Daily Driving A Lexus IS350 F-Sport 

craziest part of this vid is the mic quality. the isolation was incredible 😂. couldn’t believe you were even outside, there was no ambient noise. good vid 👍🏾

A straight forward honest owners review, love it. Helps me decide whether or not to trade my 2019 ES 350. I love the body lines of the IS 350.

I have a 2015 IS 350 AWD with most of the F sport options and I can’t imagine purchasing this car new. I got mine for less than 20k and only 90k miles and it has the same engine, the same seats, the same size, same breaks, same design, except it doesn’t have Apple Car play. Sure I’m out of warranty but Lexus reliability is untouched and I just got an inspection done and it came back with flying colors. This is a great car new but an even better deal used if anyone’s looking for a reliable, compact sports sedan.

I have a 2021 IS350F Sport AWD, Iridium Silver with the red interior with all possible options except the sun shade. It's my DD with 43K. First thing I like about it is the fact that I haven't seen the same IS350F Sport and few other IS350F Sports on the road. Lots of BMWs and Audi's duplicated on the road. It's unique and very stlyish. Transmission is a 6-speed and is slow to shift, but in manual mode at 3,000+ RPM the 311 HP makes it quick enough. It's not a race car, but the handling is superb in my opioion and love the staggered wheel set up. On highway I get close to 28MPG and mixed driving about 24 MPG. Stop and go driving knocks it down to about 20MPG using premium grade fuel. I added the Lexus performance exhaust and it does sound better, but will never sound as good at the V-8 in the LC500 or IS 500. I'm done with Turbo Charged engines after owning 2 - twin turbo Ecoboost V-6 in my SHO's and like the 3.5L V-6 NA engine for its simplicity and durability. I am dissapointed that Lexus is going to turbo charged engines in the upcoming model year and will keep driving my IS350F Sport until the wheels fall off.

I’m getting the 2024, I S 350 F Sport, white with black interior. Can’t wait to drive it. Next week ..!!

“Some people like some certain things and other people like other things.” Absolute words of wisdom from a car reviewing genius.

I daily drive this car. It’s my happy place

Atomic Silver color is the best silver car color ever made in my opinion

I have to disagree 100% with the ride quality comment. This is not a stiff car at ALL especially if you pass on the bbs wheels. I have the AWD 350 f sport and it is a dream to drive ! The steering is smooth and accurate.

Great video man, the only comment I have is I think the steering is stiff only in sport mode, otherwise it’s similar to other cars

Was debating between is 350 and es 350. I believe the ES 350 beats out the IS by a long shot for a daily. Back seat has more space than most SUV's. Larger trunk, super smooth ride. Most importantly better mpg and takes regular gas. Decent performance from the v6 too. The IS looks nicer but the ES is very clean too (2019+ models.)

Nice Review.. I just bought a 2023 IS350 Black with the red guts back in July!! Love my IS .. I named here Sexy Lexy

Good review man. I’ve always loved the IS350.

I had a 2018!Lexus IS 350F Sport & it was really my favorite car of all times. Sadly dhing the Covid Variant Outbreak 22/23 i was forced to sell my face car to be able to cover much needed Veterinary ER bills for the treatment of my furry Cats. Today nothing would make me happier than to be be able to re purchase my favorite Car even if its 1/2 years old. Being during these times without a Car & depending only on public transportation & ride share services is tough. But the love for my furry feline Children is bigger.😔

How about long trips long 16 hours? does it beat you?

Keeping it real. Great review.

Superb content, wishing you success sir!

You mentioned the car is low. The ground clearance is 5.5 inches. Is that really low? The Camry is 5.7

It's hard to climb into that car. Bro... c'monnnn.

The exhaust has literally no noise. What are you talking about?

This thing looks so damn good, if only wishes were horses 😢

Its a beautiful vehicle....Whats the name of the song playing?

My IS350 F Sport doesn't come with cooled seats. The stereo is definitely good though. I would not trade it for a BMW or Mercedes, that's for sure.

Would you recommend 2024 BMW 230 wt Msport package or 2024 Lexus IS350 F Sport Design?

How good can the exhaust sound, it’s just a 2gr

the CD player just kills me man, hopefully they get rid of it for 2025 since im gonna be looking for a more city friendly car next your to replace my truck

I wonder why they took out the mark levinson sound of the new Lexus

Good video man the car looks great! But dare I say you look a bit underdressed for that car! Lol

rides low, hard to get in? not for me.

