That was the best review of this car I've ever seen and you didn't say a word !
I didn’t realize I loved Lexus ASMR until this video xD
The exterior design has aged pretty damn well
misterq0604 Fr stil crispy since 2006
It’s ugly
Ghosts1912 you have awful taste then
Damn straight, 2nd gen still looks awesome
I would like to have this generation's exterior and the current generation interior...
The quality of the 2 generation interior was far superior than the current model I don’t mind the simple layout modern yet classic maybe just an updated navigation with Apple car play
On the contrary, I'll like to have this interior with the newer models exterior; I just dislike the position of the newer model infotainment
the most gorgeous old model interior of lexus sedan
Watching this 10 yrs later and man... What a clean example you got there. Looks good in today's eyes. Only 600 miles on that. Thank you for this piece of history !
I highly appreciate this video.. this car looks amazing even in 2020
I just purchased a 2012 IS350 AWD spec'd exactly like this one. Super low miles, one owner. I am waiting on it to arrive from out of state. Watching this like 5 times a day in the meantime 😍! Gorgeous video, thanks!!
I’m getting the EXACT same thing. Just curious what you paid? They are asking 19,500 with 40k miles.
@@AutoHeadz Yeah man. I paid $19,990 for mine out of south FL (Lexus dealership) with 35k miles in Nov 2019. One owner. Current on all maintenqnce. Interior literally as new. Few little knocks and scratches but great paint. New Michelins. So with used csr prices going up with inflation as long as its clean thst sounds like a deal. Strong cars. I love it. Best of luck.
I drove IS350, lots of power, great handling far better than the 250
One of my favorite vehicles of all time.
Can you please do this again in a parking lot with same as the Lexus is350 f sport day and night drive without talking with a walk around thank you
One of the best videos of the IS! I'm sure there are many others who would love to see a remake of this video maybe with a 250 or still 350
a) the IS 350 only comes in auto
b) I'm certain he doesn't get to hand choose which cars he drives
c) I agree with you for the most part.
This is the last year (2013) that the IS had this body style. Although I'm slowly getting used to the new HUGE grills, I prefer this style. I have a 2010.
Damn sounds exactly if I was sitting there in mine... Whats the camera/microphone set up?

Looking at the exterior, I think the design dated well. The LEDs still look sharp and the car is still relatively modern. Unfortunately that falls apart interior-wise: the 2014- ISes are much improved in this regard.

Interior might look slightly dated, but it's higher quality. Lexus interior quality has went down with every new generation, more and more hard plastics.
I want this car REAL BAD😮💨
as soon as one of these pops up around where i live i’m getting it!

They go quick if they haven't been abused.

