I’ve had all three gens of the IS so far, and they just keep getting better. Very reliable (other than maintenance, the only service ever done on any of them was the Takada airbag replacement), fun to drive in a spirited way, and a fantastic sound system in my gen III. Thanks Sarah, I love all your content, especially the penguins!
Beautiful car and I do love mine…now imagine this vehicle with panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, F Sport Stamped front seats, power rear view mirrors, HUD, Mark Levinson audio/Triple LED Headlights on all models, new infotainment (RX)….that would be a Lexurious launch for the IS 500/350 in a future iteration! Thanks for another Great review!
As someone from Germany, I really find those penguin thought bubbles in German so hilarious haha...generally speaking, please never get rid of plushy penguins in reviews, it's so unique, so is your style Sarah👍👍😄
I hate to state the obvious, but having the lift makes such a difference in your reviews. They were always fun and informative, but now, really better.
I have to say, I want one soooo bad! With AWD for the snow. I would do some performance and a few visual mods to it but otherwise it’s literally the perfect car for me.
Sarah your reviews have continued to be very impressive. Especially now that you have a shop and put the car to show the exhaust and suspension parts. Oh and the Penguin ain't bad either 🐧
Sarah, I agree with you, in that Lexus has always made great cars. I also appreciate your taking the time to highlight the underside of the car. We gearheads want to see this stuff. And the penguin comments are totally cute. Keep up the great work.
Sarah, Production starts for the Acura TLX S-spec turbo in May. I was involved in alot of the plastic and glass filled nylon engine parts of the engine package
Not long ago I watched couple of your Lexus reviews out of curiosity as I myself own a 2014 IS F Sport and initially I though you are very weird. In some extend by the way of expression, you were reminding me of another content creator I used to follow when I was in the college - Grace Helbig, but today I spent some time watching your videos about the detailing of your MR2 and the vlog about the moving your grandma's Ranger for restoration which were very interesting. So, Sarah, congrats, you've earned yourself a new subscriber.
Have thought for a long time that the IS350 is the best looking sport sedan and I've always wanted one. I agree it's a little pricey for what you get compared to other's in the category but still a car I love and you know it's going to last.
Sarah Greetings from the UK. Absolutely love your reviews. Looking forward to seeing more on your go kart and also how you get on with your Grandma’s pick up. Just know that all of your hard work in producing this content is very much appreciated.
Your reviews are the best!!! So glad I found your channel last week, no bs 10000 word presentation about all the features of the vehicle you can find on Google, just real world reviews of some nice whips.
First video of yours I've seen. Nice to see a presenter that actually comes across as mostly unscripted. All of the quality of Doug Demuro but without the lame forced laughter and the pasty leg+ shorts. Subbed.
Lexus definitely don't fall apart. Owned many. And they are all still running. Just amazing. And I have to say Sarah you are a amazing attractive woman.
Bottle of Lexus for artistic welding where you can't see it and Sarah for pointing it out👍 I think Sarah should have an LS project car or aura Honda next?
Totally agree with the penguin score. I know there are more techno savvy cars, I know there are bigger cars, I know there are better “values”. But for some reason, the Lexus IS350 is the ONLY car I want to own in this segment.
I love the IS. It has a nice weight distribution you can feel in the corners. It’s low, tight and nimble. I appreciate the use of aluminum in the front subframe, upper and lower control arms and tie rods.
I so wanted to buy the coupe version of this but the lack of a stick shift was the deal breaker for me. So I now own one of the last of the 370z's in passion red. I know others will ridicule me for the choice but I am more about enjoying the drive than impressing others.
Great job Sarah I ..I'm a massive fan of your channel and the IS series also ..I have owned the original is200 and is250 and I got the 2 liter turbo 2 years ago it's amazing ,with a horrible engine number it the 8 ar-fts you were so close with 8 farts ..lol keep up the content ..I liked the go cart stuff ....Kevin from new zealand
Lmfao you had me laughing so hard! First time watching a vid from you and I love your approach to reviewing the car with such creative analogies and deadpan delivery. You have a new subscriber here! 😁
Off topic, but inspired by a past video, I clay bared my windscreen this week. Never though of it before but it was poorly clearing the rain and had lots of crap. It has never been so clean. It is like new (well almost). At least it is better than ever. Not a great car (VW polo) but appreciate the advice. You are awesome Sarah!
@@SergCarReviews Spec? Has the triple beam led headlights, Mark Levinson. pretty much has all the goodies with V6 311 hp engine, Cabiar color, red interior, fancy wheels.
Pause at 2:33 - Can’t help but notice how the side profile looks exactly like my old 2009 IS! The roofline and everything, they just keep redesigning the front/rear ends and call it brand new! 😂
Great review, it is sexy but I’m glad you mentioned the redline deficiency. Some people wouldn’t give that detail because it’s new, pretty and really quick.
Fun fact, Sarah, the 5.0L v8 F performance coming out this year is the mid level F trim. Lexus execs mentioned to us at Sebring in Florida that the ISF will return next year with a twin turbo 4.0L v8 but said they won’t confirm the power figures yet. I’m looking forward to it, though it’s price will be between $78k-81k As well as other F models will appear. The RCF may get the twin turbo v8 as well and then the NA 5.0V8 will be a F performance RC500
Lexus gave me one to drive a few weeks ago. I was disappointed. Soft suspension in Sport+, lack of power, and weight are the downsides. I’ll hold out for the IS500 to see if it’s any better
I like this review. all reviewers take shit about that grill and clock, but not you. In my IS, whenever someone comes in, I always get compliments on how classy the clock is. Unlike the majority of press reviewers that nit pick it.
Nice review! I’m looking forward for the IS500 f sport I love that 5.0 it sounds amazing I fell in love with the isf back in 2008 with that 5.0, there’s only 700 of the 500s going to be made for 2022 plus the 500 made for the launch edition so the price probably for sure going to be marked way up to bad it’s not going to be affordable for your average person maybe get one used later on, I have a2020 Camry trd with a similar engine 3.5 I’m sure there the same with different tune trd 301hp is 350 311hp not a whole lot of difference but the Lexus cost way more the v6 should have a turbo or something on it.
funny! I dont know if anyone has commented yet but here where I live those door edge guards that you do not like are on the vehicle as pre delivery protection and are removed when the car is PDI by the technician :)
@Mike M It’s my company lease vehicle. I am a development drive for Toyota / Lexus haha! I like the car a lot. My current daily driver is a 2019 Shelby GT350 but I want this for the daily commute. It’s a nice car!

