Review: 2017 Lexus IS350 AWD 

I like how unbiased you are with your reviews unlike redline

Beautiful car. It's like an Audi without the shit reliability.

This is the best car review channel fair judgements

*NEXT VEHICLE VIRGINS VIDEO: WHY I GLUED A F-SPORT BADGE TO MY S-CLASS MERCEDES!!!*

Never clicked on a video faster! Lexus and Infiniti are truly underrated in the car world and in my personal opinion I'd defo compare them to a bimmer or a mercedes. (I'm not saying this out of crap, l owned a BMW and my dad owned a couple of Lexus's and Infiniti's before). these companies are brilliant. Performance, luxury, comfort, looks, reliability! Anyways great video Surbaruwrxfan :)

almost 300k subs i have been here since 14k congratz my friend you have come a long way.

Thank you for this, I've been waiting for somebody to review this.

I love the engine sound.

Dude sounds like Charlie from always sunny in Philadelphia

Lexus' reputation for reliability is a double edged sword. To uphold to that reputation they stick with a proven bulletproof NA v6 and are only now slowly starting to use turbo charging. Because of that they can only be daring with styling and electronics.

That V6 sound. We don't get these anymore with turbos nowdays

I'd buy this used, 12 to 18 months old, driven buy some old lady for $26,000 and the F-Sport for maybe $31,000 max for a perfect example.

A fast & safe luxury V6 sport sedan. I driven it twice in F-sport trim and I loved the handling, seats & interior build quality. However the engine & transmission needs a refresh. It is the least powerful & thirsty of all 6cyl in its class.

Nice review. I own a 250 and they're nice cars for what they are. I don't get why people hate on Lexus so much though.

The thing that really bugs me about the styling is the side view. That Nike swoosh by the rocker panels is just weird looking. I do like the way they drive. Great handling and road feel like my G37 daily driver. Too bad they made the Q50 a numb steering mess. Not much out there to buy in terms of luxury sport sedans if you don't want German. Love the way German cars drive, just don't wanna buy one and pay for the repairs after warranty expires.

Matt, great review! Very thorough. I appreciate your complete analysis of ride quality, and hope you keep assessing that in future car reviews. Best of luck, and thanks again for the content!

2:02 a little extra S U C C

Wow, I drive an IS 300 to work daily, mostly city, and get 19 mpg. You must have been taking the long way home!

Great video as always man 👍🏼

Great intro! Been loving your content lately

9:10 road back

It's a comfortable car. Definitely sporty, but not a track star. Gas mileage sucks on this car...BIG TIME. Barely got 21MPG per tank It's great Lexus is still using NA engines, but looks like they'll be dipping into turbos like Honda.

Black hides all the curves and the eyes (head lights) feel so small, did they shrink it? Or is it just a 350 thing

I want this car so bad now, but the 350 F-sport model in RWD & the main reason is the red leather. I built one on the Lexus website recently & it came out to $49k & $46k truecar.com price, expensive, but would be a big improvement in many ways over my current $31K 2015 Toyota Camry XSE V6 which I've enjoyed for the last three years, but been wanting a smaller more agile car with a few more features such as cooled seats & a better audio system. The one in my Camry sounds OK, but could sound a lot better. I listen to music all the time while driving & The Mark Levinson system would get the job done no problem. I've sat in a IS 350 F-Sport & it's a lot more snug than my Camry, but still enough room for me & I'm 6'0 & I kind of like that more closed in feeling.

As a Toyota/Lexus guy it's disappointing that they've used the same darn motor since 2006 and never bothered with it ever since. I know that these cars will last you for up to over 200K miles no question but cmon Lexus at least give it a 3.7L motor.

this guy knows how to have fun...

sounds like my dad's 2008 Avalon !

I love your vids man I've been watching for a while now and you do everything to suit my needs to keep watching. The only gripe I have (And I'm sure I'll catch comment hell for this) is I think you're a bit too easy on some of these cars. It's okay to be brutally critical sometimes. Think early Top Gear with Jeremy Clarkson... anyway keep up the good work man.

Thanks for this video Matt! Debating between one of these a Mercedes C class, or BMW 5 series. Opinion between the 3?

FYI steering wheel f sport or none f sport are the same except for the logo.

I have this in black color and control is very good

That's a horrible gas mileage for such a tiny car (very little cargo or passenger space).

beautiful cars. the interior and seating position is amazing. but the noises it makes doing U-turns or slow speed tight turns is unnerving. and the turning radius is subpar at best

You can turn the safety systems off via the steering wheel buttons.

Great review. Really on the fence between this and a Q50 going to test drive them again back to back and make the choice I guess.

I thought the AWD variants of IS had the same size tires front and rear while the RWD had the staggered set up?

dope review fam

And another lexus, gret matt!!

