Do review of classic cars
You guys are like an old married couple!!
Keep the fights coming, but warn us so we have time to make popcorn!
Yuri complains about the stupidest things. “The traction control taking up the screen is is opposite of sporty driving”. Like shut up man
Can you please get the lexus is 300 or the hybrid one and es . I love lexus’s cars
The Lexus IS gets a lot of hate, but if there was any luxury sedan I'd own outside of a warranty it'd be this. Just saying 🤷
Gotta compare it to what's out there now and how it all functions and drives... But I've owned 2 IS's lol
Here before 30 other comments start a riot but i agree with you tho id would want to have one of these for yeears out of warranty
Lexus in general seems to get hate these days. Probably because genesis exists
@@kristians2704 This is so accurate.
@@kristians2704 Well that’s Toyota’s and Lexus tag line: reliability. That alone could be why Toyota and Lexus are the top selling brands to exist
I also think that it’s sad that Toyota’s are now more desirable than Lexus. Toyota’s latest TNGA products are what Lexus should have been doing
One thing I'll say about Lexus is the insulation is amazing. I was shocked and also a little jealous going from my M240i to driving my brother's Lexus IS350 sport. Lexus is soo quiet. It really made the drive much more relaxing not hearing so much exterior road and tyre noise.
The design thooo. “ chefs kiss “
@Nihal Singh They call it RC.
That’s what pisses me off, they never have the driving dynamics the look suggest they have
@@sephiros9883 yeah today's Lexus isn't about performance, more like a grand tourer type
@@apocalypse487 RC doesn't look as good as this IS unfortunately.
I'm quite surprised they said the Stinger looks better than this IS. The Stinger is nice, but it looks... pieced together in sections. The body lines on the IS will age so much better. The big hips on the rear fenders give this vehicle such an aggressive stance.
I like the subtle redesign. That red interior is gorgeous!
I Just posted the video 35 seconds ago!
@@YuriTereshyn i know Yuri lol. I'm familiar with the 2021 models so i left my opinion. Great job on the review.
Red?
It’s way too much red for daily used.
@@ktruong111 In person it's perfect. Rioja Red in the older models was a bit too dark... Circuit Red pops without being annoying.
I can't wait to buy this car used in a few years.
Same 😍😍
They will be release the 2.4l turbo variant to replace the v6 in the 350 f sport in a year or 2.
I have a 2012 is350 awd. 306 horsepower. Ridiculously fun for the price. Plus handles fantastic in bad weather. I can’t wait to get an used ISF or maybe a 2013/14 LS.
@@ryuken8112 hope it makes more hp. I have a 2014 gs350 f sport with this same engine. No complaints, but more hp is always welcome.
@@christophers.4007 Not too sure if it will get more power. I got the news from the youtuber kirk kreifels. Based on the chart he has it says 300hp but that can change. It should make the car a bit lighter along with increasing mpg and possibly torque.
I’m a simple man, I see Lexus, I click
Great minds think alike
I’m simple too. I see Toyota I just click 😀
I think that means youre a boring man. Lexus are incredibly boring.
It's simple man, I see lexus or toyota and I know that someone will drive slow like a snail, starting from lights like woke up already and turning like a 90y old.
@@beansley3740 Eh, everyone has their own taste 🤷♂️
I love my 350 F-Sport! Been an absolute great car. Reliable and fast enough.
This was a great update from Lexus. They kept similar lines while making it look way better! Interior with a touch screen was a needed addition as well
I've had my IS350 F Sport RWD for about 2 weeks now and it's great. Fast enough, wonderfully comfortable, pleasingly appointed and generally the fit and finish is just superb. It looks great too, but that's an individual choice thing. When I was younger I would have poured scorn on this car. Now, middle aged and no longer interested in the traffic light shoot-out I'm very very satisfied. It's a very well made pair of slippers, and I'm ok with that.
Congrats! RWD is "correct wheel drive" on this car... The 8-speed and lower weight make a big difference. I took delivery of my 2021 IS 350 F Sport RWD a little less than a week ago. I am a huge fan so far!
Excellent summary of this vehicle and sentiments shared! This car had me at the test drive. Enjoy!
I use to hate the is300 but when i drove one i was impressed my brother got one and i really like it just need more power i race people with it smoke them
I’ve been with my 2022 three weeks and love it, no owner of a Lexus gonna track it
Late reply but how is the seat comfort and the supsion
This is my favorite review video of yours! Keep up the good work fellas!! 👍🏾👍🏾
Your intro tracks get me even more hyped than I thought I was to watch you vids😂
Every generation of IS has been gorgeous. This one is no exception. Can’t wait to get a CPO one of these in a few years.
