honestly it’s what helps make it a bit timeless compared to all screens in other brands. wish they brought back no screen options completely like on my 2016 Lexus. such a shame they don’t offer it for high end models that need that analog timeless factor with Bluetooth
I love this car. It's my second IS. It's the first car I didn't get sick of and bought another. I hope they don't update it to soon. I just bought one 6 months ago. Beautiful fun reliable car. The media loves to hate on it for the reason I love it
Hands down the best looking sports sedan on the market. The scalloped rear doors to accentuate the rear stance giving it an aggressive look is 👌🏽. The interior may be old but it works so well. Analog controls for the win!
Yes indeed , I picked up my 2024 ES250 Luxury package and and it's awesome. Great interior and a smoth ride. This car has lots of style and better equipped than some of their competition with fake wood and fake carbon fiber and so on. Remember, reliability is a strong suit for any Lexus and the resale value no one close ti a Lexus brand 🥃🥃🥃
Agreed. I had a 2014 350 fsport. This new car is barely different. Extremely boring. Reliable, but boring. Not exhilarating to drive either. Beautiful car but too boring and out dated and out performed by its competitors.
They could add power folding mirrors, a wireless charger, wireless Android Auto and Apple Car Play. Interior design, they could probably do some tweaks, but definitely shouldn't get rid of the buttons. But the engine...and the exterior...no way. It's perfect, and I could see a model like this in the showrooms even 20 years from now.
I love my 2021 IS350 F sport AWD. Pearl white and black matte accent. People cry so much about how it looks but man, I love it! it drives better than most 70k cars that aren’t a Lexus. Steering is just superior. Engine roars.
I bought a 2024 IS 350 F Sport-3 and a 2025 NX 350 this year. I FAR prefer the infotainment in the IS. The IS is super fun to drive, the NX is a really nice utility vehicle to have with better space for passengers and easier access for loading groceries.
2024 IS 350 F-Sport owner here. Caviar with red interior, blacked out mirror and window bezels. Dearly loved my 2007 IS 350 prior - obsidian with tan interior.
I have the Caviar/red in my GS and love it, now I'm getting the itch for the same color combo in the IS F Sport but still keep the GS. Sharpest small sedan on the road.
I have a 2016 since new. Previous cars were continental makes. ^foot 2" tall, and a senior, [octaganerian] Getting in and out is my only proble. Love it
Most countries in the world requires front number plates for identification and ANPR automatic number plate recognition for compliance purposes and policing and safety to public due to stealing and theft
The exterior design is just perfection. Lexus killed it. They just need to update the infotainment and the interior a bit. It still works but in 2024 not even having wireless CarPlay is criminal. I hope they don’t rid of the NA V6. That’s what makes this car special and without it it’s no longer attractive to most. What a perfect car especially in this latest iteration.
Very gorgeous vehicle. It’s a masterpiece by Lexus. I’m a big fan of the legendary LFA and like the RC 350 / F. I’m particularly into to the is500 but I can’t afford a Lexus at this time. Maybe I could buy a certified pre owned Lexus but it’s always better to own a new one untouched by other people including new car smell. With inflation at a high, it will be harder to attain a vehicle like is500 let alone the is350. That’s a nice color and interior looks like a tuxedo on wheels and super reliable 🤩.. one day I hope to own a couple Lexus vehicles!
That screen is anything BUT "smack dab in the middle". That's one of the things keeping me from buying this car. The interior + exterior color combo is exactly what I'd want, but were those stains in those white seats...disappointing? 😳 The exterior is forever a 10/10.
Does it drive like a 2016-20 GS350 F Sport? minus the size and weight. I almost traded my Ultra White 2018 RWD for this, however I loved the Flaxen cabin/interior of my GS way too much.
It’s the same motor, horsepower and Tq. It’s faster because it’s lighter than the GS. I had a 2018 GS and both felt the same driving wise, just the GS felt bigger of course.
I have a 2021 350 IS F-Sport got it Dec 2020 first came out ❤ it ! I have Black with the same white interior ( it’s called something else) sharp looking car ! I wonder what changes they will make..
By any chance do you know any camber kit were installed? If yes, do you know what brand? I have the same incognito color with red interior, but it is a 2024. I bought the same springs and currently looking for camber kit (rear and front).
Love the car. Have a 2021. I just wish it had memory seats, which I think they recently added and a place to hold and charge my phone. Besides that, maybe a little more acceleration or hp. Love it though!
When are they doing a redesign of the is350 f sport? after 2025? my god they better not get rid of this car after i buy my 2025 tacoma and 2025 4runner this was my next thing to buy as a car 2025- is350 fsport
Does it have same key fob that they’ve been using last 10 years on the IS? We have UX in our family and I like the new key fob design from Lexus but If the is 350 have old ugly outdated key fob then it’s a deal breaker personally
When he said the interior is a timeless design and doesn’t have a bunch of stuff that will go out of date, all I heard was “Boring interior with no features” lol
haha. i thought the people in the red car isn't related to your channel, just some random dudes making a video of you, just realized they're the camera crew hahaha
As soon as it gets a new interior, I’ll buy it. Lexus has great interiors but I want new styling. I don’t want a 10 year old interior when the other cars Lexus sells have much better interiors.
The real reason I’d want the refresh model is because the other one didn’t have apple car play or anything if it did I’d just get a nice low mileage used one lol
@@PerformanceLexusNiagara My dad had an LS and it drove like a rocket. I was surprised how fast it was. Fantastic car. (and I LOVE my IS350, mostly it's compact size)
I just wished The Lexus 500 was 350 F sport replacement with AWD . I hate those black wheels . It makes the car looks cheaper and ugly . I love the original ones first came out on Lexus 350 F Sport ! That’s just my opinion ..
Same here. Yeah, definitely wish it was a bit larger. I would have bought the GS if it hadn't been discontinued so I went with the 2024 IS350. I drove the ES, which is nice, but boring after driving the IS.
Beautiful car, but that colour…..I call it undercoat grey. It’s increasingly popular here in the UK. I know things like this are individual preference, but I mean who can possibly like this?
The insurance on these or any Lexus is the real killer, but best to ask your insurance provider before going to the showroom if you think that;s an issue. It was for me so I went Acura, but I still prefer the Lexus.
Car seems to be very outdated. I drove this and a BMW M340i. I went with the BMW M340i instead. The interior and exterior is so much better. Please dont start argument with the reliability, I have full warranty on my vehicle and 2 years free oil change.
I have a 2021 IS350. I love it! Interior not too crazy, it’s simple. Very reliable car.
payment?
Less is more for this car IMO plus you won't constantly be in the shop like the BMW,Audi... bro's.
I had the same. Wish they made it atleast 400 horsepower for the price point.
@@onetwo5569this car should do under 5s to 60. Transmission isn’t fun like a zf or DCT. It really hurts the cars performance. Bulletproof af tho…
@@onetwo5569I wish the car had a b58
Even though the interior and infotainment isn't as modern as the other models I like it more. It's analog, reliable, and fun.
How many times you touch infotainment when driving?
@@navarrouk3487exactly. Hardly ever. The engine matters so much more.