Is it my tv or is something up with his face?

Does it ride as stiff as the A4?

Twin 🔥🔥

Just got the 2021 for 40k 🇺🇸🤠💪🏽🇺🇸

I have a 22’ IS350 F- Sport and really like it overall but I disagree that the engine sounds good.

Decided on the G70 , the interior is more appealing, 3.3T has around 50 more HP...

This car has always been one of my favorite looking sport sedans. It’s so gorgeous & even the 2014 models are still lookers with the f sport package. I almost bought one back in 2018, but I went with an A4 because of the technology. Lexus needs to update this interior, technology, & infotainment system.

Bought the same car+awd 7 months ago in cloudburst grey with the circuit red interior. No regrets and a great daily all things considered and 100% agree with all points you mentioned, spot on! Cheers :)

The MPG is not 24 average. On the highway these cars do well but the city (real city driving not suburb driving) kils the mpg it's like 15 in real city driving. So average will likely be 21-22 for a highway bised driving.

It looks like your is 350 f sport doesn't have the upgraded Mark Levinson audio system. If you thought the base audio system sounds good, then your mind would be blown if you heard the Mark Levinson audio package.

Nice review! Space-wise, I was able to fit all 4 PS4S replacement tires into the car. Clearly not a truck or a family hauler, but fold the backseats down and you have some real room to work with! 🙂 I work from home, but I'm on the roads as much as I can, and this car would be the perfect daily driver. (Any flavor of it...) Thanks for posting!

I own the same exact car. 2022, with the red interior, the atomic silver exterior. It's my daily driver, and I absolutely love it. I also get a lot of compliments from people.

I'll take this you'll get your money worth

not hard to get in dude acting like its a lambo

Great points all around and I'm currently in the market weighing this vehicle amongst a couple others - one of the biggest drawbacks for me is the lack of power in it's price point and class. While it's nice to have this bulletproof natural V6, the meager 311hp is quite a turnoff to me when you consider how much this vehicle goes for and what other similar vehicles have for power. Not that horsepower is everything, as I absolutely love everything else about this vehicle - but I just wish Lexus had put a more powerful engine that boasted better performance numbers. I feel that with everything going for this vehicle at it's price point, a V6 with somewhere closer to 350hp would get me to the dealership immediately.

what do you do to afford it?

Nice review man, I almost ended up gettimg the 350 f sport. I ended up just going with a lesser car, the IS 300 but I still love it!

why cann't lexus make IS 350 same dimension as ex 350

Great video. Well done.

This car would absolutely shine if they used the Supra B58 motor and transmission. As it stands, it's just a civic sized Lexus that only offers reliability as the selling point. Performance is trash, transmission is lethargic, sound is abysmal (compared to said B58), and the infotainment system is a second thought. Lexus is riding it's reputation into obsoletion.

Love Lexus they need to bring back manual transmission

great video bro your very detailed on everything. Yeah for me i would go with a Genesis G70 smoother ride and more power with the 3.3TT engine. I know its not a Lexus but its still a great car. more room as well.

Clear and straight to the point. Thank you for the review.

Look at all those homes with cars parked on the driveway. You just know their garages are full of crap. And this is a car enthusiast channel.

Hey, your girdle is showing when you climb into your car!

Good unbiased review. Love everything except the driving too low. I hate drivers suddenly slowing down and going sideways when they encounter a bump or something. So for this reason, I will pass and go ES for the oldies 😄

You had to strain so much getting in! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hard to climb into the car?

Lacks torque on the low end of RPM which makes for a “sluggish” feeling from dead stop but fantastic daily overall.

Still no auto folding mirrors for this vehicle? Was hoping the refresh would’ve remedied that shortcoming.

I like this video. I like the down-to-earth daily driving impressions. This is how this car will be driven 99% of the time! I'll be honest, I would not want three grown men to be in the back of my car. It would be pretty tight! I don't think I've ever had anyone sit in that middle position, and I don't think they'd want to. But, in the outboard seats, anyone under six feet tall should be A-OK.

