If I get an IS 350 is not for the performance, but reliability compared to the other cars of the same category. If I wanted performance, I would get a BMW or a Mercedes.
The lexus IS SERIES is simply stylish,comfortable with a very reliable and durable motor. It best fit average height people, cramped for person above 5’ 11”. Handles quite welll, not a track- car but sporty. It suits almost every one, worth owning
Lexus is known for its reputation of reliability, comfort, and handling is way better. Plus holds a better resale value than other makes. You get what you pay. Ijs
The key distance is not ridiculous, I think it is good because of security reasons. There must be some maximum distance at which can the rolling code get acknowledged and accepted because if the distance would be greater you would be much more vulnerable to attacks. But that is my opinion. Can anybody tell me if I am right ? The car looks amazing BTW.
Yes you are definitely right. My opinion on this has changed over time. I was so used to my cars having long distances with the key fobs that it annoyed me but after seeing the new way criminals are stealing cars. I now appreciate it
I bought the same car like a year ago. Threw a Borla on it and its deff worth the money. Like you said, 311 hp more than adequate for an everyday car,. Deff take a N/A 3.5 over German turbos.
You don't want a Key Fob with a long range. This makes it easy for car thieves to intercept the signal and/or clone the frequency so they can easily steal your vehicle..... This isn't a Kia sport. ✌🏾✌🏾
@marinedevildawg if u don’t mind me askin what was ur out the door price for ur IS 350 with those features??? I’m looking to get one with the mark Levison speaker as well and I want to get an idea of the out the door price
Good review. The IS 350 is a nice car. If you are looking to buy used/CPO, you should understand the options you want, and what the particular car you are looking at has. Ask your sales rep for the window sticker. It lists the options, DO NOT trust what car websites say the car has.
Bro, you are ridiculous for caring so much about the distance your key fob has reception.. Seriously, if someone gets in your car and manages to drive off, bust out your lexus app and turn off the car, simple, plus all you need is your key in your pocket and you can set the car to automatically unlock the driver door and holding the indent will uplock or lock all doors. LOL EVEN IF YOUR KEY AND IT'S IN THE CAR YOU CAN STILL TURN IT OFF FROM THE APP! Also, really spend some time and get to know your car, optional features like active exhaust, or standard auto start from your phone, valet/guest/friend mode where you can restrict acceleration, and top speed to 10mph. Bro, spend the time to really get to know your car. You had good positives, but you are way off on the negatives.
You have some good points there but we’re all entitled to our own opinion. I wouldn’t have a problem with the app if they didn’t make you have to pay a subscription to use it after the 3 years of owning the car. I bought mine new so I don’t know if you also get 3 years if you buy it used
You got the base model IS350 F-Sport. Missing dynamic handling package. Triple beam LED’s & also you have the 8inch screen also missing the panoramic view monitor. ( needed for a low car ) and missing the mark Levinson that actually is worth the upgrade
Dynamic handling package isn't worth it. I usually only see 500s with it. Mark Levinson is definitely worth it, but stock sounds good too. My RX has ML but my IS has everything except ML and DHP.
@@axiseast8409 what makes a proper f car is more power and just bs appearance package. 270 whp for almost $60k is a joke. The FL5 will smoke this thing in a dust
Loved the video. I bought a 2023 Maxima SR and love it but wondered about the IS 350. Your video hit all the things that made me realize I did the right thing for me when you talked about interior size and tires size. My Maxima does not have the auto start/stop either and glad it doesn’t because I hate it and it is hard on starters. Maxima is also 300 horsepower and I agree that is plenty. Love your vehicle and thanks for video you did it right. I just subscribed and liked.
I just went from a 2017 Maxima to a 2020 IS350 F sport RWD and must say it is a great change. IS much smaller headroom and cabin feel than the maxima of course but a little fun 4 dr
It's supposed to be short range, for example if your car is in your garage and the key fob has over 10ft range, the thief won't even need your key to steal your car. Idk what heck is wrong with people wanting longer range capable fobs. BTW you're phone is also a key for and can stop the engine at any time. Seriously, read the manual 😂
At double the distance, place the remote under your chin. Then press the remote button. Works for me on my Mazda 6. Came across that tip about 10 yrs ago.