I am absolutely loving the intro music!
Great review. These guys epitomize “agreeing to disagree.” Love it.
OH MY thank you so much for adding the KW and NM figures on the video! Each time I have to pause and convert them to understand how much power and torque cars make XD
That intro pull was lit👍
The tracking shot was the best I have ever seen.
I like the new "price in CAD & USD" same screen edit. 🙌
I’ve been waiting for a review on this car!!
Love the new redesign great review guys
Bulletproof reliability, awd, V6 power and sound, Lexus luxury and resale value... definitely a lot to like about these
The interior is tiny and the transmission tunnel is awfully intrusive, but I agree otherwise.
yessiririririririr
Guys! you gotta turn off traction control (hold it in till it beeps while in park) it literally puts the car in a different mode, then put on sport + and the car will FEEL like a different car completely; including more slipping haha
Just got a ‘15 GS350 and can confirm this
EXACTLY! Most people don’t know anything about them and just take them in the track and are disappointed. It’s still in road mode!
Also have a gs350 and can confirm
They need to get this car back to the track and try it!!
I’ve been waiting for this one.
Great video guys 👊🏼👊🏼
Love the 80s movie music in the intro. Classy touch.
See this in person and it looks so good!
Thanks for another informative, pleasant, and entertaining review
Thanks for your nice comment 🥰
Introduction music is the Tuesday energy we need.
i like that they give up and coming lumberjacks a chance to review with yuri.
it speaks to their good nature to help out other industries like that
Sounds like Fazzio but I can't be sure!!! Dance with the Dead maybe?
First, my boss tells me to stay home, and right after he does that, you guys release a video.
I'm loving this day already!
great work with the chase cam
Been waiting for this! Considering one of these and a Kia Stinger V6
Love cars with rear light bars. Hope they never go out of fashion. 🤗
The is350 rwd is just the perfect car for everyday driving.Plenty enough power for a daily,dead reliable/rocksolid car and great handling for a daily.
Depends where u live ill say all wheel drive
Yep, I just picked one up yesterday, here in Phoenix Arizona and I was looking for a solid, reliable daily driver. This definitely fit the bill. Nice enough to take out to a fancy dinner but perfect for commuting back-and-forth to work.
You guys are a great team, love this review. Gained at least one subscriber today.
this looks amazing
Jakub is definitley a Lexus boyyy AYEEEEEEEE
"Some fun was had."
Should be the new motto of Lexus. Basically meh, but fun is possible.
Such a meh car for meh people.
@@biglee13m This car is for someone who wants something bullet proof for the next 10 years.
LMFAO!
@@biglee13m people who want something a little bit sporty but luxurious exist. Tons of lawyers I could see enjoying something like that as a daily
well then get ready for the IS 500 with a 500hp V8. how’s that for fun
Love your car camouflage.
the music choice in the beginning was exquisite
This car beats a stinger. It’s more reliable, more respected, and holds its value a lot better.
It took a while but they finally made their giant spiky grille design language look good.
Love the side profile on this 2021 model. The updated looks are great.
That sounds good 👌
Oh my heart, with the techno vibes
I can’t wait to pick one of these up in 5-6 years 🙂
The exhaust sounds great!
ah yes, coffee and thestraightpipes. good morning☀️
I own the rear wheel version of this car and it is absolutely fun to drive.
Thank you for adding kW for everyone outside of US
That rear taillight light bar is so sexy! Love how they added that.
Hey Dylan, if you like Lexus reviews I've made a few of them including the IS. If you're interested to watch let me know what you think :)
oh' man~!! you guys already added extra quarter mil. Soon we will be celebrating 2mil! ;)
Hell yeah Stinger still getting mentions despite being a couple of years old! Love it
Because it's cheaper, less about show-off and way faster
@My Pets I like the front look of the Stinger. The rear makes it look narrow and tall, and that ruins the low and ride appearance that the front has
@My Pets or genesis g70
@@player1GR yea what cheaper because they depreciate like a laptop 😅
@@player1GR what's less show off about a stinger ? The ugly ghetto Kia badge ? Lmao
Stayed for the Stinger GTS content.
Nice to see the launch at the beginning of the video again guys :P
Originally wanted the caviar exterior but falling in love with the cloudburst grey
Thanks for providing KW for power figures, especially for us Aussies down under!