This cars steering is not stiff but ok

I bought a 2017 obsidian black 2wd IS350 F-Sport in 22 with 55k miles, it came with Avid AV 2.0s and BC Racing coilovers which I didn't discover were on it till about a month later lol. As I was leaving the Toyota dealership I bought it from one of the service techs walked up to me and told me he was the previous owner and hated to sell it but needed a truck. After talking about the car for a bit I knew I made a good choice after a 3 hour journey to pickup the car just based off of pictures and telephone calls with the sales guy. Anyway I absolutely love the car, it rides on rails in the corners and stops on a dime. I come from a time where you had to actually roll up the windows so I actually like the old analog-ish interior. The Mark Levitson stereo is great once you tune the eq (turn the midrange down past half and the treble and bass up to taste on each music source). While not the quickest car on the block it can still elicit smiles in sport mode with manual gear changes. I have no problems getting in an out of the car except after a very hard workout. Yeah it can get cramped on long drives and the way my coilovers are set along with the wheels and tires the ride can beat you up at times. I have my complaints but they don't stop me from enjoying a well put together reliable vehicle. My next sedan will probably be a Blackwing but yes I would certainly buy a new IS especially the 500.

My dream is a new IS350 or 500 in the future. I currently have an 01 IS300 at 293K miles and absolutely still love it. Doing all I can to make it last and maintain it until I have enough saved up to buy a new IS down the road.

I have the exact same car 22 is350 atomic silver w red interior… have you seen the prototype 25 is?? It puts ours to shame bro I’m buying it in December 24. It will have a lay down charger instead of a plug in for the phone and the interior and screen is completely redone. Buttt it’s going to be an 4 cylinder turbo and it’s going to be electric / hybrid smh… only the is 500 will have a twin turbo v6 not a v8… I’m already looking at the design I only get to have these new cars cause I get to put it in my biz name.

Hey was wondering if you have apple CarPlay/Android auto in your car and is it a touchscreen? Or trackpad. Thanks, great video, thinking about picking up a CPO.

that is the best exterior color

as someone who drives a sedan and perfer a sedan over a suv and is not tall im already planing to buy this car after i finish paying off my current car

I own a LC 500 top dog ! This car is good for entry level people that want a reliable car and decked out !

It doesn't have real leather.

Yeah the steering is quite stiff for daily drive. You can feel that the steering is connected to you.

I own mine in blue 2023. This vehicle is amazing. I will never go back to another vehicle.

I'm 68 years old and two comments you made, which this is the first review where I've heard them, about the car being hard to get into, and I assume to get out of, also the comment about the ride not being very smooth. I got spoiled with a Lincoln MKS a few years ago and I want something like that in a sporty car. I love the concept of this car and the styling but I want comfort over performance. I don't need Lincoln smooth but comfortable over rough roads and long trips. Recommendations?

Great video.. Really considering getting one of these because of your video. Thank you!

what color is the exterior on this? looks great!

Why you got then 1980 shorts on bro?

love it! thanks for the real review

Do you recommend it over the camry XSE V6?

appreciate the honesty and down to earth commentary. Still can't decide between this, the g70, and the TLX a-spec!

what color is this?

Clean🎉

You must be kidding. IS 350 rides like a a rolls compared to real sports sedans like M3/M5 or AMGs. IS 350 rides better than most regular cars like camry, accords, and mazdas.

What colour is this?

Nice review 👍🏾

Nice review, keep it up

I want this car so bad, but it’s the worst time ever to buy a car in America.

Should have gotten G70 3.3T

I went to buy one a few months ago and the idiots at lexus wouldn't allow me to swipe $25,000 on my card so i walked over to ford. Not only did ford allow me to swipe $25,000 but i drove away in a darkhorse and I dont regret it one bit.

👍🏻🚙

Bro can’t talk when he drives a Camry

Is it fast?

💯

Just purchased a new 2024 is350 F-sport and your right the first thing i noticed was it is hard to get in and out of and im not crazy about how tight the drivers seating is for a 6'2" 230lb guy but the driving performance is excellent!

Hello, is it possible to make a video going more in depth about the base sound system in your car? Maybe just a recording inside the car with various music playing.

I wouldn’t mind getting one of these.. only thing Is, I don’t like the idea of a CD player.. 🥴

I got a 2022 is 350 and love it

I would have to disagree. My is350 is one of the most smoothest cars I’ve ever drove
