Lexus IS 500 vs Model 3 Performance
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2023
- The Lexus IS500 F Sport has been unchanged for many years but in this review I now see why. The V8 is incredible but how does it stand up against the best value in electric performance with the Model 3 Performance?

Rolex vs Smartwatch
Grand Seiko?
Rolex vs Timex
IS is a 13 year old design and is basically a RWD Corolla in size and appearance. Corolla actually has more interior space lol. IS500 has a great engine though and is still a fun car. Just slow for what you’re paying
@@GrandHuevotes what you consider fast today, ICE or EV, will be trumped by 2030 EVs. Might as well get a car that has something as iconic as an na engine
Dude, the clock's not "outdated." It's analogue on purpose. It's a classy touch that I guess goes over some peoples' heads.
I went from a model 3 to a polestar 2 and now to an is 500. This car is truly special
Great comparison. I owned a Mach E GT for a year and a 22 Model 3 Performance for a year. Tesla was significantly better of the two.
But I hated that everyone owns a model 3 and missed the sound and comfort. So I sold it and bought a 19 LC500 - WOW what a car! Iconic style, amazing comfort and build quality and that sound..
i have both an is500 and a model 3 and there's no comparison. the lexus is far superior in terms of quality and that sound of the V8 is intoxicating.
I’m that weird guy who went this car over a M3p. I test drove teslas several times, I loved them so much I almost got one. But after I did some calculations in detail, the savings on a Tesla was not as much as I thought due to higher insurance on teslas in my area, and I also don’t qualify for tax credits. Add a little bit and I’m in is500 range for long term cost of ownership. Plus the build quality and fun factor I went with the Lexus. I’m so happy with the car it makes me want to go to work everyday. I have very long commute and this thing never bored me, in a sea of teslas in my company garage I’ve never had trouble finding my car. Its not for everyone. A tesla is a way better product of solving your daily problems, the 500 is for those who appreciate a well done old tech.
I did the same
Picked IS 500 for uniqueness (too many teslas and BMWs around where i live), styling and the sound.
Same here. I test drove the model 3 multiple times and wanted it for the ease of driving, savings and tax rebate. But the motor head in me just didnt want any of it. Now glad I got in an IS500 NA V8. Nowdays I wake up 5 mins earlier to go to work...lol
Same here, recently took our IS500 on a road trip with 3 in the car from Florida to Tennessee. It was comfortable and a blast to drive.
I almost picked up an RC F for my wife. We ended up with a Model 3 Performance and a Model Y Performance. We have a Lexus GX with the silky V8 and a modified manual E46 M3 in the garage for the weekends. The Tesla is a stress free drive but the interior cannot compare to the Lexus.
You drive the Lexus, the Tesla drives you...
That was so poetic 😂
Love all these comparisons you are doing
Great video, as an is500 owner I appreciate it!
Yea I was very surprised and pleased with it. Great choice
Lexus exterior is so good. They have updated so many other interiors, but have forgotten the IS.
Great video! Do you think we can get a new updated video comparing the IS 500 with the new highland model 3?
Great video!
I like both, but the Model 3 is the perfect daily driver. So convenient with the constantly updated tech + I'd hate to have to stop at gas stations all the time again. Just having to not get in a hot or cold car ever again is worth it alone.
I am not buying a car without AWD safety, Sentry, Dog Mode and Pre-condition features.
Get both and drive the Lexus on the weekends.
@@borinvlogsyour gt3rs isn’t awd
I love this comparison. Would like to have an IS500 but not practical for my lifestyle. Also I see you're in my neck of the woods. 😎
"My advice is to gamble" Classic 🤠
Great video I always liked the IS 500 ….
But I’ll give the edge to the M3P maintenance , fuel cost and the price of the cars
They are a cheap car, that’s for sure
Until the battery drops to 80 percent needing replacement or Any crash as most damage the batteries.
also M3P is plastics with cheap materials.
@@Tigerex966 to provide some information to the ignorant. if an electric vehicle's battery drops below 70% within 10 years (tesla for instance) you'll get a new battery. On top of that, you don't HAVE to get a new battery if you're fine with the reduced range. And if your battery is damaged after an accident insurance covers the cost. Same if an ice vehicle's engine is damaged. Also, speaking about range from ICE vehicles, engine also become more inefficient over time. On top of that, the cost to maintain combustion engines is hand over foot more expensive over the course of ownership. So the real comparison here would be to compare the cost of the is500 to the model 3 over the course of 5-10 years. We know how that story pans out.
