Been loving my 2014 IS 350 AWD F Sport white exterior with red interior for the past 6 years. Great little car that is the perfect daily. Always manages to make me feel special sitting in it. Plus, my interior looks exactly the same as the newest IS 😂

[@m.b8257]

That fact that it’s a Lexus alone makes it great !

[@bpuente46]

My 21 I s is the best car I’ve ever driven. Fun rear wheel with electronic steering. Direct & port injest makes it fun too. Power mode when getting on highway makes me feel”baller”

Treated myself to an L Certified 2020 IS350 F Sport with 21k miles this past Christmas. Ultra white with rioja red really stands out. Puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. Handles like a dream with amazing reliability

I have an old 2000 ES300 with 305,000 miles and it runs perfect. I've had to replace a lot of suspension parts. But other than that she's extremely reliable.

I own a 2014 IS350 F-Sport in Silver Metallic with Red/Burgandy interior. I love everything about the car except for the infotainment! So I swapped it out for an aftermarket display that looks identical to the factory setup. Android Auto/Apple CarPlay made a world of difference and makes the car feel modernized.

In late 2019, I was fortunate enough to special ordered a 2020 Lexus IS 350 FSPORT w/ rear-wheel drive... which I absolutely loved and was generally very happy with, until the redesigned/enhanced 21' model debuted. Luckily, I was fortunate enough to be able to (again) custom order the 21' version, this time with Dynamic Handling Package + rear-wheel drive, and replace the 2020 version following nearly a year of ownership. I must admit, EACH time that I drive my 21' IS, the more I love it! The feel is so natural, yet refined, yet communicative, and analog, compared to most modern cars... even within the Lexus lineup.

Alot of very interesting facts about the IS, especially the Mark Levinson non-contract info. The current generation imo is easily the best looking IS by far. I would love to have an IS500, but would settle for an IS350. Maybe someday. 🤷‍♂️

[@shijitnair1404]

This is the quickest crash course about the IS series ever ! Loved the detailed explanation of the different model years and the changes. Thanks bud !

[@mw3180]

Heads up the 8 speed in the non F models is the AA81E doesnt have nearly as aggressive gearing and internally weaker compared to the AA80E 8speed found in all F models.

You’re simply the best Lexus analyst on KZbin 💪🏽🙏🏽

[@jasonalpha]

Greatest in-depth analysis of the IS. Top class video.

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

I think the Lexus IS is still one of the better option to choose if you want a luxury sport sedan. I think the current IS is the best looking one by far (either that or the 2nd generation IS), but it is definitely getting a little bit long in the tooth in terms of the interior. Although even that interior still looks very nice, as Lexus really knows how to do interiors really well, compared to their other Japanese luxury car competitors. Lexus just needs to update the interior and maybe the transmission. The current 6-speed is not a horrible transmission, but definitely in need of a better transmission to help it feel faster and sportier.

I had 2014 IS250 F Sport. I sold it and upgrade to 2023 IS350 F Sport. Great vehicles.

[@panam747]

I love mine; IS-250. I've had it stupidly up to 136 with a carful of friends. It was dawn, and I was leaving San Francisco for San Diego. Suddenly, we saw 6 cop cars racing in the other direction rapidly. I slowly accelerated to 136 with room to go until one of my friends whined ."I don't feel comfortable," so I gradually brought it back down to 77 and set the cruise. She was smooth as butter and still is. I'm hooked on Lexus as I've never had one problem with it, and I bought it brand new!

[@brian7523]

Thanks Kevin, I was actually looking at a 2016 IS350 F-Sport this weekend. The rear seat space is really compromised as I am 6.4 foot and I have to take the seat all the way to the back.

[@luisacevedo8699]

I have a 2014 IS350awd executive edition :) had it for about 7 years. Awesome car, love looking at it as much as as driving it. No issues just normal wear and tear (battery, tires, brakes, oil change, sparkplugs). Planning to keep it for another 5 years then maybe buy the latest V6 of the same IS350 (no turbos or hybrid).

[@SpaceyZee]

I prefer the Lexus GS over the IS.

[@LivingPositive50]

Love my 2018 is350 f sport rear wheel drive.🤟 Gotta have tinted windows with dba discs brakes, hawk pads, and lower A arm bushing upgrades. She's a keeper, no Regrets, and wont leave you stranded on side Road.
