2007 Lexus IS350: Regular Car Reviews 

People call this a boring car then call the new Is350 too aggressive. What do you guys want

*knock knock knock knock* "uhh oh whats that sound?" My favorite part lol

IS350 My sisters boyfriend who is a drug dealers car.

My parents had an IS. Great car for people who want to peel out past a mechanic and never have to visit one.

Official car of your late 20's, you say? Well, I'm 26 and on the market for an IS350, so I'd say you'd be correct.

The writing, humour and an amazing understanding of cars and car culture is what makes RCR my favourite channel on RU-vid. I think there's a lot of us that agree

Bruh, the is350 is a dream car for me because of reliability on top of what this car is

I think this gen of IS design is timeless. it is really good looking.

I raced one of these the other day in my XR6 mistaking it for an IS250. It was a horrible mistake, I got destroyed and for the rest of the drive home I was wondering how it was so fucking fast.

The is the most regular car review in a while.

I think the car has aged well.

The owners pants were so tight you could count the money in his pocket.

I bought a 2007 IS 250 recently, I can say confidently that it's a regular car. While I thought it (being a cheap Lexus) would make me want to install subs and blast Limp Bizkit, the faux wood panels on the interior make me feel like I should be balancing my checkbook and look into getting a Roth IRA instead.

IS300 was a good car. The redesign with the 250/350 line at the time was very striking looking. The cars definitely looked like sport sedans and turned heads. Now their looks are muted because everything "extreme sport" looks like a cheap aftermarket body kit that OEM is using on Camry's. The IS350 was a good sport coupe - a 4 door 2 seater. Eh, ok - so not so good. The 3 Series it was up against had slightly better rear seat room - but this car was for the professionals who "made it" but didn't yet have kids. Just coworkers to impress. Showing up to work in a new IS350 would have raised some eyebrows. Even today - drive around in a clean looking IS350, and it looks like you have your stuff together. A responsible adult with an adventurous side.

This car has aged so well. 10 years later and still getting compliments and very appealing to the eye. Just take care of it and it's beautiful.

I feel attacked, these are all the reasons I'm thinking of selling my WRX for an is350... I'm 29 lol

"May I take off my pants too?" What's......what's going on in that dream.

I have a 2011 IS350 AWD. Great car, 77K miles. 0 problems so far. That's why people buy Lexus.

This IS350 is deff the car you get once you grow up from rice burners, want to be an adult with a bit of luxury and still have some great performance and dependability. I bought a 2001 Honda Prelude manual and spent like 5g in after market upgrades when I was 21 in 2003. I rocked that car throughout my 20s. But once I hit 30, I grew up and wanted a good reliable fast car that was inline with a 30yr old. So, I got a used 2007 IS350 in 2010 for a great price from a dude who was upgrading to an LS 460. Basically, he didn't have room in the garage for both cars and I was offering more in cash than he would get for a trade in. I can honestly say, the IS350 is fast, reliable, and it does look good. It rides smooth and looks better than 80% of the cars on the road. The only people that have nicer rides have spent alot more. Essentially, I own my IS350 for like 11k since 2010 and it still kicks ass in performance, looks good, feels comfy (although, as this review points out, it is lacking on interior space), and makes a grown man feel like he has a chill car (as grown men should) but also with power to get up and go. The average car on the road is not better than an IS350, period, even an '07 350.

Lexus IS350: When you *don't* need a car to help you get laid.

"Uh... I have a Summit Racing magazine."

You're going to end up getting this video claimed by nintendo.

its 2023, this video has aged so so damn well, I actually just bought this car and this video has made me feel a little bit better about my purchase lmao

I own an is350 since 2006. This video talks my heart and I laughed every single joke here. Perfectly done. hahaha.

Port fuel injection was added to the 3.5 but not the 2.5. It prevents carbon buildup on the intake valves from direct injection.

350z but its automatic and more lexusy.

300 hp is really strong for a sedan. I'd drive it!!

When the Goldschlager comes out so do MY KINKS

Can the owners jeans can get any tighter!

This is a great example of a regular car because I have absolutely no opinion of it. It just exists. That's it.

I think what Prozzie was trying to say was that the writing, humour and an amazing understanding of cars and car culture is what makes RCR my favourite channel on RU-vid. I think there's a lot of us that agree.

Back when lexus still had normal radiator grill.