Cheap for a reason and depreciation like crazy.. nothing feels expensive or special sitting in a tesla. It's just meh
Lexus is og. Im still rocking my 2002 lexus is300. Is500 is an Amazing car
I have an 02 Sportcross and love it 🎉
I am not buying a car without AWD safety, Sentry, Dog Mode and Pre-condition features.
I have an IS500 and love it. Hats off to Tesla owners but I didn't want one.
Really frustrating that Tesla still doesn't have 360 birds eye view for parking. Its the only thing I REALLY miss about the car I had prior to my Y.
I agree, it would be really helpful
Yea it’s cool, but totally unnecessary. I’ve never had a problem driving or parking a small car like a model 3
I used that in a s550 mercedes, it's not as useful as people claim.
Agree. I use this constantly in my macan turbo.
Bro it doesn't even have a HUD or gauge clusters. Most plain jane basic interior ever. Teslas dont feel like ur in something special. It doesn't make you want to get in and drive it everyday loving life. Just a basic commuter
So we don’t pass away…… that killed me bro 😂 💀
I rode in a Model 3 Uber back seat and thought the ride quality was terrible. Loud and harsh on every bump in the back seat.
“I would rather you take your money go to the casino and try to double it” - True advice 100% agree
Personally, I see the convenience factor of an EV if you commute from your home to work everyday and NO where else. I think they are a perfectly acceptable option for those that think of a car as transportation, and not as entertainment. The model 3 is a car with no soul. Is it fun to gap people off stoplights? Sure! How many times can you do that before you get bored of it? Bombing a backroad and listening to that crisp V8 scream will never be dethroned by the brief thrill a tesla's acceleration can provide. Having been in a few model 3's, I can say that the interior is terrible! the seats are relatively comfortable but having to navigate multiple screens to open your glovebox? That's wild. There is nothing stimulating about the interior of that car, and it all feels "budget" quality at best. I rode in a 2022 that already had deteriorating/discolored window trim! I may be old school, but I prefer analog buttons, and a good ole' naturally aspirated engine. As of now, I don't view tesla's as cars, I view them as toys. It's a great vehicle to grab some groceries in, but you don't experience the same connection or age old reliability as a Lexus.
yeah... that Lexus Analog Clock is a Lexus Signature and a statement of luxury. Porsche also uses analog clock
What happened to the day when one purchased a car to drive and not worry about self driving and having a wireless phone connection ? How many people have difficulty driving let alone dealing with a phone and texting as well? I like the instant torque of a Tesla as it reminds me of my slot cars in the 60s. But for a road trip, I can refill at a gas station in five minutes and be on my way. I would not relish the time wasted waiting for a car to recharge. Perhaps for a commuting vehicle around town, but not for a trip vehicle. I used to own a 1967 GT 500 Shelby back in the 70s and it was fun to drive and did not worry about phones or screens. I recently purchased an IS 500 for those reasons.
i still have my accord 2018 my fvrt rim i like those so next
Seems like the trans isn’t warmed up or u have it in normal mode. Should shift faster
Model 3 Performance is perfect for me with much lower price compared to Lexus and the performance is way more fun than the old man Lexus.
Nope, not more fun for me.
Npc in decay.
Lmao. The model 3 looks like an egg. Teslas look like basic traffic. Yall dont even have a HUD OR GAUGE CLUSTERS 😮 What a boring ass view to look at everyday. I see why tesla can cut cost so much😂 a single bulky ugly steering wheel without even a badge metal in the middle. A single iPad. Sure does look like the "future" in their 😂 doesn't seem like ur experiencing a sports car or a luxury car. Luxury sports car give u carbon fiber around the car, carbon bucket seats or luxury seats,HUD, full self driving and auto park, buttons that feel good to press not having to scroll and take ur eyes off the road, higher grade material sport steering wheel that feels cool too have ur hands on, and a unique dashboard across the front. U can make it feel like ur in pure luxury or a luxury sports car. Tesla is neither its just so blah. I'm mindblown thats ur entire dashboard still. 😂😂 people praise them for being a poor mans fast car and now I see why.
Won't even get into the plain jane "egg"like look of the model 3 😂 not aggresive or mean looking at all. Shit turning no heads looks like basic traffic 💀
I would daily drive the Model 3 and use the IS on the weekends. That way you have the best of both worlds.