Just got word that the 2024 IS 350 is going to have a modern upgraded infotainment system like the 2023 ES (Wireless Apple Carplay so no more touchpad) along with a blackline package similar to the 3 series shadowline package that includes blacked out trim/molding (Maybe 19inch BBS Wheels). With NAV you get a 10 inch screen and w/o NAV you get 8 inch. Best believe I'm placing an order in November.
U r the first person who speaks on key problem same to my car 2023 model is and also don't have front sensor one thing more lexux gave option of navigation in screen and always be therebut it's not working even company i says it's like this use yous phone to navigation
Mark levinson and the navigation package with the 10inch screen is definitely a must have for a luxury car that's over 45k as the regular standard 8 inches is pretty unwhelming for a luxury car and also the 8 inch screen is pretty bad looking with low resolution. You can definitely tell night a day difference with the 10 inch screen vs the 8 inches with the color and resolution. No hate to your car brother, clean ass whip.... just not the package option I would get.
Same exact car here, color and everything but 2021. The key on mine sucks too even after swapping out the battery. I suspect it's because they want you to rely on the app subscription. Also my 1 regret was not putting PPF on the front right away. It eats up salt and rocks.
That’s interesting bc I think after 3 years, you actually have to start paying a subscription for the app. You won’t even be able to use the remote start without paying for it. I think that’s BS. I probably should’ve included that in the list of negatives
People who say this isnt fast are the ones who do a second gear pull on the highway and dont take this on the back streets and take it to the limit because they cant everyone is a race car driver😂
many American cars, many BMWs and Mercedes begin to have problems as quickly as 7-8 thousand miles and their resale value is well below what Lexus is, my brother has a 2006 IS350 with 214 thousand miles without doing it. nothing to its engine and it still runs, and hard. Leather doesn't last long, it cracks over time, Lexus synthetic fabric seats last forever.
I’m 6’1 do you think I would feel cramped in this car. I’m debating between this and the Es. I wanted the Gs bc of the size and rwd but it’s unfortunately outdated
You would fit just fine in the front seat but if you had to sit in the back, you’ll probably hate it. It’s tight back there. The ES definitely has more space in the rear and the car is more luxurious. The IS350 has more sporty features than luxury. And the IS is lower to the ground and hard to get out of. But when I drove the ES, I got out with no problem. So if you want to be comfortable, the ES is the way to go
I've commented on the key fob as well Lexus needs to overhaul theirs & include remote starting button & not that 3 hold crap & wtf would they make it turn off once you get near it or is it once you go to open the door I mean someone said it's a safety feature but it's dumb af
@@jareddelarosa9557 try D3 performance tune you’ll have to put you’re vin number in it so they can read it and see what it need the be changed when I was stock my is350 only topped out 131 mph now I can get pass that it goes up to 161 mph and more
Hey bro heres a trick to unlock from far away. I learned it at a car job at toyota, Soo... get the fob and place it under your chin and then hit unlock, It should be able to extend the distance naturally . Lmk if it works. - Mike
In my past cars I put speakers in the trunk & I plan to do the same in my 350 but the Mark Levinson speakers are probably the best factory speakers I've had you hear the bass but you're not going to feel the bass
Yea it sucks but it seems that they’re just trying to get us to use the app more often and then get us to start paying for it when the free trial runs out. These car manufacturers are coming up with more sneaky ways to squeeze more money out of us. Before all of this subscription BS, you could just buy a car and enjoy the features that came with it, now there are some new cars that actually have features turn off if you don’t pay a subscription to use it. I think it was Jaguar that shut off your car’s ability to remote start if you didn’t pay the yearly subscription. That’s ridiculous
Yeah the headlights on the previous version was ugly as hell lol 😆. They definitely improved the look, I thought it was just a 24 thing. But I see your 22 model has the same look, nice.