The turbo 4 engine code is 8AR-FTS so you were really close.
@FunWithCars I agree
Hahaha 🤣
8 farts, LOL 😂
Ever since i looked up IS 350 f sport on google i have been bombarded by the reviews for this car... and i love it!
Google tracking working out well for you
The pants and boots matched this review perfectly! 🔥
Beautiful car and I do love mine…now imagine this vehicle with panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, F Sport Stamped front seats, power rear view mirrors, HUD, Mark Levinson audio/Triple LED Headlights on all models, new infotainment (RX)….that would be a Lexurious launch for the IS 500/350 in a future iteration! Thanks for another Great review!
You nailed it with that wishlist. I own the 2022 and think I would trade it in if they came out like that in the next year or two.
Ahh Sarah, I love watching your videos. Seeing all your quirky humor and appreciating your technical savvy.. I wish I knew a girl like you IRL.
Cool how you are putting the cars on the lift makes for an interesting video thanks.
OOMG! My WISH finally came through!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH Sarah!!!

Love the look underneath. The look at the subframe, diff, and suspension are all appreciated Sarah and crew👍🏼
Hey Eli, if you like Lexus, I have made a few reviews on them including the IS350. If you have time to watch them let me know what you think :)
"That right there is a unibrow that should never be plucked." Classic, just classic Sara. :)
I've always loved these one piece tail lights but i'm gonna have to call them unibrow now hahaha
Sarah your reviews have continued to be very impressive. Especially now that you have a shop and put the car to show the exhaust and suspension parts. Oh and the Penguin ain't bad either 🐧
I’m glad the Penguin is getting the safety it needs.
I like how they incorporated the clock into the vents. It's more of an afterthought on the other lexus models
I love the new dress for success looks
It’s the (I’m not going to ruin these clothes working in my garage look).
@@SarahnTuned Well it is a great look, a greater sense of humor
I just want to say, congrats on over 50M views on your channel. Getting funnier and more awesome each week. Congrats from Ireland.

I love the Lexus brand. Sarah's presentation/review is the cherry on top.
This channel and chick are so dope. I really enjoy your channel. Starlight to the point. Love it.
Loving those leather pants Sarah! Great review too!
Have thought for a long time that the IS350 is the best looking sport sedan and I've always wanted one. I agree it's a little pricey for what you get compared to other's in the category but still a car I love and you know it's going to last.
I love how much passion you have in all your videos! I must say the lippie and hoop earring are a major vibe!! Love it!!
Thanks for the pointer on door edge film!

That one beautiful car. Rocking those leather pants Sarah 😍

I hope you get a chance to review the IS 500. Great content and jokes on 🔥 as always. Thank you.
I love the extensive tour of the underside that you presented. 🙏
Lexus definitely don't fall apart. Owned many. And they are all still running. Just amazing. And I have to say Sarah you are a amazing attractive woman.
This car should be able to drift straight out of the box. They sure made the body design look fast. Looks good.
Any chance you could test an Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti?
Bottle of Lexus for artistic welding where you can't see it and Sarah for pointing it out👍 I think Sarah should have an LS project car or aura Honda next?
Lighting in the shop for vids is a big win!
The butterfly fluttering while you praise revs!
Sarah is back, and it shows.
I love hearing you say yes, yes and yes...Just say'in.

