2016 / 2017 Lexus IS350 FSport Full Feature Review

[@Toyota4Life]

Beautiful car. Should win a design award honestly. The headlights look awesome at night

[@thegame123ize]

Huge lexus fan here but don't like the design of this car. I think the older one looked better. Hopefully 2020 is doesn't have the ugly drls.

[@davixastro8765]

@@thegame123izewhat do you think now it’s 2023?

[@natet53]

That "sticker" is a paint protector film. And it does not prevent your car getting dinged by your shoes... its for rock chips. That area is a high impact zone for rock chips, NOT shoes.

[@HowToCarGuy]

+nathan t Excellent contribution! Thank you for the insight.

[@SpencerLowe-kg4rg]

Before I became a Detailer, I used to be a Service lot attendant at a BMW dealership. Another lot attendant I knew bought this exact same car brand new after saving up for two years just working there.

[@MHoran86]

Thanks for the review....3+ years later(I'm kinda late to the party). I like the look and have been looking around my area to see what's available. The one I'm interested in is about an hour drive from me so it was nice to watch this video and get alittle more info. Pictures help but this helped alot more

[@azhariqbal1212]

love the car and your review

[@HowToCarGuy]

john smith THANK YOU for the positive feedback!

[@thomasgasper8523]

Those rotors are called slotted rotors and it's more so to help you break quicker it actually wears your pads down faster but also stop quicker

[@dougrodriguez4977]

Ventilated brake rotors do not accelerate brake pad material wear. You are confusing ventilated for slotted.

[@garrett1282]

Thinking about trading my Tacoma for one of these. Just waiting for this hellish market to correct itself a tad bit haha. Thanks for the review!

[@HowToCarGuy]

Any time!

[@olecramgranillo11]

Your review has been very helpful! Thanks

[@HowToCarGuy]

You're welcome! And thank you for the positive feedback!

[@donaldvalinski5085]

Have the same car and hate it.lexus sales man never stated that you need to pay for a app to use your remote start after the trial period.no one ever tells you you have almost 2” less in shoulder room on the passenger side.for tall people it is not easy to get in and out of.

[@mannyfr3shh07]

Ugh my baby best purchases I've ever made

[@AirForceJay]

I was just test driving this car for a future purchase and I’m sold on it! I’ll be getting the 2015 IS 300 just for the cost. But I’m excited Lexus really does make great cars

[@frankbobby1930]

Am purchasing this next year my first car

[@HowToCarGuy]

Yessssss!!!!

[@LacoteCohen]

I love the car, but the 3.5 needs to be replaced with a 3.0t. If this car had a manual transmission paired with the 3.0t I wouldn't even consider a bmw. Amazing video as usual Mr. Frady.

[@HowToCarGuy]

EXCELLENT point! A 3.0L Turbo with a hand shaker would put this car over the top! Thank you for the kind words too! Have a great day!

[@forc3ofxf3ar77]

Wade Higgins which did you go with?

[@Anthony-dk7de]

What are the benefits of having turbos?

[@geo745don]

Anthony D. Gas saving and easy to modify. Example my BMW giving me extra 70 + hp and torque with a tune

[@Anthony-dk7de]

geo745don a tune? Lol

[@bloodshot6]

Great breakdown on the features. Is there lag when you use the paddle shifters? Does this F-sport come with updated suspension and intake?

[@MiserableBullsFan]

How does this IS350 have a nob to control the infotainment system, whereas the other ones I keep seeing online utilize the rectangular cursor?

[@HowToCarGuy]

+Daniel Kallini Great question. The others that you have seen are equipped with the optional navigation system whereas this model does not.

[@MiserableBullsFan]

HowToCarGuy Thank you for the response!

[@MiserableBullsFan]

Just purchased my IS350 F-sport today!

[@5163034693]

hey Brock great review by the way. my question is, what's the MSRP on the car?

[@HowToCarGuy]

+Ainsworth Morgan great question. The MSRP on this particular car is just north of $47k.

[@henryfigueroa1998]

Great review !

[@ninalukenich2558]

My dream car.

[@arsenicghostdf]

Mine is this same spec….I love it

[@JhonnyTube]

How do you get cars to review? I see the Lexus dealer in the back, do you just go and ask if they'd let you borrow the car to review? I'm trying to start a car review channel but I don't know how to get new relevant cars to review. Any suggestions?

[@HowToCarGuy]

+Jhonny Martinez Thanks for reaching out! I actually have worked for Lexus for 12 years. You could say I pretty much have unlimited access :-) I also film non Lexus vehicles too. I simply go to dealers and ask to film! Most say no but some say yes. You just have to get started and keep going!

[@JhonnyTube]

HowToCarGuy thanks. I love Lexus, it's my favorite brand. I used to own a 2013 IS and it's been my favorite car ever since. Thanks for the advise, i enjoy watching your videos.

[@aj9607]

JhonnyTube consider a test-drive. Dealers in Dallas allow you to take it for a spin by yourself. I love my Lexus❤️ lol just sharing!

[@crxracer805]

For this 350 F sport, can you get it in black leather? I don't dig the red leather.

[@unknownsource4359]

yup. I dont like red leather interiors either. Black is more elegant and stealth. Black all day

[@MrCee861]

Do this engine is the dual port injection? (Two fuel injectors per piston, one behind each valve) Thanks in advance.

[@najeeblynch7079]

Where are you located at I'm interested in buying one of these beautiful cars

[@HowToCarGuy]

I'm in Greensboro, NC but I'm no longer in the car business. I can certainly point you in the right direction if you still want a Lexus though!