Did we just go from Pan's Labyrinth to Super Mario World 2? Roman, you are on some next level shit.

First 30 seconds I’m sold and I’m a subscriber love this guy .he basically told me my own life story in one minute

I have myself a 2015 IS250. Not the biggest motor, but damn does it handle, and that 4GR, it sings! Mr. R is right though, with it being a Lexus, I want to try and take good care of it, and I mean why not? I don't want to do crazy tunes or silly mods, I want to keep her as she is, and maintain her. For me this car is a symbol of my progress...plus I spend every other hour of my day driving an 18 wheeler, so it's nice to come home to something that's fun, good on gas, and is more comfy than a Volvo VNL 780.

THE ENDING MUSIC IS SIMPLY EPIC. BRAVO TO YOU ROMAN!

“See track 2 of 36 Chambers” got me to subscribe

Nintendo, Wu Tang and knock knock knock, in one review. If Doug D can get to one million subs rcr can too, keep the weirdness going guys.

I always liked the IS line. I wish it was easier to find a 6 speed manual. Good work Mr. Reg

Hot girls love these things. These and Jettas seem to be very popular cars with attractive females.

This video and the Scotty Kilmer video got this car on my radar 2 years ago. Officially bought one in full at 17. It’s now a beautiful fbo, lowered on racelands, and carbon fenders. Runs a 12.7 for just all motor V6

"Car of your mid-twenties." LOL. We'll be lucky to ride a grocery trolley out of Walmart instead of a basket full of ramen.

"Uh OH WHAT'S THAT SOUND?" I lost it bro 😂😂 hilarious

Is this Matt Farah's million mile Lexus?

Congratulations Ivan, your awesome Lexus seems like one of the top 10 stars in RCR's reivews:)

This car has been my dream since childhood. I love. Aftermarket VLand headlights makes it a looker.

2022 is right around the corner, and this car has aged like JLo.

The Mario theme at the end got me

Thanks, Roman. Now I have to go dig out the Super Nintendo...

Wow you just put that existential feel to the video that really opened my eyes a little wider. You’re video was almost too close to home with the analogy that people who buy this car have “grown up” and want a grown up car. I’m def a new sub.

Love these reviews, I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees these cars this way..

Best engine knock impression of all time.

The nth time you've mentioned 6MT V6 Accords. Please review one! Such an unknown car in the car world. Had two and loved them both.

"I want to go fast, but don't look at me" wow that is literally me

Just found your channel and it is hysterical! I just subscribed, thank you! The Escalade video was the first video of yours I watched... It's also pricesless!

"Lexus is350, the official car of your late 20s" Hi, I'm 28 and I am interested in lexus is350

I love how they say it’s 5.6 second 0-60 but it’s really under 5

The "uh oh what's that sound" had me dying lmao

That outro made me wanna break out the snes. Ahh memories! Great review as always rcr👍

This is my favorite RCR. “See track 2 of 36 chambers” lmao 😂 nice.

The 0-60 is closer to 4.9-5.0 seconds, not 5.6 Source: My own completely stock 2007 IS350

This is the official car of that blonde middle-aged mom on her phone at every stop light.

These will actually do 0-60 in 4.9 secs stock vs stock its actually faster than a 350/g35, 370z/g37

Love the video. I drove one of the newer ones from GA to IN and it was one of the easiest drives of my life. I drove the AWD model so it probably wasn't as quick as the rwd. Great car, great video, keep up the good work RCR.

It's not rwd only.

Didn't clap his shoes before getting in the Lexus of all vehicles, c'mon!!!!

Great review like always. They are quick too. Excellent!!

Nice please keep reviewing prior model year cars! I love looking at older cars

The car is fast for what it is . Came from a 250 loved that and this car is even better. Highly recommend

HAHAHAHA, you guys managed to write lyrics for Super Mario World!

I have been waiting for this for so long.

Lots of good 80's memories listening to this video. Good IS350 review as well.

My dad has one of these and it’s very fun to drive

I enjoy the whole line up of Lexus

A refreshing review, I liked the recent reviews but, this is a regular car if I have ever seen one.

Another great review and I am so glad I stayed for the song at the end! Hahahaha

When you're awake for an rcr car review

Hurr durr gas is gas in goes 87 lmao

Bloody brilliant guys great review first time viewer will definitely now be a subscriber

Yessssss I love this car and the rcr is reviewing made my day

You need to review a Geo Metro!