I always respect Lexus, their build quality is much better than a Tesla, lets be real, one of the best ICE car companies in my book. We had a Lexus GS350 FSport before selling it for a Model 3, still miss that Lexus honestly. But I love my Tesla, don't get me wrong!
Being in Texas, I wouldn’t be surprised if a sniper rifle was an option.
Lexus without a question.
Quality and performance over cheap build and a mule that's only fast in straight lines
I live in the Bay Area. So many Teslas, I now feel the M3 is a compliance car, also design is getting old. Also you can’t compare Lexus finish/build quality vs Tesla.
Many especially low and middlr class or single dont qualify for tax. Credit welfare.
The Lexus looks amazing, just wish for better gas mileage
I get 28 mpg on the highway
To be fair the bare minimum on a model 3 would be about $46,000USD after the federal tax credit and then you would still be saving about $1,700 just on fuel alone if you’re driving about 13K miles/year. The Lexus takes premium that cost on average at least for Georgia and it’s much worse in most other states $4 effin dollars a gallon😂 I ain’t peacocking to anybody for them prices
$46k minimum? Which model 3 are you referring to? M3 Standard is $38k, M3LR is $46k and M3P is $51k.
I know I’m saying the performance bc that’s what would be compared to this Lexus👍🏼
The clock is classy.
The cd make music special without tracking you and selling your choices to the highest bidder hd audio without subscriptions you own your music.
Cds can be had at 1 dollar a piece.
At second hand stores not a dollar a song like apple or 15 dollars a month t I tent.
The Lexus is an artwork.
The is500 would still be running like new whereas the tesla battery pack would have long been dead...
Tech in a cars nice but who cares? I'm more partial to driving my car vs fiddling with the latest tech features
sexy car but damn that curb rash is hurting my soul man
But it’s STILL an ICE!! 😏
who needs a front camera any ways l=keeepcontinue
nece try thouuuu
Sniper rifle. lol 😂
I have model Y and lexus rx350, love them both
i m getting a silver colore freee one .. nice try agaian
u r ignoring one thing the fuelaverage thats what needed
Without regen braking, it could easily burn-up those expensive brake pads vs relatively low cost tires in case of M3P. Wish there was a selective on-demand regen (using a clutched generator + resistive load), without batteries, just to give that instantaneous decelleration, without burning up those high perf. brakes. It would make it more fun driving under normal road conditions. Just some 💭
yea id take this over any electric car any day. Never really a fan of electric cars, I've always think that its boring and it takes away the joy of driving.
I believe the lexus costs more. Let alone the premium gas
You gotta pay for quality and real investment in and automobiles exterior and interior quality and fit and finishes. All of which Tesla lacks.
Costs too much and I feel like it will get old real quick and feel like just another dressed up ice auto
At 80 percent battery that used modell 3 needs a new battery $$$$$$
I have a ‘22 Model 3….underwater. Otherwise this Lexus is very tempting.
yea get that thing paid off first
I love the exterior and motor of the IS500, but the deal breaker for me is the dated interior. Aside from a couple of insignificant changes, it is almost identical to the 2014 IS model.
Dated. BUT much higher quality safer easier to use real. NO look buttons and switches true sift high quality leather and plastics reliability low cost compared to tesla body work etc.
Better looking grom every angle.
You drive it instead if tracking Computers driving you.
Slower in a drag race but higher top speed smoother ride easy to modd
The Lexus will still be valuable 10+ years from now
U can't be serious that you dig the trackpad vs an actual touchscreen?
It's also a touch screen so you have that option as well but I like the trackpad
@@GjeebsI have a trackpad in my CLA35 and I love it, i never use the touch screen 🤷♂️
I'll take the IS500 over the Model 3. If you don't qualify for the Federal tax rebate, it's about a 15k difference (65k vs 50k'ish). If you do qualify, it's about 21k'ish difference. And certainly, given the price volatility of Tesla, can go even cheaper for a used one. I think the average person would opt for the Model 3. The IS500 is unique enough that it's in a class of it's own given a compact sports sedan.
I think hes communicating what older folks feel. They see the future and still want the louder, more expensive and slower option because they can "feel" it. But we all know he is having fun, he knows the tesla is far superior. Its just going to take time for feeling to change. Money talks and evs will come down while ice cars cant. Good comparison.
The Lexus will still be in tip top condition in 20 years while the Tesla will have been in the junk yard for a decade.
Yup. I was in my co workers Tesla and that shit was rattling everywhere. Battery degradation over time. I’m more interested in the solid state battery Toyota/lexus is experimenting with.
