Couple of corrections... 1. You said the traction control is turned off when the car is put into Sport S+ and that's not correct. You can turn it off by holding down the button in the console for a few seconds, but the car does not automatically turn off any of its safety features. 2. The ASC (Active Sound Control) is just amplified induction noise from the engine (which is natural) and it can be turned off by sliding the button down until it clicks. The point of this car is to be dual purpose, a daily commuter during the week and a fun mountain runner on the weekends. As such, the exhaust sound was purposely toned down a bit, which I for one appreciate. The drone at highway speeds of those crackling and popping products is flat out bonkers, no thanks. 😀 Lastly, I've owned two IS350s previously and the IS500 is not the same car. The V8 makes every aspect of the driving experience a bit *more* in my opinion. Thanks for posting.
Lexus literally threw the GSF front subframe and suspension pieces into the IS500 to make the V8 work on the IS I don't get why he said is same as IS350, suspension was tuned different, IS350 don't have Yamaha Body Damper front and back which IS500 have also the 2 piece rotors, and I have mention this again, ML sound system have DVD/CD player not just CD lol...
@@3IS2UR Suspension - I have no idea why he said it, but unfortunately he's not the only one. The fact sheets are there for everyone to read beforehand, but alas.....
Of note, it's "crammed", as you say, in the back because you have the comfort access set to its fullest setting. If you want the front seat to slide back a little less, you can do a halfway setting, giving rear passengers a little more space to get in and out.
One nit picky comment I have… you said it’s fuel efficient if you don’t drive like an idiot when that 5L V8 is meant to be driven…. It’s not built to be fuel efficient. Drive a Prius if you need something fuel efficient. Come on now…
You won’t have much time to care about infotainment system as you will enjoy exhaust and power, needs the black interior and then perfect. This car will outlast any bmw or Mercedes blow up plastic turbo engines
@esteban1487 No. You read "pumped in through speakers" and you thought it's amplified, didn't you? It's simply induction only, through the speakers' pores. Nothing is electrically played or tuned.
Tru, only one can dream to bring back something like the Lexus LFA. And I think exiting times for cars are coming to a end. Unless you want to spend money on a electric vehicle, but I think the batteries are definitely going to be wearing out pretty quick, along with their monstrous weight. we might see electric sports cars, but nobody wants speaker revving noises. Those sound weird and car companies are Psychopaths for adding fake speaker engine sounds.
So we buying cars to pay for cops food now. You sound like a big dummy. Your looking at a Lexus. It’s a dinosaur. It’s not the most up to date tech. But it’s still alive… your new tech gonna set your pockets a few years behind just because you wouldn’t rather settle for a few years behind.
Another thing they missed on was exhaust sound. It legit sounded like a v6 engine. Like some pops and cracks would have been a nice touch for the price point
ALL THAT MONEY JUST FOR A V8 ENGINE,CAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE DOESN'T LOOK AT ALL LIKE LUXURY FOR IT BEING A LEXUS. THIS PARTICULAR CAR IS FOR YOUNGSTERS FOR THEIR PARENTS TO BUY FOR THEM!!!!💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Awesome owner input. I own an 04GS430 but would love to add one of these to my garage
@@utagzmotoring Do it! Do it! Do it! 😜👍🏽

You don't buy a lexus for speed, you buy it for the beauty,comfortability,quality, and fun.
You can tell by the exhaust, the rims, and the hood.
Also, F-Sport badge on the sides of the IS 500 FS has a black background. The IS 350 FS has a white background.

