Just a note on this specific prototype we tested - It should not have included Adaptive Variable Suspension and the Sport S/Sport S+/Custom drive modes. While AVS is available on 350 F SPORT models, it is only included with the Dynamic Handling Package that this vehicle did not have. The specs and pricing in the description are correct on the vehicle tested other than the AVS/Drive Mode features.

In my opinion, it's the ultimate sporty, normal luxury car. I like that even with the sporty design and driving feel, it doesn't try and be a sports car. It embraces it's luxury platform just with a twist. And for this price range, the sound system is obnoxiously good. The reliability is also second to none. No issues in almost a decade.

So if that is something you value, and you intend to drive the vehicle for a long time, the IS is the winner. You most likely will not need to be fixing various oil leaks and other miscellaneous problems at 75k with this car.

@shawng4886 Жыл бұрын
@@abhisheknauduri7013 depends on what you’re looking for… leasing is usually 2-3 years vs financing 5-6 years. Leasing, you can trade the vehicle in at any time for a newer model and when the lease is over, you can trade it in or purchase it if you love it and you know how the vehicle has been maintained. Financing, you’re generally stuck with the vehicle, unless you can find a dealer to buy it out but be prepared to take a financial bath in trade value… If you want to just drive the car, not have to worry about any maintenance, build your credit, and essentially “test” the vehicle to make damn sure it’s right for you; leasing isn’t a bad option. A lot of people frown upon leasing but 🤷🏻♂️ you’re driving a brand new, worry free vehicle, and if you don’t fall in love with it, you’re not trapped in it… I traded in my IS350 for a RX350(more space) and like it a lot. Drives AMAZINGLY smooth and handles extremely well for a SUV. My RX lease will be up in 2 years, so if I don’t find anything better for the same value, I’ll probably just buy the RX out.

just a suggestion: for the walkaround parts, you might want to use standard angle cameras. The wide angle makes it look very distorted and not true to real life, hence the car looks super stubby in your video. Works great when trying to show more interior though!

@@Raptors0524 the TLX is everything that the IS should have been. Acura completely rebuilt the TLX & actually used the double wishbone suspension from the NSX super car & dumped the macpherson strut suspension that they were using all the way until 2020. Acura is using a whole new turbo V6 for the new TLX

Love my 2014 is350 F sport 88K miles running strong. Not really too happy how bring the red interior is on the new one. More prone for stains and wear/tear. For $50,000+ I wouldn’t splash the cash on this model. Like the older design better, feels like they’re trying to do a cross between an Acura and Audi.

The hump in the driver footwell isn’t actually the transmission, but what sits behind the transmission. Since this is an AWD model, it has a transfer case to send power to the front wheels. So the hump makes space for the transfer case and front drive shaft. That hump is not present in the RWD models

Needs less red on the red interior, or a darker red like rose colored. Red interior kind of makes it look like a burger joint.
