2014 Lexus IS 350 F Sport at MIS (Evaluation Course) - WR TV POV Test Drive

[@heyKiddCudi]

saw this on the road in white. I have to say, it is probably the BEST looking car on the road today.

[@maxdob757]

DA BEST SPORT SEDAN IN ITS CLASS, PERIOD.

[@omarimad1323]

Max Dob even the 250?

[@sergeolchowec905]

agree ! just wish it had 50 more hours power in it !

[@lambro4014]

This design is striking and bold. I know lots of people hate it but many love it too. I have the 2015 250 F sport. I was considering the 2015 Mercedes C 300 but I liked this one better. When this car is washed and looks nice and shiny it gets a LOT of attention from guys and girls.

[@johncoktostone]

I have an IS250 F-Sport. It may be due to the fact I don't seek out things to complain about, but I really love the car. It's really great inside and out. For the 5 mile commute to work, I suppose I could bitch a little about the fuel economy, but I'm not going to drive something that looks like a door stop (Prius) for that. I like every bit of the inside of the car and prefer driving it at night because the lighting on the dash is engaging..or something..but I like how it all looks.

[@TheFinalKO]

Hm. As far as performance id give it to BMW. But for reliability Lexus wins overall . Lexus does give a great driving experience, enough to be a Top Pick on the Luxury Category.

[@windingroadmagazine]

You can read our thoughts on the car in the article linked in the description.

[@Friday702Musicality]

Man, this car is beast.

[@WLOfails]

Engine sounds beautiful

[@vitreoushumor]

I love the non-verbal POV videos - keep it up!! So much better than the "talk through the sound of the car" videos everyone else makes. For once I can HEAR the car!

[@mtaFTW]

My new favorite car in its class. Absolutely gorgeous, both inside and out.

[@lightbulbisbright]

The quality is awesome

[@Hwoarang121]

Amazing car! I love Japanese cars. Lexus is great!

[@TwoHawksHunting]

Car and Driver just did a comprehensive test of the CTS, BMW 330 M Sport and the IS 350 F Sport. They rated the Lexus IS F Sport as the best overall. It is hard to believe the BMW 3 Series finally lost in a head to head comparison.

[@CodeXana]

This is the most beautiful car I've seen made in years.

[@whorebucks]

i wish it had the 4 pipe exhaust like in the 2013 is-f.

[@jojo0827]

Although initially, I didnt like it, the reviews stating that this is better than the ATS and the 3 series, kind of surprised me, I'll have to see it in person though, because it really is polarizing.

[@amigojcole]

I'm glad you adjusted the rear-view before you started...

[@aleenbox2526]

Lexus is very reliable ... All in one beauty and fast and quality

[@kwintoh]

Most beautiful sport sedan in the world!!!

[@jlobarce]

Real car luxury car...the best of the world.....the big lexus......

[@FranzKrammer4746]

I could confirm from this that the center or axis of rotation for this car is behind the driver's seat...that is my measuring stick for handling....Still I dont get the tire squeal when I brake at the limit...suspect: all-season tires...Reminds me of the autocross aka slalom courses we used to race....this car is too big to to well at low speeds compared to subcompacts

[@splewy]

It's a V6. The "350" in IS350 denotes the 3.5L V6.

[@Azul36550]

Beautiful! I want one in black with gunmetal rims!

[@darkmask441]

i love the is f series and i love this car too, but i think that the older is f looked more agressive

[@doug4yougial]

the battle of the automatics where did the fun go people

[@luxnitureliving2951]

Damn... I love this car, honestly.

[@sal1nger]

the only design misstep is what they did with the LED daytime running lights and headlamps. definitely looks worse in white. darker colors would hide this blemish better.

[@amideisin1020]

Amazing!!!!!!

[@Davidtiff]

Beautiful car. However, I am keeping my IS-F until the next one comes out. Then I will have to decide if I want to give up the V8 or not. Lexus has a 4.7 liter 500 HP V8 in their stable. I wonder if that will power the next IS-F.