Guys im thinking to buy a used one. Am i thinking right ?
Yes. The 3.5 V6 will be very reliable. Even then, if it breaks down, there are plenty of parts. Toyota uses the 3.5 in many of their cars. It's also pretty powerful. 0-60 in mid 5 seconds. The car is nice, too.
Super reliable car very smooth handling
Still a fresh looking car after all these years
Year 2019 and this car is still my favourite lexus i prefer.this.car over new models but after i saw 49k price tag, I don't know what to say it just lot's of money for a compact sedan :/
in dubai?
I am torn between a 2015 IS 250 with premium package and a 2012 IS350. I prefer the interior on the 2015 but I also like the older model and would get a 350
@@samuelmullen9839 Get the IS350 without a doubt. The IS250 has no soul. I like the new gen but no way I would get it with the small engine.
I have the same car I love how she handles I had my car three years and she has been a joy in my life best car I ever owned.
I have an '11 AWD IS250... didn't know the 350's came in AWD on this model. Must have been a 2013-only option?
Jesse Stipek
No, you just didn't look hard enough.
thank you for this, visualizing me driving in it. cheers
Completely Agreed. Some people, knowing I love cars would ask me what I would do if I got a Lambo. I'd say sell it and buy an IS 300 and a Supra.
I’ll sell it, try to find the a 2012 Lexus IS 350 that’s never been used, and a 2nd gen Tacoma.
JDMSteven as much as I think the newer silverados or GMC Sierra are, ill take the smaller Japanese truck.
I think the best looks ones 06 07 08 not because I have the 06 just because they look more sporty and just in general
Great video!!! I cannot decide between this car and the RX 450 H... it’s interesting to see a review and know exactly where you are by the background. #MetroDetroit #michigan
I live in the UK, but companies like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Jaguar no longer have a single full manual gearbox in their lineup. BMW Mercedes and Audi are heading that way too
Love your vids!
A love Lexus models
Finally found the awd is 350 all other videos where about the rwd version
Those rims are not nearly as sporty as the rims that came on my 2009. I would definitely switch those if I owned one of those newer models.
You should do a video on the 2014 IS 350 F Sport when they come out.
Wonderful videos! Author, you know that people want. You're real Professional.
i’m looking at getting a 2011 AWD is 350. is there anything i should look for specifically?
wow nice exhaust note
True getting your facts right pal.
Fun Fact: the IS350 RWD comes with a 4.083 final drive, and the IS350 AWD comes with a 4.100 final drive.
Another Fun Fact: Despite the Lexus Having a 6-speed auto and the Acura TSX V6 having a 5-speed auto, the Lexus actually revs _higher_ in top gear than the Acura. At 80mph, the Lexus runs 2500 rpm, but the Acura TSX V6 runs 2200 rpm.
interesting to note my 2006 Volvo S80 2.5T also gives 19/26mpg.
would you recommend this or the c300 4matic?
Lexus
You are very good autobloger
Price please I'm interested
My owns a 2010 IS250 AWD. I know it's the smaller engine, but man it's horribly underpowered. And I truly feel the transmission shifts like someone with metal ingots for hands is changing the gears. The build quality is second to none however. Spectacularly soft leather.
Steve Oswald
Yep, no one wants the weak 250 (possibly the rare manual/rwd combo). Their resale is garbage vs the 350 and its extra 102hp and 93lb ft of torque.
Road trip came true on this awd
The car is diesel?
2GR-FE 3.5
@Veyronp87
I totally agree with you!!!
You forgot to turn on the power mode
Is that the spoiler at 3:38
No it's a privacy screen if this car has the sport package the trunk receives a lip
No, 93 Premium recommended.
lexus used to go for 60 grand - 80 grand. this car goes for 40 grand brandnew. forget lambo and ferrari.. thats 80's swag. theses days about M class or AMG
Тачка огонь👍
If your in america yes
Nice cae
Saying someone is less of a "true driver" than another can not be determined by the transmission they drive. Did you ever think someone might not have access to a stick shift car? Im sure every automotive lover who drives an automatic would like to own one and thinks that one day they will own one, but simply at the time it cannot happen for them. I agree, it tends to be the popular choice among what you would call "true car guys," but seriously, your argument is invalid when you consider things
3.5 litter V6 , is a petrol
damn the toyota gr engines all sound the same, theyre all great though !
I dont like how a variant of this motor is in the new tacoma. Seems too high-revving to be in a truck. They should've just stuck the dual vvti 4runner motor in it and mated it to an 8 speed if they wanted better mpgs instead of going to the smaller motor.
Have you driven it? Guess you haven't.
Try owning one, then decide.
My mother...
Car sure is luxurious, but doesn't drive much better than a toyota corolla.
...that engine tick sounds so ragady
k. Love it's the direct injection
Sadly it;s getting harder and harder to find a manual nowadays :/
I have. The steering on the IS is completely dead with no feel, it's like driving a video game.
My car sounds broken
Direct injection
2014 IS is ugly as hell
Veyronp87 agreed
that statement is false.
Unless your disabled then yeah it could be false.

I want a driver's license, mitsubishi lancer evolution 10 and in the USA.
Хочу права, mitsubishi lancer evolution 10 и в Америку.
This car is SO dated. Maybe a IS-F but IS250 and 350 are just old boring looking cars.
Says the guy who posted an is250 (puny 204hp) video 3 weeks ago.
A true car guy wouldn't drive a automatic.
Disliked... Loved your evo vid, but this one had no actual "winding road" test.... Misleading titles won't get your channel anywhere
U didn't show that AWD model's awful bulging footwell. I owned that car, 2007 with the 3.5L, for 4 years. Just got a new C400 and haven't looked back. I do not miss 1) the awful driving position (seat will not go down anywhere near far enough, so it constantly feels like you're riding on top of the car, not in it), 2) the truly egregious steering feel. It would ride every line in the road, requiring constant corrections. It would also sometimes disconnect entirely (VERY disconcerting), and it would have no feel 3) The AFS xenon lighting is useless, it makes corners worse, not better. Maybe that's why all 2011-up IS's had the feature removed permanently. 4) the interior switchgear felt like a nice family car, not a Luxury car (window switches are Toyota parts bin, for instance). 5) engine is sadly gutless below 4,000RPM. I always found myself wanting more low end torque. Car needed a turbo I4/V6. 6) brakes are not great at all.
It was also not reliable. Entire AC system blew at 50K, sending shrapnel throughout whole system -$4,000. Steering wheel position system went - $1,000. Full steering rack replacement @30K - warrantied at $3,200. 2 window regulators @70K $800. Control arms $1,200, CV Axles @50K $850. For comparison, the 2006 VW Passat VR6 had an 02 sensor and a warrantied MAF sensor. Still have that car and it's at 100K. Will not drive a Lexus again, they felt built to a price, and a copy of the real thing(s) from Germany.
+n777ua You're a terrible liar, stop trash talking Lexus my aunt's mercedes didn't last four months without issues and lets not even talk about her older z4 beamer
either you are the only person in the world to get a lemon IS350 or you're lying for some reason. I have the same car (albeit rwd) and can't relate to ANYTHING you wrote lol
mine's at 90K soon without a single repair done or required (according to the dealer) while all my beamer friends are at the garage every few months. What are you on about? Sounds like a naughty benz salesman snuck into your car one day and tampered with all your electronics to screw you into buying an overpriced, pretentious car ;)
I've seen these with over 250k many times, I always see people who drive German or American cars saying I bought a new Camry or Lexus and had tons of problems with it. Obvious lies as these things don't happen to these cars
mine done 200k without issues
