A little rough around the edges; but I most definitely see the potential here, great chemistry and review team! Hopefully you guys will get your hands on a local IS 500. I absolutely loved my 2016 IS 350 FSport, but when Lexus stuffed the V8 into the 2022 it was game over for me. People will knock the car for having the same interior (minus the touchscreen) since the 2014 redesign. Lexus does not believe in the latest and greatest (except when it comes to the Safety Suite), they believe in the Kaizen philosophy of incrementalism. The Lexus IS FSport is the true embodiment of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. If you want a sedate and comfortable daily commuter, it'll give it to you. If you want a Canyon Carver or Mountain Runner, slip it into Sport+ and Manual, and Mr. Hyde will gleefully take you on a journey. 😀 I work from home and have clocked in 13K miles in the year I've had my IS 500. The engine note is *glorious* and the car is fast, but not so fast you're unable to work up and down the gears. I cannot keep my butt out of this thing, it's that good! New subscriber. 👏

@@tunedspec1740 Lexus kicked butt with the handling, build quality, and dealer experience. The IS line may not be the fastest when launched Magazine Style or the most luxurious, but everything is done well and most manufacturers cannot claim the same.

The reason to buy the IS is because the rear wheel drive, no need for the awd. I have a 2023 V8 love driving it everyday

I can't afford the IS500, if I was getting a RWD lexus IS, I would get the is300 2.0T. But I rather get the 3.5 V6 AWD

Would you recommend this OR a 2024 BMW 230 with Msport package?
@tunedspec17403 ай бұрын
If you are choosing between the two I would go Lexus, Lexus is #1 I'm reliability and BMW is #1 in cost of repairs. BMW is gonna break down more often and cost you a lot more on parts and labor. Unless you got deep pockets I would go Lexus.

@@tunedspec1740 That was exactly what I was thinking about the quality part... I always owned nothing but Japanese cars (Honda and Acuras mainly) due to its reputation of reliability. But wanted to try a German car. When I test drove the BMW 230, I was surprised how well the performance was and the B48 engine is fairly quick. When I test drove the IS350, it felt smooth and even though it was a bigger engine (V6), i felt the B48 4 cylinder engine was quicker. I am assuming because of the added turbo. The interior of the 230 felt more expensive compared IS350 since they have not updated the interior for a long time. I guess it all boils down to do i want performance vs quality, However, I did hear that BMW quality has improved compared to the past. Also one thing to note is BMW has a 3 year free maintenance while lexus has only 1 year. Very hard to decision to choose. But given those factors, would you still pick the IS350?
@bj10jgo3 ай бұрын
i also considered the FL5 2024 Honda Civic Type R but the mark up on these cars are crazy..
@tunedspec17403 ай бұрын
Yes, I've owned German cars and they are over engineered and over complicated to work on on purpose so you bring them to the dealer, stupidly expensive. Again if you got money to throw around BMW is not so bad but your just paying to say you got a BMW. I used to have a 535I with 55k miles and it needed the transmission computer and it was 4.7K, I'm never buying a BMW again. If you are debating between the Lexus and BMW the choice is easy. Also if you want more performance I would go is500 or RCF. Great cars, often overlooked.

I would not pay any mark ups on any car and my only issue with the civic is that is a FWD, other that that its a great choice.
