[@zab4646]

Problem with everyone that drives an Acura, specially the type-s, is that they let of the gas while taking a corner. Don't let off the gas when taking a corner, that's where the type s shines. The SH-AWD is made to make the car push through corners like crazy, but if you let off the gas and try to turn it will understeer. That's the advantage the Type-S has compared to anything else such as g70, m340i, s4 ... Those cars if you push them though the corner they will start to either lose control or kick the rear while the type s will just push through. As for the turbo, the type-s isn't made to do straight line pulls, it's made to take corners and get out of them (canyon runs for example) so the turbo work better on lower rpm to push the car easily. People don't understand that the type s variants are daily/track ready cars, not just ''dailys'' or straight line.@@bosef1394

To the ones here comparing this with the IS 500, you're right when comparing it by price, but if you need a daily driver and want the luxuries and reliabilty, and just so happen to live in the north where you get Snow in the winter, the 350 AWD is a way more usable and sensible car for the average person to own.

[@Trades46]

The IS350 is an older design now, but even when I worked at Lexus this was my favourite car of their lineup. The 3.5L V6 doesn't make power until you rev it out but it sounds great and the chassis begs to be pushed. Ditto that AWD system - it actually is a permanent torque split that almost is like a WRX, which is excellent for winters.

[@paulac1234]

I have the refreshed 2021 model and have to say…yes it could be faster with the 3.5L V6. If they made 350hp to match the model name with about 300tq, would be the perfect daily driver. But since no car out there is perfect this is as close as it gets in terms of bullet proof quality built, reliable and great resale value for years to come. I’m happy with my purchase to this day and it gets me where I need to go in style and with moderate performance for daily driving around the city and highway. I have the white with the circuit red interior and always have a smile on my face whenever I get in and out of it. No regrets! IS500 is amazing but not the best choice for Canadian winters here, otherwise would have jumped on that model instead. Great review/commentary Topher!

for people complaining about the car not being as fast is it should be, i didnt realize it until i actually bought one but there is a little catch on the gas pedal so you actually have to floor it and then push past the catch with a little extra force in order to get maximum acceleration. it makes a huge difference. not sure the purpose of the catch but my best guess is a safety feature to protect the health of the engine.

@@TheRizzler_1 it’s just like a small mechanical piece that has some extra resistance and once you hit it with the pedal, you have to keep pushing with a little bit more force. if you look underneath the accelerator pedal in the car you can actually see it and push on it. it doesn’t have any sort of signal to the engine or anything like that but it’s merely just something to add a little more resistance.

I do like the stance these cars have right from the factory. I've seen a bunch of this new generation in my area and they sit real nice. In my anecdotal experience, it looks like a bunch of people spring for the FSport model because of the sporty look. I think this segment is good competition for the 3 series BMW. However, the M340i wipes the floor with the FSport is350. I prefer the exterior styling of this particular IS over the 3 series but I prefer the performance of the 3 series over the IS. The interior of the 3 series LCI is better than the interior of the IS.

Ive got an IS500 in that colour and it looks amazing, theres somwthing about the chrome window trim on the 350 though that make it not look nearly as good.

[@deejayspillz]

I did Chrome delete on mine. It’s all black now

I think the better choice if interested in this class is the M240i xDrive

[@JerkFace62]

Hopefully for 2024 they update the CarPlay/stereo with the new system. Then I’ll buy an IS500

I actually like the interior of my 2019 IS350 F Sport better. Despite harsh reviews, I think the mouse and the integrated display work beautifully. I don't care for touchscreen and the pop up display as it seems like an afterthought. Otherwise, same drivetrain any way.

I own this car but in white. Is it ok to use in snow with the AWD? How does it do?

[@aaronmorales6811]

Would you get this or the TLX ?

[@polyaplus]

i bet 60% of the people who come back here are doing so because of the POV, the view is just incredible

[@mikey.4is]

dude you keep on reviewing the AWD’s, the 8 speed in the rwd completely changes the car

[@ahmadahmal2942]

This is exactly the same as 2015 Lexus IS 350 F Sport but its sold at 2x the price...

[@Angel-iz8fr]

I'm on my 4 lease with the IS (2022) might be my last just because they're way to small on the inside.

[@minimack1000]

Can you turn off easy exit and entry for the steering column and seat in this gen?

[@wonderboy1998]

Oh ma god this car is so beautiful.. Something abt Lexus that makes my knees weak... I love this brand fr. Edit: Oh ma god these poeple that don't know how to merge...why you cruising while merging. geto out the way lady

[@notreallyjuan]

Upset you guys dont get a RWD to review :( I feel that the 8-speed transmission is a must for these cars, just makes it much better at most things

[@colintaylor4460]

would you say that there is more interior space in this or in a Corolla?

[@tempestsquall5882]

i do not like the new screen integration, wish it would at least go back into the dash with a nice little cover so i never have to see it, at least when im driving

[@ajf5745]

Why is everyone always testing the awd version. The rwd version has the 8 speed and is much more nimble.
