I’ve had an 07 IS350 since 2017, best used car value for a quick and reliable compact sport sedan as long as you don’t want a manual transmission. Got it with 84k and now has 124k miles, no issues. Only big maintenance I’ve had to do was the alternator around 100k miles which is normal for Toyotas of this era.

Had mine for 3.5 years now bought at 83k miles now at 106k miles no issues except that what the mechanics created. Had a hole in the backbox silencer. Taped it up. Fine now. Maintain them. Oil Change every 6 months. Only issue is the fuel is awful. If you want to do local runs and short journeys expect 19/21mpg. Mixed driving 25mpg. Medium around 32mpg (mix of B roads and motorways and local). Motorway I have achieved 44mpg at best. Decently fast car for what it is. Smooth. Advice: Make sure you have a fuse grabber in your fuse box if not find one they are micro fuses. Carry a pack of spare fuses (cheap). If you ever do your spark plug change after 100k miles you might want to change you tube seal gaskets. I have done the rocker cover gasket seal on my one as preventative maintenance due to some oil on spark plugs. Now fine. Do the trans fluid full change (full oil, filter and gasket seal). I have 2.5 not 3.5

I bought an 06 is350 for $3,500. It has some aesthetic details but engine and transmissions is solid and body has no dents or rust. I gotta say I love that car, it feels super planted and solid. In snow mode it feels very easy to just cruise yet it feel strong. On normal or sport that thing is a bullet.

You need to turn off traction control and do a soft launch by holding the brake and gassing it up to 2k RPM to get a time around 4.8 to 5.0 seconds. Also helps to put it in ECT Power mode and shifting into Sport but limit the gears to 6 and let it shift on its own. By putting it to 6 in ECT PWR you let the car go through the whole rev band if you gas it to the floor. (07 IS350 owner)

@sdlausen16 ай бұрын
Incorrect. The car actually accelerates faster in normal mode with traction off. Normal mode holds gears to redline while sport mode shifts to the next gear a bit sooner but holds gears longer. Basically, sport mode is better for spirited driving or track driving. There are multiple forums and the notes on this online.
@kkeshav746 ай бұрын
@@sdlausen1 If you put the ECT PWR on with Transmission in S and limit it to 6th gear, it won't change the shift pattern as ECT PWR normally does. It will just make the throttle response better while keeping the shift pattern as it is normal D. I know exactly what you're saying but what I'm saying is different, because putting it in S with 6 on the cluster and ECT PWR on will not give you the same early shifts.

I have an IS250, which I love. I certainly would like to drive an IS350. Although it would be fun, that's not why I bought the 250. It's a sport luxury sedan. It's not a race car. The IS 250 is a great daily commuter. Extremely reliable. Gorgeous looking. I have not had a problem with it. It would be nice to have the 350 power, but I don't drive it that way. Can't beat the car for the price!

Other cars in this price range I’ve owned that are great deals are first gen Hyundai Genesis sedans with the 4.6. 375 HP sound great and are actually very very reliable. I also owned a C55 amg; 2006. U can find a decent example for 6-8k. Super reliable amg with the 5.4 v8 and 5 speed. But besides that the Lexus is350 is probably the best bang for buck for luxury and sport