Hahahaha it comes with eco mode
Maybe you are low on gas and you need to save gas till you make it to the nearest gas station
Just picked up my ultra white red interior is500 cant wait
Congrats
Beautiful
It's a 472 hp 395 torque.
Yesss sir
Has very great power delivery. I just wish it came with sports exhaust
i find the rear is too tall / long however do appreciate the quad exhaust
Yesss the quad exhaust is sooo beautiful. But I wish it was louder from the factory
Ordered mine last week, apparently i'm past the deadline for 2024 models. The 2025 one is suppose to be the equivalent.
Congrats man enjoy it up. Won’t be seeing v8 cars ever again. Would say get a aftermarket exhaust for it. The stock one just doesn’t do it
@@automotivepixel yes definitely! Was looking at that catback exhaust system. Sounds nice!
Very nice review. Is this the last year of Lexus’s v8 engine in the IS500?
Doubt it, if it sells well they will continue to do it. Perhaps it is a marketing strategy. Just note these cars are only going to get better.
Continuing in 2024... Pretty sure you got to order them though

Very nice review
That slider to the left of the steering wheel is the tachometer brightness level bro. These guys don't pump engine noise from the speakers.
Actually they do. It's called Active Sound Control.
@@esteban1487
No, it's just induction noise. Not amplified sounds.
@@yousef.al-assaf Wrong. Look it up. I did.
@esteban1487
No. You read "pumped in through speakers" and you thought it's amplified, didn't you?
It's simply induction only, through the speakers' pores. Nothing is electrically played or tuned.
You’re calling THIS a novelty car and not the bmw/Mercedes. This is an actual reliable daily driver.
Beautiful car 👌🏽 💯.
Mahn the way he criticized the car though🤧😅.
Hahaha I was being very honest my bad
@@automotivepixel true though
Nice car, but the all-red interior can get old after a while.
Unless you're a blood
It’s beautiful but not so great for winter lol rather get 300 or 350 because AWD
Lc 500 still has v8 as well
It is literally my dream with all it has especially the black color
2014 F better
Does this come in 4 wheel drive? Because you said this one in the video is 2 wheel drive.
No only rwd
I need this…I have plans for it that I will not discuss here. 😊
IS 300, 350, 500 In the STATES, want the 500 by Xmas, red or silver🤔
He sounds like Bryan picking on Vindiesel, 350 over the 500? Never! if u don't like v8s bro just say that sheesh 😅......
77k? No
The have overdone it in the amount of red on the interior
Yeah. All it needs is a sports exhaust

Not a big fan of rhe tablet
What the hell kinda review was that? You barely knew anything about the car and no driving impressions?
2014 sounds way better they just don't make these new car tough anymore too much focus on eco for politics
Well said
Ignorant and uninformed political agenda boring.
0-60 IN 4.6 SECONDS IS VERY SLOW FOR A CAR WITH A V8 ENGINE WITH OR WITHOUT ANOTHER EXHAUST💯💯💯
Yeah the bmw m340i is faster and sounds better
…and with a BMW you will get to know your service technician on a first name basis once the warranty is gone.
So we buying cars to pay for cops food now. You sound like a big dummy.

Car👍Review of car👎
Slow and no AWD. Big miss from Lexus.
Another thing they missed on was exhaust sound. It legit sounded like a v6 engine. Like some pops and cracks would have been a nice touch for the price point
Nice car. Boring & unprofessional review. All touch pads are unsafe. Worst additions to new cars. Oh and his bright red clown pants are unsafe too.
AND TO YOUR QUESTION, NO IT'S NOT WORTH 77,000.!!!!!!💯🕵
Must be the price in Canada because it’s not that expensive in the US
@@eleanormassaro5195I think with taxes and fees, it'll come to that price
No, its not worth $77k.
ALL THAT MONEY JUST FOR A V8 ENGINE,CAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE DOESN'T LOOK AT ALL LIKE LUXURY FOR IT BEING A LEXUS. THIS PARTICULAR CAR IS FOR YOUNGSTERS FOR THEIR PARENTS TO BUY FOR THEM!!!!💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
THAT CAR DOES NOT COMPETE WITH ANY MERCEDES OR BMW PERIOD!!!!!!!💯💯💯💯💯💯
Lmao it does when it's not sitting in a shop
Beautiful