Ahhh it's not an F-Sport :(

they used to have an fsport exhaust package back in like 2011 I wonder if its still an option they sound amazing with the exhaust

Why not the F-Sport model 😩

You like how small it feels?

IS stands for Intelligent Sport. If you don't want sport, stay away!

So my wife's $17k base vw golf comes w/ CarPlay and this Lexus does not? Interesting..

hey Matt... I'm driving down from NY just wanted to know what time the Pittsburgh cars and coffee starts

The only thing that keeps me from buying a Lexus is the lack of Android Auto.

where's the window decals on the driver door window buttons manufacturers are really cheaping out now a days

I currently have a 2012 rx350, im thinking between an updated rx350 or this is350 Only thing im scared is that i live in Nyc and potholes will hurt this is350 and people who cant park will scratch the hell out of the bumpers. On my rx350 suv i got bull crash bars on it and goes over potholes with no problem. That the difference.

2014-2016 better headlights, tailights , Grill

Now I wanna see an LC500 review next

Pretty disappointed with the interior of this car. In my opinion, it belongs in a much cheaper car.

Does GPS navigation come as standard or as part of some add on package

Well matt i guess youve been in the game for a long time if youre using the term "product"

You can turn lka off with the button on the steering wheel.

2:59 Uh, that button has a small man propelling himself through the air with a fart...

do the f sport RWD way faster, lighter, 0-60 better etc especially if u take off traction control down shift it to second and floor it around 4.5k rpm it’ll through u back

Awsome reveiw

How's the road noise? Luxury cars should be quieter.

This IS doesn't have the fancy moving dial from the supercar? Does anyone know what trim you need for that feature?

if this was the F sport, this would basically be my dream car 😩

I guess you forgot to mention the Q50, I think it is the main competitor for the IS and I believe it's better then the IS

What is that interior color called? Its not the Beige color

Quick point of feedback. Say the intro a little more slowly. It sounds like a complete blur in every video. Great work as usual. Keep it up.

hmmm.... as I'm watching this, I can't help but to think. I wonder if Lexus or whomever lent this car out to him, asked him NOT to be so harsh or negative in this review... lol and only think that bcuz of what's be said about the lexus before. and not much has changed so... yea lol. just a thought.

COOL Review: 2017 Lexus IS350 AWD

I hate how cheap the window switches and steering wheel buttons look. But that’s not a huge deal when the rest of the car is great

Front end looks better, but the new tail lights look horrible. They shoulda just kept the tail lights from the 2014-16 model... And I agree with you on how small & tight this car is. My friend has a 2014 IS350 & I sat in the back a few times & I felt trapped lmao The back is not the place for tall people

Is this rear-drive biased with front-wheel assist? Or is this a front-drive biased, rear-wheel assist?

As off-putting as this Catfish / Spindle grill was at the time, the new Bimmers have a face only a Mother could love. LOL And this is coming from a Bimmer guy...

9:18 "not bad"

Definitely torn about the appearance of these things

Just beautiful

Someone needs to start putting the acceleration timestamp on each video😂

Hmm Lexus's front grill is actually starting to grow on me.... only took like 3-4 years. Edit: 17MPG average? Dang the RS400 from Infiniti pretty much made that even with it's higher weight and 100 more hp. lol

Audi A4 S-Line or Lexus IS350 - which one would recommend...

Review a LS430

do a car review of a Nissan skyline GTR 34

Wait what happened to "let's turn onto this back road and see how it does"? I was totally looking forward to that! Lol

car need some foglights and coilovers and where good to go

CAN YOU GET A VOLVO?

Couldn't stand the stupid UI with mouse or the hugeeee bump in the footwell. It got annoying fast in just a test drive

Ew. Why the heck does the rear turn signal light have a yellow cap?

You look like martin shkreli

No competition? Umm what about the: Infiniti Q50? Acura TLX? Audi A4? Those are it's direct competitors buddy.

Would love to know your option on comparison of the rc350 (2015 you test drive) and is350 from a performance standpoint.

You can get a used fsport for 30k, half the price

Lexus really need to remove the Nike swoosh daytime-running lights and the spindle grille!

We have the same name

2nd gen is is slightly faster seems like

To bad a Q50 is better (imo) looks better it's faster and its comfy

do the F Sport bro...

Pre facelift version looked much better

What if SubaruWRXvbnkfhjgxhuFan's new channel name does not roll off tongue and allow for hyper speed intro's??😟😟

I love your videos dude, but your thumbnails make me so fucking angry lol

I'm here

Too bad it's not the 8 speed auto

This is actually an extremely rare car. All 350's are f sports 2017 and newer

Lol his face when hitting the gas: "fuck I have to put on fake reaction cause this shit is so slow"

Ya'll came for 9:12

Would never buy a Lexus that isn't an F-Sport model...
