used car in 3-5 years :-) at around $30-25k.
Wish the IS or LS went electric already to compete w/ BMW
Honestly can't buy one until they update the interior like the SUVs. Smh
why is the awd has detuned v6?
Because it's and outdated car full of engineering compromises.
What's the difference between this IS 300 F Sport vs the IS 350 F Sport?
IS300 - 4 cylinder (inline 4) turbocharged engine
IS350 - 6 cylinder (V6) naturally aspirated engine
IS500 - 8 cylinder (V8) naturally aspirated engine

@@jordanimatedstreaming Yes thank you very much for the info.
Isn't the IS the Lexus version of a Corolla or Lexus GS while the ES is based on the Camry
yes when it comes to size
Corolla = IS
Camry = ES & GS
Avalon = LS

I thought the 300 was a turbo charged 2.0 four cylinder?

It 300 offers both options, 2.0 turbo 4 cylinder (241hp) and detuned NA V6 (260 hp)

You need a 350 or a 500.
The camry in suits with tons of plastic and no premium materials? naa
Interior is a joke
The interior needs a refresh. It’s hideous