@@kawhiieeMust be an older model, my 2022 has 0 rattles and is indistinguishable from new after 19 months.
@@PorkchopExpression 2022? My 1990 Land Cruiser and 2004 LS430 are still like new, 0 rattles, 0 issues, nothing ever broke. My 2019 model 3 started showing issues after 1.5 years.
If the rumors are true, the next IS will be electric. So these two cars will eventually compete with each other.
Correction: teslas colors were updated recently and now all free
Wrong
Lexus all day everyday
"Once you get up to speed you could probably outperform the Model 3". WRONG!! My friend who has the Model 3P smoked a Demon so badly, it was embarrassing. So no, wrong Gjeebs 🙂
Yeah. It’s a high 12s quarter mile car. The M3P would annihilate it easily as it’s a mid 11s car. Not even close
He is not wrong. From a roll, the IS500 takes it after 100 MPH
@@yousefal-assaf2985 Sure, that's possible, but most people don't drive 100 MPH. Races are won between 0 and 80, and it's over. Even my Polestar 2 will smoke an IS500 0 to 90. But respect to the IS500, if I had not gone EV, that's what I would driving
@@asifalimirzapremium gas 😭
Only speed, all other materials are cheap inside, terrible ride and cabin noise. 99% people won't race like dumb.
Cant really compare, gas vs electric
Giant battery on wheels all day. Tesla hands down
Had a Lexus before. Switched to M3P when it was cheaper than the brand new IS350 even... Best decision ever... but craving and missing the Lexus quality. The moment Lexus almost match with Tesla performance and technology, I will consider switching back.
It's not fair that you compare dirt cheap Tesla to solid gold Lexus V8...lol
Keep your car for 10 years or longer and see how Tesla REALLY cares about you
The Lexus looks way better but I'd still rather have the Tesla, once you go EV hard to go back to a ICE car, now if that Lexus was a EV with a updated tesla plug now that would be awesome.
My stepson is a finance manager at the local Lexus finance manager. A customer brought his $90,000 year old Tesla to trade on a Lexus SUV. The dealership offered him $42,000 trade. The guy walked out. A week later he came back and bought the Lexus. He said $42,000 offer was the best he could get. Just sayin'.
If that Lexus was a EV I would trade my damn is350 right now
This can’t compare to the Model 3 😂
Sniper rifle might have sold me. But…naah.
Tesla is a cheap appliance.
For an ICE car to be presented as a "Sport" model, but it totally lacks a clutch pedal and the requisite 6 speed stick shift, it comes across to me, as a total FAIL.
Manuals are dead. People don't want to get smoked by EV soccer moms hitting 60 in 4.0 because they have to shift. And I drove fast manuals for years.
TESLA UGLY PLAIN DASHBOARD LEXUS BETTER QUALITY
Tesla’s model T looks like a short bus in comparison. Beautiful vs. Ugly
Interesting take. Eventually Toyota/Lexus will bring the things they’re good at to an EV. They know how to make great cars generally.
I like a metal roof with an openable sunroof. And stalks.
Lexus interiors do look dated and busy to me at times.
EV all the way at this point for me.
The newer ones aren't very busy. Maybe too understated. Lexus is big on refinement. So, there's something very satisfying about how they feel and most of them are ultra-reliable.
@@benjaminsmith2287I’d like a great Lexus EV. There is a lot to like.
I feel the opposite, I can’t stand Teslas plain interiors, to the point it’s a deal breaker. I’d love an EV with a lexus interior
But have you ever had a high performance NA V8?
While EVs are fine but man, these 4 Teslas look exact same, like an egg. Ugly looking vehicles.
Like my comment
Sorry but the Lexus interior is old and dated.
People will buy this for sound & feel. Nothing more. This is for the aging narcissist who needs to be seen & heard
What a close minded terrible take
@@Gjeebsfr
@@Gjeebs Good for you, Sir. This sort of BEV snobbery is unfortunate. Once can appreciate the different choices out there in the market and how well they are executed as well as the different tastes in the car buying public.
Wtf 😂
@@Gjeebs i guess i triggered an aging narcissist. Could’ve fooled me lol
Lexus interior is like 20 years old, they still put a F*** CD player in there. WTF are you doing lexus it's 2023 and you're still using 2003 interior.
Because for audiophiles, CDs have higher bit rate than streaming media. So for them, music sounds better on CDs.
Teslas are awful