I had a lexus IS once and that was enough I love the car but that thing inside is small bro and I’m only 5’9 smh plus that 3.5L needs to retired like wtf 😂
if you take care of the oil ensure it’s synthetic i have the new version with zero problems…..it isn’t as low as this guy keeps saying one would think he’s talking about a corvette…..the is 350 fsport is an excellent car….it is a toyota which means it’s a reliable vehicle
Yes, they are. F sport is now the base of the car . You have the real fsport With more features and packages, then the fsport model which is the basic but has fsport badges.
They talk about performance and performance. If she was with me, I would put a supercharger on her from RR Racing, which is specialized in modifying Lexus, and we will see who the performance is 😅😅😂 Because in its time it will become a fair comparison of a turbocharged engine with a turbocharged engine for reliability more
I was looking at a 2024 is 350 f sport. When I test drove it, I felt like there was a lag in acceleration at times. Anyone else experience something similar?
Throttle lag is very common among Toyoytas. I know that there’s pedal modules to help compensate for it, though. It allows you to control both throttle response and throttle sensitivity.
I’m sure lots of people do power mods on these but I wouldn’t want to void the warranty. And less than 30k would be difficult unless you buy the previous generation or one that’s been in an accident
Is350 is nothing but a pretty exterior shell and f sport is just a gimmicky appearance package. Get G70 3.3T or Stinger GT and you'll get way more for your money. Such as more room, way more power, brembos all around, bigger sun roof, I mean list goes on and on
Those cars are constantly getting recalls for fuel pumps and oil leaks. The Korean car brands are always cutting corners. If I wanna actually make it to my destination and not have a thousand rattles in the cabin after 50k miles, I'll take the Lexus.
@@i.d.6492 no seriously. I had a q50 and went to an es350. it's so comfy but still gets up when I need it to. However, I want something sportier so here I am
You’re right. BMWs drive incredible but they’re just no reliable. The Maintanance is too expensive and too many things break overtime. That’s why I went with a Lexus, it’s for the Toyota reliability
Liked and subscribed. On the 27th of September, barely 16 days ago, I brought home an IS-350 F-Sport RWD. My wife and I consider it a good compromise between her '05 ES-330, and my 2013 MK6 Golf-R. Her car, while very comfy for long highway trips, lacks the cut-and-thrust of my R (which has a Stage 2+ tune, btw). On the other hand my car doesn't "sit well" with her for similarly long trips. This is especially true, in the comparative sense, when we take either car to the back roads of America in our travels. Plus, she doesn't drive a manual, which the mk6 (in the 2 years it was sold here) only came with a 6-speed manual. We came to select the '350 as a compromise mainly for reasons of ride comfort, and the 8-speed auto-transmission. This suited her priorities perfectly, as her ES was beginning to feel too large for her, and not as nimble as she grew to desire in a car. For me, the technical aspects of the car appealed to me enough to where I thought I could be satisfied with the idea of "driving a slow car fast". Also I thought I could learn to love driving this slow car fast on winding back roads: double wishbone front suspension, Torsen rear diff, dual injection of fuel (port and direct), very direct steering. Agile, and mobile, so to speak. My Golf-R leaves the '350 in the straight-line dust. But if the straight is short enough, a curvy road is where the Lexus has a chance to acquit itself very well, I think ( I hope). An added benefit is the larger fuel tank, and the solid reliability (if the wife's '330 is any indication). But the R has been very solid too. For now, I'm keeping the R, as I live in SW-Ohio, and may need it's 4-motion AWD in the unkindest winter-weather events where even her '330 might be challenged. Even though I grew up driving rear-wheel cars in the snow, why bother now ig I have better means of getting about? But I also wanted to return to a n RWD solution as part of my compromise. I'd considered an Alfa Giulia because it's a very good handling car, and it's nearly .5 second quicker to 60 than the '350. I think I give the latter the edge in steering. And the Lexus can be serviced at any Toyota dealership (one at every exit ramp), while the Giulia doesn't have that reassuring cross-country convenience. No BMW (not volunteering as a new-tech guinea pig). No Mercedes, basically for the same reason. Audi? nothing in the lineup moves me except the new RS3 ($$$$...cha-ching!!). That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. Wish me luck. back atcha!
