2023 Lexus IS 350 F Sport Night POV Drive!

[@abhisheknauduri7013]

That's a sexy ass car and it sounds amazing as well! This is the car I'm looking into buying at the moment. I have been looking at BMW and Mercedes but narrowed it down to this one

[@ditiprel4]

smart move. Did you end up getting it?

[@abhisheknauduri7013]

@ditiprel4 Yeah, I bought the 2023 Lexus IS 350 F Sport last July. Ultrasonic mica blue 2.0 with white interior. It's absolutely amazing.

[@ditiprel4]

@@abhisheknauduri7013 wow. quite a car. That thing should last 20 years no problem. You dodged a bullet avoiding the german cars. those need endless repairs

[@abhisheknauduri7013]

@ditiprel4 Yeah, I went with Lexus because I bought it and I want to keep it for a while. I thought about getting the IS 500 for V8 but it's a lot more and I don't think I really need that. I'm happy with the NA 3.5L V6 which gives 311 HP! 🔥 Such a good ride with comfort and smoothness. Picks up so well and so good to look at

[@NS416]

@@ditiprel4 Both my beamers making over 500whp lasted 250,000km on just oil changes and regular maintenance. Hell, they are still running strong. if you want a slow reliable car these are okay, but alot of these slower entry level german cars are very reliable, and drive a lot better + have better tech.

[@lluneytune]

I have the same car but the D.H.P version in the same color. This car is definitely a head turner, but could use some more power. The dynamic handling package is what makes this car fun to drive. It glues itself to the road and can handle the max speed of 133mph like nothing.

[@rook3364]

U need a tune it really open up the is350

[@S5MIKEY]

you need a tune and change the differential gearing to 4.08

[@Boidosu]

What tune to be exact? Ive been looking for some but theres not many.@@rook3364

[@willlewis4612]

Just purchased a 2023 is350 awd F-sport series 2 in cloudburst grey with circuit red. What this car lacks in tech it more than makes up with NA V6 and driver experience//refinement. Lexus has refined this for 10 years and is an absolute pleasure to drive. Great vids! keep it up! Cheers :)

[@keoncominthru]

I agree. The drive is nice. Thanks for the support!

[@TonioD49]

I got the ultrasonic blue with circuit red. People constantly comment on it.

[@x1bl0odman]

Not a fan of the interior, but my god, that exterior is enough for me to want to buy one.

[@Hike_and_Yap]

You can’t even see the interior

[@ChewableMeteor]

People really crying over interior lighting… hahaha

Buncha Normies😂😂

[@mizzyfit_334]

I mean you can install that

[@KingRen420]

I mean tbh.. it could be common in a fucking 45k 50k car now days.... we wanna see the inside a bit without it being a dark pit...

[@nrgonline]

Only young kids want interior lighting. 😂

[@stan7071]

i just got a 2023, shit is mad dark but it’s all good

[@beauallen272]

Working on my license now. Third class coming up Thursday, this car is my present to my self for getting my license. Thanks for the ride. You now have me considering red!

[@alwaysup22]

the red in person is spectacular

[@finessinhearts]

@@alwaysup22i just bet it is i wanna ride in one

[@mars56100]

I was just listening to a 2023 BMW M2 & Lexus is so quiet & refined compared to the BMW. All you hear in the BMW is the tires noise. All I hear in the Lexus is the acceleration of the engine.

[@SergCarReviews]

That's vey true, it's rather annoying at best! Also mate if you like Lexus reviews, I have plenty and a few with the IS350 😄 Feel free to check it out 😊

[@19320000000000]

Perfect video man. Quick question is that Atlanta, it looks like you were driving through downtown Atlanta?

[@keoncominthru]

Yea this was Atlanta. I love driving through the city at night

[@finessinhearts]

i love this car so much it's such a hot ass car

[@pierre-richardromain6708]

I love this red color or the white one.

[@ryb2189]

Love this car sure it could use some upgrades but it's still good.

