    Honestly. This is hands down the best looking lexus ever made. It looks so put together, and every line and crease feels purposeful for its look. I like this design even more than the LC500.

      Not sure which LC500 you meant or you may have driven. But this is no where near LC500 - I mean, looks, interior and performance. I have driven both.

      @@lakay99 i’ve seen lc500. I just like the new look is 2021 a lot more. It looks aggressive and sporting, where the lc500 looks like a beauty for smooth curves. I personally prefer, angular, sporty aggressive looking cars over sleek beautiful curvy cars.

    Lexus did a good job with this sedan. I’ve always taught that BMW and Mercedes cars have looked the same for the last 20 years. Lexus has that bold, sharp, luxurious design that just stands out. I’ve always been a Toyota/Lexus fan, I own a Toyota myself and hope to one day upgrade to a Lexus.

    Very funny thing is, my 2006 GS430 RWD used to get 30 MPG cruising 80 on the highway. That 3UZ engine is derived from 1UZ that was developed in 90s. So 30 MPG for essentially a 2GR FKS from 2016ish is lame to say the least. Even considering it is AWD, it shows how good the old 3UZ was.

    I want to see what the RWD model with the Dynamic Handling Package gets for MPG. I’m between that and the 2021 Supra 3.0 for a daily commuter car. I fit better in the Lexus (I’m 6’9) but the Supra is obviously more fun and gets 35mpg real world.

    • @steinway325
      @steinway325 2 роки тому

      what did you end up getting? i had a supra and now i'm in an IS350 lol. speed, handling, and mpg were top tier in the supra. also very very comfortable for a sports car. but limited space and lack of rear seats made the lexus my pick for a long term daily. just wish the mpg was better. people tend to get about 24 or 25 mpg mixed, without any sporty driving. i could get that in the supra with sport mode on half the time.

      @steinway325 2 роки тому

      @@JonathanGurgul the cockpit will fit a tall person fine. there is a lot of legroom and surprising amount of headroom (designed to accommodate a helmet). but as a daily driver, there are two problems you will have to accept and live with, in order to make the car work:
      1) the headliner comes out pretty far forward, so you are looking out through a windshield that is not very tall. you'll have to avoid getting too close to traffic lights bc you can no longer see them above when you get too close.
      2) be careful not to hit your head getting in. the sides of the car frame come down pretty low, so a taller person will really have to tilt their neck a bit to get into the car
      these issues are made even worse if you have a proportionally long torso, compared to your legs. however, if you are the opposite, shorter torso and long legs, you will have no issue other than the lowness of the car itself.
      otherwise the car was amazing. so comfortable for such a capable car. would have loved to keep it as a second car. but i decided to just get one AWD solution and give up the awesome performance for long term reliability

    I have this motor and transmission in my 2016 IS 350 f sport. There is no way I can get anything close to even 400 miles to the tank. Even when I try my best and drive like an old man for the week and get no traffic on my 20 mile journey to work, the best I have ever gotten was 320 miles. On a road trip and cruisng at around 75 to 80, the best was 380. It os horrible on gas, if I drive "normal".

      @@garrybussell yep. It's horrible on gas compared to other cars in the segment. My wife started working from home permanently. So I gave her the car and bought a 2010 GS 350 as my daily now. Listen, it gives better mileage than my 2016 with the same motor. Only difference is the GS is a 6 speed transmission vs the 8 speed in the IS. I get 300-320 to the tank weekly. It is better than the IS PERIOD! For MPG that is. The 8 speed is not better than the 6 speed.
