2021 Lexus IS 350 AWD F Sport - POV First Impressions

[@TheTopher]

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.

[@Ricky-ms4fu]

O man I really hope you do a night vid

[@sshah2545]

Lol, the fact that AVS is still optional at this price, in this class with an interior this old is so so sad. This car should have all the toys and gimmicks included, if they’re going to be selling a 8yo vehicle brand new

[@VolvosandHondas]

@@sshah2545 as with any toyota you will never ever get cutting edge, you are paying for refinement and dependability. all the way from a corolla to the lc500 this is the case. toyota always stays a step behind the game, and its worked for them thus far.

[@sshah2545]

@@VolvosandHondas I get it. But you’re wrong. I’m not paying them for anything. Owned 2 Lexuses and a Toyota, but I’m not going to come back until they release something compelling. Maybe next gen IS, but if I’m going that route, might as well consider a Mazda 6. Supposedly going to be the same engine. If they make a Mazda 6 RWD with a manual.. 🤤

[@VolvosandHondas]

Shikhar Shah Well i mean, im not wrong. That has literally been toyotas mindset since the 80s. “Oh no! Honda has developed the b16?! Get the 4age and throw cams, itbs, and anything else we have lying around on it... it can take it!” Edit: This is also why they use Atkinson cycle engines instead if turbocharged engines in their modern lineup for the most part.

The exterior of this car is positively amazing. That color and those wheels? Wow. The interior isn’t terrible. The red plastic wrapping onto the doors and the speakers are kinda funky. It sounds cool when you floor it too, at least from the inside. Overall pretty solid.

[@samrosen9823]

I've had mine for 9+ years and haven't had a single issue with it. Has enough power to have fun but not enough to be dangerous and get you in trouble. 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.

I love my IS. The euro cars do compete and win in a lot of areas, but not on longevity and reliability, which is rarely commented on in a review like this.

You most likely will not need to be fixing various oil leaks and other miscellaneous problems at 75k with this car.

@@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.

thats the best sadan out there you cant compare lexus quality drive . i would love this instead of my camry

[@Six_Eleven_Concepts]

That thing sounds incredible for a V6 and for how quiet it is idling. I assume that's all engine noise but damn.

[@Bodangers]

Thank you for including alot of information in the description. You saved me time!

[@sharvan456]

How does it compare to Acura TLX SHAWD that you recently drove? Which ons is better?

[@VolvosandHondas]

i can promise you it sounds a hell of a lot better and its actually made in japan as opposed to the american built honda.

[@thivakarsaravanamuthu4744]

There both great but i just like the is series

[@aymanbarakat186]

IS will keep its value far longer

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.

[@BeanieNinjay0]

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.

[@ugotserved911]

Haha burger joint. Haha....burger joint. 😂

[@harrio2themaxx702]

one day I’ll be able to afford this car. When I do I’ll come back to this video

[@kdubb81]