[@Electragirl5]

I’m confused some 2016 f sports have the weird little “mouse” wheel for the info center but others have the one you showed in this car with the circle wheel which I like better. What’s the difference?

[@bewg10]

I think the round wheel is included with the non-nav option, but I am not exactly sure. Unless the NAV package (utilizes the mouse wheel) has gotten better since the 2015's, many suggested to skip it.

[@thomasgasper8523]

Where is this car exactly? cuz I'm trying to buy that exact color combo

[@tenantrep]

Weird question. What is the age demographic that buys this car. I'm 58 and I've only seen younger dudes driving this car. I'm a commercial RE broker. Would the back seat be decent to throw clients in the car for 10 to 25 minute rides to properties? In a GS F Sport currently. 2nd one. Need a change in addition to GS being discontinued. Have been considering the new Volvo S90 Inscription but this is NICE. I think I dig white/red. Thanks. Your reviews are among the best on KZbin which I so appreciate. Most sales people have zero idea about the product they sell.

[@mikevaldes9831]

tenantrep go for the Volvo. That S90 is gorgeous. I don’t think downsizing would be ideal.

[@aj9607]

I’m a sales rep so I drive a lot. The IS not a desire car for driving around to see clients. Very fun to drive but over a couple hours getting in and out you lose that feel quickly.

[@Amir-qe8ow]

Hi sir great review. So, I have questions my plan is to buy this car Lexus IS350 f sport but I want to know should I wait for 2017 to buy that or 2016 and I want what is different 2016 vs 2017 and does 2017 have hud or auto park or else any new options?

[@jiarongli2617]

the 2017 has a larger screen , looks much better

[@forc3ofxf3ar51]

Amir H don't waste over 40k on a car. no car is worth it. if u can't pay for it all at once don't buy it

[@Amir-qe8ow]

adolf jr I already got car buddy

[@sisdavid]

Does this have enhanced cruise control. You know brake automatically so you don't run into person in front of you and tell you when you drift out of your lane?

[@threadoflife]

They do have adaptive cruise control but they don’t have the brake hold option like the GS

[@MrCee861]

Does this car and the GS350 share the same engine? Dual injection?

[@Cool_Hand_Luke77]

Do the side view mirrors tilt down to help you reverse?

[@besnerromero4686]

Also has backup camera.

[@MelissaFreeman]

Flow Lexus of Greensboro!! Are you still there?

[@tonybailey89]

Any option for a panoramic sunroof?

[@HowToCarGuy]

Unfortunately a pano roof is not available. That would look sweet though! Brock

[@darkshadow955]

This is my car!!

[@nathanbrown5331]

Hey Brock, I'm getting stressed out by my situation. I have a 2013 rx350, and the other day, in my garage which was closed, I turned on the engine and watched a movie on the player in the car for about 15 minutes. The cat was in parked, with brakes turned on, and the engine turned on. After 15 min, ever since then, I've been getting the same, brake malfunction. Yet when tried to drive the car slowly, I worked fine, but I'm still getting the same message. I don't know what to do or who to go to.

[@HowToCarGuy]

+Nathan Brown Thank you for reaching out. I'll be glad to help you if I can. When you say you're getting a brake malfunction, is there a light on the dash or is it an error message between the tach and speedometer?

[@nathanbrown5331]

+HowToCarGuy error message

[@HowToCarGuy]

I checked into the error message and I can't find that there would be any connection between the RX running in the garage and the message. I think it was just a coincidence but I definitely recommend you take it to the nearest Lexus dealer for a proper diagnosis. I really wish I could be of more help to you but I think it's just a little too risky not to take it to Lexus.

[@sunflash101]

My only question is why the center console controller is a wheel like the bmw 3 series while my car (also a 2016 is350 f sport) and all the videos I've watched on it has the joystick controller (looks like a mouse pad)?

[@HowToCarGuy]

+sunflash101 Excellent question. The wheel is there because this particular model doesn't have navigation. The models with the mouse do have the nav. system. Thanks for the question! Brock Frady

[@sunflash101]

Thank you! I actually prefer the non-nav control center better but you do get used to it. Great review!

[@fernandobeltran8943]

Can you adjust the height of the driver seat and can you adjust the steering wheel on this exact model

[@Tiffani-]

yes to both

[@danielson371]

Is the IS200t any good? 2.0L 241hp turbocharged engine?

[@jimmypena2442]

Jose Garcia Same, it's an incredible, seems underated but people aren't aware of how capable these cars are.

[@DisneyMusicVideos]

I bought a used 2017 IS200t F-sport (gray exterior, red interior) last year 15k miles with navigation for only $27,500 (it was around $45k new). You can find many of these cars in the high $20's / low $30's with low miles which is an incredible deal for all the tech they have. These cars aren't in high demand right now cause most people want suv's/crossovers nowadays. I originally wanted the IS350 F-Sport, but the turbo engine has more than enough power for me & is very quiet, smooth, sounds decent & gets up 4 MPG better than the V6.

[@SS-D]

Its been 3 years, have u got it?

[@Shadow_2055]

S S no because I don’t like the red color on the seats, apparently all of them have it.

[@SS-D]

@@Shadow_2055 lmao ok

[@DelfinoBrazil]

Which trim do u have to buy to get the mark Levinson stereo

[@DisneyMusicVideos]

It's available on all trims as a $2,800 Navigation package. My 2017 IS200t F-Sport doesn't have it, but the standard stereo still sounds really good.

[@MarcG7424]

Alu-mini-um hahaha love it love this car

[@KorgBasharwahbePaxpaMG]

Do it has any turbo engine? Like IS200t?

Only included on models with navigation. Models without nav have the knob.