[@keoncominthru]

Like ambient lighting lol

[@cruisertechgt]

You drive the car so well

[@keoncominthru]

If this is not sarcasm, I appreciate it lol 🙏🏽

[@brandonyoung-lv9ok]

You should buy some exhaust if you’re into making it louder. My personal favorites is the remark axelback (costs around 350-450, sounds aggressive), or the borla s type which sounds slightly better than the remarks, has no drone, and when paired with the apexi n-1 mid pipe it sounds just like a v8. This setup is my dream setup, but would cost about 2.2k.

[@s5.bryant]

I want this so bad.

[@phlose]

This is a nice car would you recommend it? Reliable wise

[@uhhTabby]

Yes, i have a 2018 and had no issues. guys at work with bmws and audis are in the shop every few months and i havent had a single problem with my 2018 is350

[@MattcanDougie]

are these stock exhausts? sounds amazing

[@jr1885]

That NA V6 sounds so good, but no ambient lighting on an 2022??? Come on Lexus.

[@keoncominthru]

I agree, and the seats and dashboard were the highlights of the interior.

[@hayden93]

Should add your own, either pay for it or do it yourself, cheaper than getting a package with ambient lighting for 1000 at least

[@ThatBigCactus]

That whole interior looks so dated for 2023

[@michaeldennis3028]

I knew that was Atlanta. Exit 249 and head to the Ponce bro 😂

[@JKyoya]

Bro this is my new dream car

[@keoncominthru]

It wouldn't be a bad choice

[@moonman_8935]

Bro I got the '23 IS500 it's my 2nd one I sold my '22 IS500 launch Edition.

[@keoncominthru]

Any upgrades? How are you liking it?

[@danobb]

I know its four months old, but I got to know: Did you do anything to the exhaust or does it naturally sound like that in the car? Cuz dayummmmmm

[@keoncominthru]

It naturally sounds like that when you put it in sport

[@azizkhafizov1711]

is it 6 speed awd?

[@cruisertechgt]

Hey man I was wondering how did you mount the camera? Is it mounted from the sunroof? Is your camera simply your phone? I want to make a similar video haha

[@keoncominthru]

I have a mount that I clamp on to the bars of the passenger seat headrest. Yes, that was my phone (galaxy s22 ultra)

[@ladislaualbert2807]

Would switching to Michelin Pilot 4S improve traction/ reduce sliding in curves?

[@keoncominthru]

Yes, noticeably. I have them on my Mustang, and it makes a world of a difference.

[@TheLifeOnHigh]

Why does some of them have the LED turn signals and others have the incandescent bulbs? Do you have to get the triple beam headlight option for LEDs?

[@hamdthehustler]

are you in Atlanta or no?

[@keoncominthru]

Yes

[@ProflexFitness]

Nice, I also had Matador Red but now I have CloudBurst Grey :)

[@nivrag00]

i am looking at the is500, but the one think holding me back is the interior. it looks dope, the seats look fine and all the trims are good, but the lack of modern tech like wireless charging or a large screen or, like others have said, ambient lighting on a car that is almost $65,000 is kinda crazy. So i’m thinking about waiting to see if a refresh or the next version will bring that. I don’t really care about new or used cars, so if the new one doesn’t have it then i can just look for a used one.

[@Quezyque]

so you dont see the large touchscreen in the video?

[@Dontknowshit]

He is full of it, if you sit in an IS500 what ever he mention don't matter is only distraction, I never care about the infotainment stuff or ambient light, I keep finding excuses to go drive my IS500 even the gas tank is 3 quarters full I still need to go get gas😂😂😂

[@albussnow]

with Lexus you sacrifice trendy tech in leu of timeless/simple designs that work well and last long

[@lavun9751]

Next Lexus IS is gonna be ev most likely this will probably the last of it sadly :( I work at Lexus and that seems to be the move for most of their future cars

[@lavun9751]

Either ev or hybrid

[@uptdc2008]

No ambient lighting??? Really Lexus for that price of this vehicle.

Test drive the Acura TLX type s

I will try to get one for a video

[@tommicoker8498]

Does anyone know an exhaust that's not too loud but still aggressive and won't get you into trouble with cops?