[@psykloneja]

This one's only the IS 350 F-Sport. The IS-F isn't out yet... Although that will probably have a V6 too...

[@Alpha6556]

That sounded beautiful

[@mtaFTW]

It looks awesome and it is only in the F Sport anyway.

[@Loudlevin]

That moveable gauge is a baffling design choice, not only does it add additional failure points , there's so much wasted space to the sides of the gauges where they could have placed that information.

[@cisco9027]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

[@MRFUCKOFF202]

Yeah and in the UK the awful 250 is the only engine we get despite the 350's economy being almost the same and much more powerful. They also effectively wiped out half of their sales by discontinuing the not-so-bad diesel engine.

[@storyclips]

Nice car my prediction for the future is lexus is 200T.

[@Ba-pj9jo]

I think the old ISF has a real feeling of 8 cylinder engine also the exhaust system has better sound than the new ISF,,, who is agree with me ?

[@HalfBreedMix]

Looking good from this view. Seems like Lexus might actually have a sporty sedan to offer short of buying the IS F

[@carlobautista24]

Powerful brake

[@HalfBreedMix]

oh, you mean the fake quads (which were really just four silver cylinders built into the rear bumper). They were so lazy, they didn't even connect the dual exhaust to the fake tips in the bumper.

[@jpleveille]

First it's an evaluation course. Second, have you watched the video? He uses the paddles on the second run.

[@mrosaine]

Still has the Camry gear selector indicators....

[@NalakaKahawatte]

Minor observation. Why didn't you change the settings to S/S+ ??

[@DancinRandy54]

i want to see a test of that older one now

[@Heretickay]

The interior is awesome. The front is not bad at all. The back is fugly imo

[@AKTechIT]

That rear diffuser needs to be either be painted or be in CF

[@tsb018]

Sweet video!

[@v_alexiadis]

Car looks nice! Downshifts seem a bit slow though

[@IcyAlex23]

Amazing video.

[@pwhs8]

Lexus is now the BMW of old and BMW has become Lexus. I'm loving the new IS's

[@MrStylorock]

visually we understand very much thx

[@egyeagle9487]

i ♥ this car

[@dominicanbr]

I will get this car

[@tellitlikeitis420]

The starting price is less than a Audi S4, why would anyone choose an Audi over this?

[@arabiggy12345]

The one in the video not all of them

[@AmrAshraf93]

i need to ask you a Question : Did you notic any change of car's power when you switched on the AC ?

[@evan546]

Why you no use paddles?

[@cubsdude44]

Where can i apply? This must be the coolest job out there.

[@benlinus9]

Does the brown interior only come with F sport?

[@Lacuq]

What camera are you guys using? :)

[@splewy]

Nope. The IS350 is a 3.5L V6.

[@PhreshNBeat]

Oh, i forgot i thought it was the Lexus "IS F" not the 350 :P

[@arabiggy12345]

Why is everyone saying isf its a is350 f sport

[@72Moochung]

needs a touch louder exhaust and that is it....oh an 19inch wheels, sorry imho.

[@mtaFTW]

lol how is it expensive? its just as much as its competitors and it got better reviews than the 3 series and ATS, so your statement is invalid.

[@TheArmaniModel1]

V6?V8?

[@hassanasd22ha]

Lovely

[@208230706]

Which one is better GS 350 F Sport or IS 350 F Sport

[@omarimad1323]

Mohammad Sadiqi Gs but the 2016. yet again how old are you? if you're 18 ish I'd say is it's more sporty and for teens. GS also works for teens somewhat but not anyone before 2k16. GS is like a 5 series or an e. so it mostly depends on your age plus the GS has a bigger dash bigger interior the is could somewhat be a badged corrolla if it's 250 but if 350 go ahead nothing wrong in it. but you if compare 2k15 GS to 2k 14 is go is. 2k16 GS to any is go gs

[@05Forenza]

I see they've got an old IS identical to my moms haha

[@yelp1000]

Having seen this car in a parking lot today I have to say it has a more serious look / expensive aura about it than what I was expecting. Moreso than the old one which was way too bland - still not for me though.