@alomar-12 I loved driving the Giulia. But for similar money, the 350 F-SPORT offers the peace of mind I'm looking for (when taking roads less traveled). I like my choice just fine. 👍

if you take care of the oil ensure it’s synthetic i have the new version with zero problems…..it isn’t as low as this guy keeps saying one would think he’s talking about a corvette…..the is 350 fsport is an excellent car….it is a toyota which means it’s a reliable vehicle
U got 5% tint all around?
No it’s 15% but it was cloudy outside so it looked darker
Can you talk about how much you paid? How much down you put? And the insurance that would’ve been a more productive vid thx tho looking for a F sport.
$43K
fake engine noises is so cringe lol. At that point just give me a tesla
Very true, at least this car has the option to turn it off.
sound that's piped in is different from fake. and if you don't like it, you can disable it. two important notes.
You can turn it down and still hear the engine.
@@rocdaneweracap Hey mate! If you love Lexus reviews I have plenty on the IS350 and others. Feel free to check it out 😄
Yeah I had to figure out how to get out of mine
Actually not all are f sports.
The 2021+ IS 350s are all F Sports, I don’t think the previous generation is like that but, that was a change that they made when they did the refresh
Not true. 2021s are not all fsports
If you look up, “Are all 2021 IS 350’s F Sports” then it’ll tell you that they are. That was a new change that they made for the 2021+ models
Maybe you guys are talking about the IS 300’s.
@@TheeAdamG you’re right my bad bro. It was the 300 I was thinking of
He ssid all is 350s are f sport?
Yes, they are. F sport is now the base of the car . You have the real fsport With more features and packages, then the fsport model which is the basic but has fsport badges.
Hard to take the recommendations seriously with Pikachu and Winnie the Pooh in the background.
Don’t forget about Baby Luigi
@@TheeAdamG Nice 🤭
They talk about performance and performance. If she was with me, I would put a supercharger on her from RR Racing, which is specialized in modifying Lexus, and we will see who the performance is 😅😅😂 Because in its time it will become a fair comparison of a turbocharged engine with a turbocharged engine for reliability more
I wish lexus offered a plug in hybrid lexus is.
is this the lexus is350 Fsport design or regular fsport?
That’s just the regular one
How is the sound system on it? Like the bass and over all sound of it
the fully loaded package one got some good sound system. i like it
Which is that one,?
@@donnate4998 look for one with the Mark Levinson upgraded sound system. You won't be disappointed
@@rubbertoe. so difficult to find one with this package!!
You rock chit
I was looking at a 2024 is 350 f sport. When I test drove it, I felt like there was a lag in acceleration at times. Anyone else experience something similar?
Throttle lag is very common among Toyoytas. I know that there’s pedal modules to help compensate for it, though. It allows you to control both throttle response and throttle sensitivity.
@@timtran1077 thank you for that. I didn’t know this was common.
Cockpit looks cramped
can you mod it to make it faster? Also could i buy one for less than 30k?
I’m sure lots of people do power mods on these but I wouldn’t want to void the warranty. And less than 30k would be difficult unless you buy the previous generation or one that’s been in an accident
22 is 350 fsport awd is 40k+
Yes u can make it faster
Is350 is nothing but a pretty exterior shell and f sport is just a gimmicky appearance package. Get G70 3.3T or Stinger GT and you'll get way more for your money. Such as more room, way more power, brembos all around, bigger sun roof, I mean list goes on and on
G70🤣
@@mr.a9352 you've clearly never driven one🫵🤡
Those cars are constantly getting recalls for fuel pumps and oil leaks. The Korean car brands are always cutting corners. If I wanna actually make it to my destination and not have a thousand rattles in the cabin after 50k miles, I'll take the Lexus.
