👋 This was a fun comparison! The Lexus IS500 is an old school V8 powered luxury sedan and today I have the keys to a stunning spec! Vector Blue 2024 IS500 F-Sport was a very nice combo! Alongside our 2024 Audi RS3 finished in Turbo Blue these were cool to compare since both car come in at the mid $60,000 range. RS3 at $65,000 and IS500 in $69,000. Paint on the IS500 was about $2,600.
After driving the RS3 and the IS500 back to back, while they look similar, they aren't even close to similar. The RS3 is a tossable and super precise sport sedan, while the IS500 is a grown up relaxed sport sedan. The RS3 has 400 horsepower from the inline turbo 5 cylinder and launches from 0-60 in just 3.3 seconds. The transmission is very fast and does exactly what you want and this feels light on it;s toes. Stiff suspension ass well to really give you a sporty feeling. The IS500 has an old school V8 and is still quick, but certainly not as fast. Over 1 second slower to 60 makes a big difference.The seats are more comfortable and there is much more interior room to make this a fantastic family daily driver. The transmission in Sport + mode is quick, but not as quick to shift compared to the RS3. The Lexus IS500 in just Sport mode, the transmission is very lazy and a bit slow to respond. Overall I don't think anyone is cross shopping these two cars. RS3 is a young hyper kid on caffeine. The IS500 is a grown adult relaxing ;)

500 is appealing because: 1. it’s very comfortable as a daily driver, it’s not sport sedan but more like a super touring vehicle. 2. It’s reliable and will outlast any of its competitors. 3. Resale value. 4. It’s the best looking sedan in its class. Period. 5. NA bulletproof V8. 6. Quality build, it’s built in Japan 7. Interior is bland but it works.. it has physical buttons. 8. IS500 is nostalgic …Think about it, the V6 4Runner is outdated, choppy transmission, bland interior but it’s the number one SUV in its class and sells like hotcake.. cuz it has that “magic” sauce that people love. The IS500 has that magic sauce and no matter all the annoyance it has, people will always walk away from it wanting more

@ARentz07 4 месяца назад

The IS 500 at the track shifted faster because it was fully warmed up. It's pretty much a meme at this point that no one knows this and bashes the transmission because they drive the car cold. If you just look up any video of an RC F or IS 500 POV when it has fully warmed up, you'll see what I mean. I recommend TheTopher's track driving video, for instance.

@BrosFOURRSpeed 4 месяца назад

Yeah I didn't push the car super hard being brand new. It was quicker shifting when we rode in one around Daytona. But still not quite as snappy as the RS3. Both cool cars tho!

@Donpepee 4 месяца назад

I don’t know why people try to trash the Lexus is500, it’s the same thing they did with the lfa. Idk when buying a car was all about 0-60 or an infotainment systems. No one ever drives these cars on the track or even use half of the horse power. When it comes down to it, the 500 will definitely hold its value.

@BrosFOURRSpeed 4 месяца назад

We'll see how each car holds value. But both are great vehicles like I mentioned in the video. However the RS3 is a lot more exciting to drive quickly. IS500 is more relaxed and comfortable. SO depends on what your needs and desires are. If I was 40 with kids, I'd go for the IS500 all day. But right now in life, the RS3 is more fun and works better

Nice! Yeah even tho these aren't direct competitors, they are bother really cool sedans that would be something to look at. Both are very different. The IS500 would be a great 'dad' sedan.

Parroting previous reviews. On the street, what does saying a slow shift do or mean while driving?

@BrosFOURRSpeed 4 месяца назад

Makes it less engaging and less fun to drive in a spirited manner. These are performance cars, not a basic daily driver. So when you drive these in a fun way, the Audi gives you more engagement and feedback. Which makes it more fun. Lexus is fine for daily driving and has a lot to offer, but the RS3 cranks it up a notch for enthusiasts

@Eflozzz 4 месяца назад

Good comparison. I’ve owned both and ended up keeping the RS3 long term. While the IS500 offers a glorious V8, that’s all there really is to it, unfortunately. The infotainment is very outdated, the transmission is horrendous, it’s very expensive to get 30 extra whp and it looks too similar to a IS350 F sport. On the other hand, while both the last of their kind, the RS3 offers a lot of bang for buck in many regards!