[@UrkaSoulUfa]

dashboard like on LF-A?!

[@1quickster]

its different than any car. It's not ugly except for that hideous grill. Lexus, put a twin turbo on that 3.5 liter V6 and maybe 450 horsepower.

[@turbodewd1]

All speedometers should be digital. Gauges no longer make sense. Its digital info, why put it on an analog dial?! Thumbs up to Lexus.

[@letbraski]

I'm in love !.,,

[@Emotionengne]

Did the laps without turning on the sport mode. Waste!

[@jhshao8435]

I owned a C300 for 3 years now and to be honest if you plan to get a European car then go with the lease and not the buy out. Too many FREAKING issues!!! I believed i spent almost 8-9k on maintenance for just 3 yrs!!! I must admit i really like the look of European cars like the Mercedes and BMW but all the sacrifice on maintenance took away the advantages and i will NEVER EVER get one. Preparing myself for this new IS350 :)

[@amirkeyrain]

JunHua Shao real question here. do u really take care/maintaince ur car very well or the breakdown/faulty come naturally?

[@lambro4014]

+JunHua Shao I leased a 2013 C 300 through 2015. Currently lease the IS 250 F sport. I never spent a penny on the benz with any maintanence issues for 27 months of ownership. However, insurance on Benz is more and if you go to dealer they'll charge you more for maintenance is true. So go to a mechanic near you for 10 times smaller prices. I had my mechanic remove the "service A" message from the C class for $25. Otherwise Mercedes told me it's a $250 maintenance fee from their Mercedes service department. Don't lie on the issues though, A new Mercedes has no issues unless YOU treat it wrong.

[@jmichael1holmes]

stilll would rather have the q50... but this would definitely be second choice

[@darkpill]

Doesn't look too nimble.

[@cizzlen07]

God... created such a beautiful thing here

[@julianbigay7280]

V6 any day over Turbo4s |!!!!

[@hduncan2587]

Sure was grabby/jolty in emergency braking.

[@whorebucks]

yea but i just think it looked better.

[@tomduong2847]

who the hell need dvd/cd changer nowaday?

[@Mejevoli]

I really think what they did with the IS is too much :(

[@86bigyankee]

Same steering wheel out of a Toyota Camry

[@paparazzi8472]

немашина!

[@splewy]

Yeah easy mistake.;) The "F-Sport" badge makes it confusing.

[@netsecurityregulator]

why cant u talk and tell us how the car feels

[@ovaltine224]

Steering looks weak

[@ironchopsticks]

Infiniti q50 ftw

[@henrygoh178]

Front like Audi back like Bmw.

[@meatfork4899]

I drive mine harder than this getting groceries. What was this, you never even hear the tires slip. LAME!

[@diamond_movado]

GS 350 F Sport is better.

[@TWHISPERER]

Why do I watch Winding Road videos? They never let loose on the tracks. He didn't do anything here. This was boring, didn't show us anything, didn't learn anything....typical WRM Video...useless.

[@PhreshNBeat]

v8

[@RAULJAZE]

Wow....totally smooth hot ass ride bro.maximum pleasure with minimum efoorts!®aul@AUSTRALIA★★♥★★

[@owlshine1543]

sexy ass car

[@Veyronp87]

so freaking ugly, but i like the rest of it

[@claus1225]

this car is a step back from last generation. both the front and back are inconceivably ugly. they tried to do too much and ended up with a very strange looking car.

[@claus1225]

btw, i owned an IS from last generation so I know what i am talking about. i actually hoped the current generation would give bmw a run but unfortunately this car only increased the gap.

[@Darkender1988]

I also owned the last generation car, and I just recently bought this EXACT car (color, interior, and trim), it is most certainly a better car in every single way. Looks are obviously a matter of opinion but functionally the car is far superior to the old one. Go drive and see one in person before you set yourself up for disappointment.