So Ik Lexus gets lotta hate in general, but I own a 2021 IS and I’m pretty satisfied. It’s certainly not for everyone, but the aesthetic design is pure art when contrasted with other rivals within the price bracket, Lexus financial systems are heavily assessable to internationals such as myself in Canada and mechanical build quality needs no introduction. Additionally, the fit and finishes are exceptional (given the bracket it’s in) and the sport seats are some of the best in the business. Performance on the objective metrics is a sore spot and fuel economy isn’t the best when compared to turbo 4’s but tbh very very few people buy an entry level everyday luxury sedan for performance driving on track in mind.
There’s a great sense of occasion and everyday driving experience here for those willing to sacrifice some fun factor for aesthetics, build quality, seats, reliability and sound (sounds better than any turbo 4 on market especially if aftermarket exhaust it, you’d be surprised).
i like how serious you guys get with satellite radio. lol
You guys make me laugh. In the best way. With your quirks and canadian features, i.e. mannerisms and way of speaking. Always stay friends, please!
Friendly from Hamilton.
Lol Jacob's slowly sinking smile as he realized how dull the 0-60 run was is pretty telling.
LOL he couldn't hold it that long...
I mean 5.5 isn’t that bad
@@insayn7995 it is bad when my 06 is350 does it under 5 seconds
@@350Carmine 06 350 do not do under 4 seconds lmao more like mid 5s, cringe ricer
@@VaunShiz Actually the 06-08 are the fastest IS 350 that Lexus has made because of there aggressive gearing, also the newer ones come with a bad factory tune that really dimensions the performance. How would you know?? Do you have an IS? I did 0-60 at 5.0sec flat with a passenger in the car. Don’t act all ballsy until you know what your talking about
I’ve never been happier to be so early on a UA-cam video
Can’t wait for the is500 review
Had that cruise control in my 92 cruise control and every other Toyota Lexus I have had love it
Give Lexus credit for keeping this engine when everyone else has fallen victim to the turbo trend
Mercades is about to go amg I4 hybrid. You got that right man.
Except this engine isn’t great, Mercedes turbo fours are actually quite good
@@andrewm6716 yeah so is there biturbo V8s. I'm used to the amg V8s.
@@andrewm6716
I think this engine is great however it would also benefit from forced induction (more power and torque especially)
@@CrazyWeeMonkey true
Hey guys, just a heads up that if you want to bang off the rev limiter with the IS you have to hold the traction control button down to shut it off and that shuts off the auto shift when you're in shift mode. Awesome channel by the way!!
Man seeing these in person they literally look like spaceships, especially in the iridium silver colour way really stands out in traffic 👌
The refresh made me fall in love with this car😩...want one so bad
I love the way the intake sounded in the previous model, in fact, i like the way these 3.5l v6 engines sound.
I dont think the issue would be the powertrain, it's just the way you design the rest of the car around it.
This car would be absolutely brilliant with a manual 6 or 7 speed, rwd and a torsen diff.
Simple Toyota V6, Lexus shine and comfort, and a GT86 sense of humor. That would have been awesome.
2022 Fsport RWD , no manual and has torsion slip differential, summer on BBS wheels and adaptive suspension.. I had initial guilt trading in 540i 2018 G30 for this car , not anymore . It’s a better daily driver , nimble handling, excellent insulation, fit and finish . 1800w Mark Levison makes the HKs in bmw sound like cheap speakers. Only thing I miss is the low rpm turbo punch from b58 and zf transmission. Everything else this is a better car with tank reliability . I have grown up to do rage racing from signal to signal . For folks complaining about the Lexus infotainment just use the voice assistant, if you know what you are saying it covers everything you ever need from music selection , source, messages , climate control and cloud based poi navigation. It works better than bmw voice assistant or use apple car play and use Siri . I actually stopped using apple car play because Lexus system works just fine for day to day
Last time I was this early my mom had to get a C-Section
Damn that intro 🔥
They saved the drifting for the IS 500. I’m looking forward to your video of that one! Please!!!
can wait for the IS 500 F Sport 🤩
Hopefully it’s only $70k fully loaded. A Corvette C7 Z06 is my next car if it isn’t the V8 IS. I can get a 650HP 2016 Corvette for $60k (used) lol.
Awesome review and love the comedy like style
I can tell this was filmed a while ago cause of the shit ton of snow rn
I want this as my next car own an 07 250 totally luv the look of this 😍
I own a Toy-O-ta Rav4 Hybrid and it looks like the same cheesy backup camera. Nice looking ride! Thanks for the review.