@BrosFOURRSpeed 4 месяца назад

Yeah I can see that. I thought the 500 would be very different from the 350 and other IS cars. But it's just the engine. Great car overall, but if you really want a super performance focused sedan, the RS3 is something else!

@joespeed5991 4 месяца назад

Warm up that IS transmission and you will be surprised how faster it will shift up and down. Definitely not a double clutch feel but not as bad as you described it.

@BrosFOURRSpeed 4 месяца назад

@blu_is500 4 месяца назад

Very interesting comparison! I love the RS3 and the RS6 Avant…but I own my cars too long to buy an Audi. The IS500 on the track was kept way higher than 4500K RPMs. The shift logic is much faster the higher you are in the power band. If it’s not wrung out, it’ll be slow. Thanks for posting!

@BrosFOURRSpeed 4 месяца назад

Yeah I can see that. Still a paddle delay compared to the RS3. But overall it's a great daily and I could see it being a great option for an older demographic who want the big V8 and comfort

@ARentz07 4 месяца назад

@@BrosFOURRSpeed Part of it is the transmission needs time to warm up. I've owned mine for about a year, and I've learned not to even bother with manual mode until I've been driving at least 10 minutes - sometimes it needs 15. Once it gets warm, it'll snap the shifts off pretty nicely - not like a DCT but certainly pretty aggressive for a torque converter.

@rizekid2010 4 месяца назад

@@ARentz07hey! I’m looking to buy an is500. I’ve had a hand me down from my dad and I’m 25 so really feel like it’s upgrade time. I drive a Honda civic so really nothing fast. But I’ve learned to love the reliability of Japanese cars and really like the is500 for the v8 and reliability. I’ve just been wondering if I would “regret” spending as much for something that isn’t “quick” enough. Don’t really know what quick enough is though so do you think I would feel like I wouldn’t have enough quickness in the is500?

@corollabzr 4 месяца назад

@@rizekid2010 IS500 is not a number's car, it's not slow but it's also not the fastest, the reason it seems slow cuz it's not turbo and it's all top end power, kinda like a E92 or Honda B16 or B18, It was designed like savagegeese reviews said, a car that just makes u smile, and that V8 will definitely make you smile. Another thing is RS3 and IS500 is different style of cars, RS is like the F of Lexus. The S of audi is what Lexus now calls it the F Sport Performance which the IS500 is, so it should be compared with a S4 or S3 not a RS3 or RS4...

I feel like the audi is the better performer/ technology packed performance car, but the lexus is the one that people get to drive forever because of its known reliability. The audi rs3 looks stunning btw, but the huge grille screws it up. I would get the IS500 personally because I like old school cars and reliability.

@hypeboi676 4 месяца назад

Even though on paper the audi is more impressive performance wise with all that power from a 5 cylinder I would still take the Lexus because it will last long term and that Audi will be a typical German nightmare to work on once warranty is out.

@BrosFOURRSpeed 4 месяца назад

Honestly the 5 cylinder is pretty robust. Has been a proven engine to last a very long time. So I don't really see it having any issue surpassing 100k miles

@joespeed5991 4 месяца назад

You are comparing an awd to a rear wheel drive car? You should compare red apples to green apples in your next reviews.

@BrosFOURRSpeed 4 месяца назад

I've done several comparison with the RS3. M340i xDrive. M3 Comp, Nismo Z, Supra, Dark Horse (coming soon) Might as well take a look at cars in the similar price category. It's fun to check out cars that are similar prices that offer very different things. Judging by the comments quite a few of IS500 owners actually also own an RS3. So seems like the viewers like these types of comparisons. Not every comparison has to be a direct competitor exact same kind of car.

@billchampion2234 Месяц назад

A few things you failed to mention on the IS500: it has a 360 deg camera as well as ventilated seats which aren’t even available on the RS3. The foot box is also cramped on the IS500 which really sucks for long trips which the car excels at minus that.