I purchased a new 2022 is 350 and love it , it’s definitely not the fastest but makes that up in reliability and comfortability Feels solid
Awesome and funny review. 100% agree with the points that you made too. Love the IS line in the end. Lexus wouldn't be here today without the IS.
Beautiful car! I just wish it was AWD in the V8. Something to compete more directly with Mercedes, Audi, and BMW
Every time you love a Lexus I know I'll love it too and I start checking for local pricing.
Exactly, it won't fall apart!!!
Four penguins I think is your highest score so far! Great video. Thanks!
Nice to see Penguin safely belts.
The sound system is Amazing!
can't wait for her to review the IS 500
I really enjoy your channel !
My favourite Sarah and my favourite car brand 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I agree with your assessment. If one was going to spend $45k+ for a car, the choices become very competitive.
Absolutely love this car, can't wait for the IS 500.
I recently bought a new 2023 IS 350 F Sport.
Awesome! What spec did you get??

Great review, it is sexy but I’m glad you mentioned the redline deficiency. Some people wouldn’t give that detail because it’s new, pretty and really quick.
Sarah, the exhaust at 9:10 isn't made by welds. They roll it to get the diameter smaller
yep
I like the colour of your right thumbnail. very enjoyable video.
Beautiful car. I had the 2017 but got rid of it only because my family expanded a bit.
“I’m gonna eat your face off front end."
That’s the best description of the current Toyota design ‘esthetic’ I’ve ever heard.
Fun fact, Sarah, the 5.0L v8 F performance coming out this year is the mid level F trim. Lexus execs mentioned to us at Sebring in Florida that the ISF will return next year with a twin turbo 4.0L v8 but said they won’t confirm the power figures yet.

Bro was dreaming, twin turbo V8 🤣🤣
3 years passed. Still no new ISF.
I have the same same model 2021 IS 350 with DHS. Loves it!
the black interior matches Sarahs leather very well
Love the video and love your technical words they are fantastic 😂😂❤️❤️
Those cutouts at the rear do a lot for the aerodynamics.
Love your videos!! That was an omen when that Bird of Prey got it's dinner! I give you 4 1/2 beans for your bolstering!!!!
Great review as always! But I have to say I miss abandoned warehouse days
Your best wardrobe and My favorite look! Your makeup is perfect and The lexus is ok too.
"Curved broomhandle"...that was funnny. Accurate, but funny at the same time.
Sarah is best car reviewer :)
"...based on the feeling you get behind your belly button when you extract beans."
Me: Wat?! 😆
Welcome to a Sarah review. 😂
It’s actually very attractive and NA engine is charming
Great camera on the braking test!
Lexus gave me one to drive a few weeks ago. I was disappointed. Soft suspension in Sport+, lack of power, and weight are the downsides. I’ll hold out for the IS500 to see if it’s any better
Another excellent review!
Best daily on the market especially coupled with the Rr Racing tune. That tune brings the redline up! I personally have a GS350 but to all the same!
Awesome video Sarah... Lexus for the win!
2016 IS350 owner for life
"The uni-brow that should never be plucked." That car is Frida Kahlo
Oh yes. My Dream car.
this is not a serious car review show, and I like it ...
I like this review. all reviewers take shit about that grill and clock, but not you. In my IS, whenever someone comes in, I always get compliments on how classy the clock is. Unlike the majority of press reviewers that nit pick it.
Nice review! I’m looking forward for the IS500 f sport I love that 5.0 it sounds amazing I fell in love with the isf back in 2008 with that 5.0, there’s only 700 of the 500s going to be made for 2022 plus the 500 made for the launch edition so the price probably for sure going to be marked way up to bad it’s not going to be affordable for your average person maybe get one used later on, I have a2020 Camry trd with a similar engine 3.5 I’m sure there the same with different tune trd 301hp is 350 311hp not a whole lot of difference but the Lexus cost way more the v6 should have a turbo or something on it.
Later this year IS500 to be released! Same car pretty much except V8 naturally aspirated producing nealry 500HP!
So glad you can keep a straight face Sarah .. hahaha 🤣 .. love the review!! 🐧🐧👍
funny! I dont know if anyone has commented yet but here where I live those door edge guards that you do not like are on the vehicle as pre delivery protection and are removed when the car is PDI by the technician :)
Even the underneath of this car is a work of art.
I love your reviews. Have you thought of reviewing the 2021 kia forte gt?
Getting mine on Monday! Ultrasonic Blue 2.0 with Dynamic Handling Package and all the other goodies
@Mike M It’s my company lease vehicle. I am a development drive for Toyota / Lexus haha!
I like the car a lot. My current daily driver is a 2019 Shelby GT350 but I want this for the daily commute. It’s a nice car!