@ That’s probably the poorest comparison I have ever heard. 😅🫣
Best was the GS F V8 hot rod sedan. Bring back the GS Lexus!!!!
I just bought this car a couple of months ago, still watching videos on it. Lol
Finally a proper canadian review. I love throttle house and straightpipes, however, they just focus on the highest level packages.
I bought my 2024 350 F Sport in Iridium and I love it! I personally don't need alot of technology so it's perfect for me.

As a Lexus IS owner , Lexus really needs to update the IS in so many ways
Agreed. I had a 2014 350 fsport. This new car is barely different. Extremely boring. Reliable, but boring. Not exhilarating to drive either. Beautiful car but too boring and out dated and out performed by its competitors.
Primarily the interior dash and infotainment. The rest of the line up has been updated, except for the RC I think

The fsports bucket seats and height of the car does make it kinda hard.

they really need to uptune the car thoo its slow for its price range like seriosuly
Totally agree
A car that sells itself.
They better keep this in the line up forever
I can’t believe it still doesn’t have led turn signals, my 16 GS f sport had that
Disappointed about that but it’s an easy fix.
@@JJS432 how should i fix it?
@@akshatdev3596 They sell amber LED bulbs with resistors. $40-$50 for the pair.

Nice review 👍
I have a '23 Infrared IS 350
Bought it from Lexus on the Park in Toronto
Great car!
I love my 22 IS350. Great video. Ask him which phone mount that is for the iphone please.

Nothing drives like a GS except the GS. Best sedan ever made by Lexus. My GS F V 8 is glorious.👍
@Alle Keep your GS ! Best Lexus sedan ever.Flaxen interior is gorgeous. I had it in my 2013 GS. I now have a GS F V8 red interior.
Ha ha the GT R wants to race you. You are supposed to be flooring it but you keep getting passed! LOL fail.👎
Nice exterior ❤
It letdown by old interior 😪
C class and 3 series are by far premium and upmarket 👌

Ouff thats a great spec you have!! We will have to wait and see!
I made a big mistake. I trade my 2016 IS 350 for a 2024 XSE Highlander. I should have get the 2025 IS350 🥹 I still love IS.
Both of them would have been perfect
Waiting on the '26 ES350. This IS looks good, though.
Why does some have the digital speedometer and I see some that doesn’t?
By any chance do you know any camber kit were installed? If yes, do you know what brand?

Warranty voids with aftermarket parts?

Hey Dustin, can you do a video about the lexus ES300 President line? I wonder if the North American market has those
Beautiful car inside and out with a design that will stand the test of time. 👍
looks good but god why the touchpad still there. the nx,rx and lx all have much nicer infotainment systems
Why do they just refuse to update the interior....