[@fable-I]

The Is 350 has a factory exhaust upgrade for abt 1.7k, when I purchased mine it was already installed and man does it sound amazing. Gotta do it

[@sathaire]

Looks just like my 2016 is

[@RicoGNSL]

I have this car exact in white interior

[@Hike_and_Yap]

So it’s a Toyota Camry?

[@megafaisal6261]

lol no the ES is a Camry cant stand that car…this one is phenomenal tho 🔥 more of a Corolla/yaris with a bigger engine than Camry 🥵

[@curseknight5]

Hi Keon, did you consider the TLX when getting the IS350? Would love to hear your experience about handling or why you choose either one. Thanks!

[@keoncominthru]

Hey. First off, thank you for supporting the channel. Also, I didn't consider the TLX. I would compare the TLX to the ES350 because they are around the same price and size. But, if I were to choose the TLX, it would have to be the type s. It's quicker, better interior styling, and has a 10-speed transmission. I'll rent one for a few days and do a review on it.

[@sgallegos702]

AWD or RWD?

[@keoncominthru]

RWD

[@John-tk6wd]

bro just wondering i know they are different cars but what would you choose this or a gr 86 thanks!

[@keoncominthru]

I would rather have this. I can't do the 4 cycl, and the Lexus was 🔥🔥🔥

[@John-tk6wd]

so should I keep my is350? I have a friend wants me to trad for his brz, I like my lexus though also 3.5 litre v6 pushing 300, 3rd gen though hehe. its essentially the same car interior and transmission wise. thanks!@@keoncominthru

[@keoncominthru]

@@John-tk6wd I would keep it. The IS350 is more of my style

[@John-tk6wd]

what do you mean by your style brother hehe, thanks for the replies, does it have a more upscale look? thanks @@keoncominthru

[@keoncominthru]

@John-tk6wd not necessarily upscale, but a more aggressive look. The gr86 looks like a cereal box toy lol

[@shonroyale5135]

RWD?

[@Chrisflores4000]

Or awd

[@akshatdev3596]

Just made the purchase and everyone is scaring me about how its a super underpowered car blah blah. Do you think that's true? its coming in a couple of days and I'm already getting buyers remorse

[@Mr99Burns]

It’s an old platform. You have to like old. If you’re coming out of a Camry etc you will love this. Just never drive a BMW and you’ll be fine 😂

[@joemilazzo7830]

Quick car not bad

[@oshitomaha]

Damn I’d get this so bad if it were turbocharged or twinturbo… a lil too slow for me coming from the S5

[@hossbonaventure]

There is a turbo model but I think what makes the 350 so great is it's just a factory tuned version of a legendary Toyota V6 that sounds so good naturally aspirated. Add in the rwd platform too it's just like the best all around drivers car you can live with.

[@danobb]

Is500 👀

[@PH-nw8bh]

Cool driving swerving in and out of lanes like a dbag.

[@joemilazzo7830]

This car needs a twin turbo and more hp

Dressed up Camry. lol

[@Ralldaruler]

Spoken by a hater driving a 2008 Sentra with different color doors…

[@willyohohable]

Hopefully, someone (or their family) is not killed or severely injured someday due to your reckless driving.

[@coldturkey3012]

The interior is mid and the tech is out dated. No ambient lighting??? For that cost it’s really throwing me off but everything else is great.

[@bj10jgo]

For $50K over car, you would expect more light in the interior.. smh

[@keoncominthru]

Agreed

[@wisdomsounds777]

😊😊😊😊

[@LCculater]

Where is the v8 😂

[@matthewalexis]

The 350 has a V6, the 500 comes with the V8

[@kalwillis8717]

🤤🤤

[@AndyRoss-z3t]

I really enjoyed my drive in this Lexus. Very nice, absolutely gorgeous looking .....but I was a bit surprised of how plain it drove. It's not that quick and in typical fashion, the Toyota transmission is slow to downshift despite the 3.5 V6 making some nice sounds. It's a lot of money for legendary Toyota reliability of course but performance wise, it looks far faster and performance orientated than it actually was.

[@thesuperstar4470]

I hate Lexus they are not making their car available in many countries

[@anilnizam1194]

I hate the big front end of that car its too much.