Yuri, "I was in eco even". If you're old enough to remember Snaglepuss, you'll get it - even.
heavens to murgatroyd- this man is as old as me...older-even
I'm very skeptical of their reason for switching to lug bolts. I think it's more likely a cost-cutting measure to reduce the total part count during the production phase. Honestly, lug bolts are a pain in the ass if you're used to studs with lug nuts, especially when it comes to servicing. If an overzealous mechanic overtightens and damages your lug bolts, you'll likely need your whole hub replaced instead of a $8 stud.
I've done stud conversions on every BMW I've owned, lug bolts suck.
Excited for Lexus F news!
Good one! You should also do video on Mercedes GLB
This reminds me of the 2014. I remember a few years back I could have got a 2014 IS350 fsport for 18k. Kind of wish I had
What has our world come to? We can't get carplay in 2 clicks anymore 😆
looking straight on the rear end is a little weird imo, but my GOD that front quarter view is GORGEOUS.
I can’t wait for the IS500 review
My father has a rare red 2007 Lexus IS250. It was the first car he ever brought and still owns it to this day and I feel like he will never sell it
I found an 07 is250 with 40k miles on it a few years back. Just turning over 70k on it now. Solid car.
Test drove this thing when it first came out and even then it wasn't top of the board, can't imagine now..
YES! Finally! Been waiting on this review since November, 2020! I actually ended up getting the Kia K5 GT-Line AWD over this though, because there were no IS350 lease deals in my area (and still aren't)
Better get rid of it before it hits 100,000k!! Korean cars are decent but they aint no honda or toyota!!
@@esmeldycompres2041 It's on a lease. My next car will most likely be this IS 350 or maybe a GT K5 or Sonata N-Line, if they make it AWD. The Camry's engine is stinky, my fiancee has a 2019 Rav 4 and it's so slow off the line (same engine), and the Civic/Accord don't have and never will have AWD cause Honda is lackin'. I upgraded from a 2012 Civic
@@esmeldycompres2041 Chill Scotty chill...not everything is as reliable as a 94 Celica, not even a Lexus lol
Thank you for the metric power and torque figures! Glad you've finally added them.
straightpipes im back to say hello.
go play your block game stinky
They don’t care
@@zykarionng6633 eh, what’s wrong with respecting other communities?
Yuri, not being like messed up but I highly doubt people care about a couple seconds just to swipe and click to car play... how about being thankful the car has it and has it on a widescreen..
Love the lines. I hope they bring back the 4 red circle lights, like with the skyline or old corvettes
This refresh is handsome, right up there with the 2021 G70
The RWD version is SO much better. The 8 speed wakes this car up a lot and the dynamics are sharper.
My neighbor has one and I was so surprised how small it looks. Might as well be a two door sedan.
I had a 2014 IS350 F sport and once I had a baby it had to go. Back seat is non existent.
Those compact sedans are basically 4 door coupe's, back seats are for extra storage.
People who grew up in north america have a strange view of car sizes compared to the rest of the entire world. The current IS is sized at what was considered a 5 series a couple of generation ago. I'm 6ft tall and can sit in the back of one with reasonable comfort. I grew up in the back of a smaller E46 3 series and never had a issue. In the EU a Vauxhall corsa/ford fiesta is considered a family car, and you people are getting new cars because the back of a IS is not big enough XD.
The next generation I hope is going back to a Inline-Six/rwd layout. Although it's speculation supposedly that Toyota and Mazda are working on a platform with that layout. The orginal IS 300 had a 2JZ-GE Inline-Six and Toyota-Lexus should never have stopped manufacturing the I6. It will be nice to see what the all new model brings. Great review as always 👏
I’d like to see you guys rip in the snow we we were just dumped on with here in south western ON. I bet all the “adult in the room” goes out the window and this could be truly enjoyed.
I honestly love how muscular this thing looks, I just hate the old interior and the low power,
It's a really good engine for daily driving and I would say the power is very good, you just have to wring it out compared to a turbo engine.
Needs 350-400 horsepower and have some features from higher model Lexus’s maybe hand some stuff down from the LS series
@@ted6462 it’s great from a reliability standpoint but it’s lacking almost everywhere else
300 hp from 180 from a camry in a smaller body sounds fun af
@@baronvonjo1929 it’s heavier...
i’ve read the title as a question lmao. like ‘is 350 awd?’
Love the looks of the car
Hey Jorge, if you like Lexus reviews I've made a few of them including the IS. If you're interested to watch let me know what you think :)
i like the new tail lights!