@@i.d.6492 no seriously. I had a q50 and went to an es350. it's so comfy but still gets up when I need it to. However, I want something sportier so here I am
@@mr.a9352 you've clearly haven't driven one 🤡🫵
I like the IS, but it just doesn't have the feel of a 3 series BMW.
You’re right. BMWs drive incredible but they’re just no reliable. The Maintanance is too expensive and too many things break overtime. That’s why I went with a Lexus, it’s for the Toyota reliability
It doesn’t have the repair bills either

Whaaa? They have fake engines noises thru the speakers? 🔊
no, it's a ported tube capturing the induction(intake) noise, not a speaker/fake noise, it's just not exhaust/scharger/turbo
You can turn that off and it still sounds good
Problem for me is that it kind of looks like a Camry which I’m not a fan of
looks completely different from a camry ...
The ES350 looks very similar to the Camry. The IS, not so much.
Yeah i don’t see how it compares. Saw an XSE the other day and it looks nothing like the new IS.
I love how it looks from the front. It’s more so the back of the IS that reminds me of a Camry.
Fake leather.
Plastic.
High quality car that will last well past 200k miles. Everybody knows that! Stop being stupid!
You must be retarded
All I see 250k+ miles without problems 😂

Liked and subscribed. On the 27th of September, barely 16 days ago, I brought home an IS-350 F-Sport RWD. My wife and I consider it a good compromise between her '05 ES-330, and my 2013 MK6 Golf-R. Her car, while very comfy for long highway trips, lacks the cut-and-thrust of my R (which has a Stage 2+ tune, btw). On the other hand my car doesn't "sit well" with her for similarly long trips. This is especially true, in the comparative sense, when we take either car to the back roads of America in our travels. Plus, she doesn't drive a manual, which the mk6 (in the 2 years it was sold here) only came with a 6-speed manual. We came to select the '350 as a compromise mainly for reasons of ride comfort, and the 8-speed auto-transmission. This suited her priorities perfectly, as her ES was beginning to feel too large for her, and not as nimble as she grew to desire in a car. For me, the technical aspects of the car appealed to me enough to where I thought I could be satisfied with the idea of "driving a slow car fast". Also I thought I could learn to love driving this slow car fast on winding back roads: double wishbone front suspension, Torsen rear diff, dual injection of fuel (port and direct), very direct steering. Agile, and mobile, so to speak. My Golf-R leaves the '350 in the straight-line dust. But if the straight is short enough, a curvy road is where the Lexus has a chance to acquit itself very well, I think ( I hope). An added benefit is the larger fuel tank, and the solid reliability (if the wife's '330 is any indication). But the R has been very solid too.
For now, I'm keeping the R, as I live in SW-Ohio, and may need it's 4-motion AWD in the unkindest winter-weather events where even her '330 might be challenged. Even though I grew up driving rear-wheel cars in the snow, why bother now ig I have better means of getting about? But I also wanted to return to a n RWD solution as part of my compromise. I'd considered an Alfa Giulia because it's a very good handling car, and it's nearly .5 second quicker to 60 than the '350. I think I give the latter the edge in steering. And the Lexus can be serviced at any Toyota dealership (one at every exit ramp), while the Giulia doesn't have that reassuring cross-country convenience. No BMW (not volunteering as a new-tech guinea pig). No Mercedes, basically for the same reason. Audi? nothing in the lineup moves me except the new RS3 ($$$$...cha-ching!!).
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. Wish me luck. back atcha!
You definitely sound like you know what you want. Best of luck!
Alfa Giulia is junk, fact their entire lineup is full of costly engine / tranny flaws. Stay away from that brand.
@alomar-12 I loved driving the Giulia. But for similar money, the 350 F-SPORT offers the peace of mind I'm looking for (when taking roads less traveled). I like my choice just fine. 👍
Nice review. Thanks!
How do you modify the muffler?
I bought a muffler delete and replaced my stock axle back with that. It’s simple a bolt-on for this car. There’s no cutting or welding involved.
@@TheeAdamGwhere’d you get the muffler deletehomie?