Sold my mx5 na and I am considering buying an used is350. I am in my late twenties. This review is too accurate

I live in Europe and own a 2006 IS220d which is a diesel version that also comes with a manual only. It's RWD, no AWD option for the diesel, and being a diesel it is a lot more sluggish. It's only around 177 bhp (when new, and now it feels a lot more like 140) but it shares the engine with a Toyota Avensis, which makes any potential engine servicing cost insanely cheap and most any mechanic around here knows how to handle this car and won't bill you into oblivion for it. I'm the second owner, my dad sold it to me when he upgraded. I grew up on this car. It been in the family for 13 years which is half my life, and boy is it just... A prvilage. You don't pay attention to the small details of it, how nice it rides, how quiet it is, how direct the steering feels, how tidily it holds corners... but then you go and drive your friends beater or your uncles or brothers car and there's just... something off with each of them. The Lexus doesn't wow me when I daily it at all. It feels kind bland and unremarkable, but then you get in it for the first time in a while after being forced to drive something else and... *then* it wows. You don't appreciate what you have until you lose it. My Lexus doesn't feel like the best car I've ever driven... but in those moments, I'm reminded that it is. It feels like home. When I remember how good it is, it puts a smile on my face. You can't pick a finger on it, but whenever I, any of my friends or family get a choice of which car to take, everybody always just silently ends up picking the Lexus. It's been a part of my life for so long I take it for granted, and I've long since stopped taking care of it, but it has a certain grace to it, like a battle scarred Vietnam veteran. It ain't pretty with the scratches on the bumper, with the misaligned panels here and there, with the broken corner light... But you sure as shit won't be able to call it ugly. Because it isn't. When you get this car to look its best, it looks damn sexy. And no matter how much I beat on it, how much I abuse it, how much I don't take care of it... It continues to carry itself with th determination. A kind of perseverance that is likely the last of its kind. New cars don't have this quality anymore. They're not timeless anymore. They're too focused on fads and popular in the moment gimmicks. The era of cars that stay in the family for decades and generations is over. Now you just regurgitate year to year iterations and models by leasing them for a year and dumping them for the new hot stuff as soon as it's available. I have huge respect for my car. It will forever be a part of my life even long after it's gone, because it gave me an incredible platform to learn on, to fail on, to come back to at the end of a hard day and just simply... *enjoy*the ride home.

I got one and I'm 28. The official car of my late 20s.

I'm sure this is an amazing car, but I can't be the only one who likes it more when he reviews old cheap shitboxes than modern-ish cars?

now do the first gen is300 a.k.a U.S altezza countertpart

"I want to go fast but OH DON'T LOOK AT ME!" killed me

I've learned to stay to the very end of each video now. I was not disappointed.

350s are sooooo underrated

I owned this car. Your TOO hung up talking about the Lexus brand and badge more then the actual car dude. This car is a sport sedan don't be fooled. I had no idea the car was that good until I brought one. 0-60 fastest time tested was 4.9 seconds faster then all other sedans in its class when this car came out. It was a rocket. Beating out the v8 S4 Audi at the time. This IS350 sent BMW back to the drawing board and they came back with the 335i turbo because the IS350 destroyed the 330i back in 2006. This car was ahead of its time and still is a great hidden value on the market for a luxury performance sedan. I also disagree heavily on that it looks like nothing. One he could of washed the car before this review of it. Two the exterior for a car that came out in 2006 still looks new today. I had a sliver one black interior everyone thought my 2006 IS350 was a 2012 and up. Granted I kept the car super clean. I brought it with 150k and the car drove like it was brand new. Let me review this car next time.

I love this editorial!!!!

That tach needle shot up like your automated body functions during a *HORM DREAM*

“ There no tp, I have a summit racing magazine # hahaha 7:48

This generation of IS are fast cars, the new ones are about as fast as a Camry

My new favorite channel!!! Lol I have a 07 350 love it for the motor and styling

Thanks for getting the SMW theme stuck in my head for the next few hours.

Pack a bowl, watch a new RCR. Must be 4 a.m. on a Monday.

0-60 is actually more like 4.7

This is the best car review video I’ve ever seen.

For some reason.. I feel so tranquil after this video. I'm subscribing
