@@bigdlife86 I think my biggest issue with the lexus is it doesn’t have an AWD option, which is key for me since I drive in cold weather and AWD really helps (my current mazda is bad in snow, I wouldn’t risk rwd on a 50,000$ car). However Lexus has an amazing sound system that I like and the interior is quiet( I listen to podcasts a lot).

11:14 I am 6'4", test drove this car today, and I felt quite comfortable. I just lowered the seat so my head would not hit the roof liner, and telescoped the wheel all the way out. In drive the transmission was pretty slow to do a 2-gear downshift, but using the paddles (or the gear shift knob which also changes gears) the transmission was then satisfying quick. I have not seen a dyno chart, but I am guessing that below 3,000 RPM there is not a lot of pull, but that the engine was designed to deliver power at higher RPM's where the engine sounds glorious. As to the suspension, it was more capable than I was expecting. Not a track focused car, but compliant and decently capable in the twisties. Lastly, this car feels really solid - as if it was machined from one big billet of steel which gives you a feeling of utmost quality. Tech-wise it is not current, but if you want a car with a wonderful sounding V8, GT road performance and feeling of rock-solid build quality, then test drive this.

RC F front brakes are a direct bolt on and the whole kit (pads rotors calipers) can be purchased from dealerships for ~$1300. Potentially 23+ rcf rear brakes will work on the is500 as a direct bolt on as well, due to them receiving an electronic parking brake like the is has.

Very good video, I like the fact that it has Dual personality. About RC F vs IS 500 and the whole IS F talk. I feel if they added the F parts the car price would have shot up and since this seems like a special design skunk works project makes sense they did not do F. It would have been amazing if we had the full F for 68K, RC F with Premium package is very temping but it's 80K, and that is a full track car, hard to be practical on street and perhaps more expensive to maintain due to additional coolers and expensive brakes. The IS 500 even has the RC F / GS F front end although rear is a mix of AL + Steel unlike GS F and RC F with full AL back. Only issue I have is no Semi Aniline leather only Nuluxe sadly.Still I think this is the best car for me esp in 2023, that 2UR GSE with good reliability on the Aisin AA80E plus the quality build. Thanks for the solid video this beauty deserves it.

I have a 2013 Accord in which I use 5W30, because it consumed way too much oil when I was using 0W20. It was a TSB issue, out of warranty of course, for which I had the head rebuilt at 101,000 miles.

It's the last N/A V8 sedan. I like to think of the IS500 as the 4 door plush Mustang, cause this and the Mustang are quite similar, both have a high revving 5.0L V8 that sounds amazing, both are RWD, both weigh around 3,900lbs. The IS500 is pretty much a Mustang in a more upscale and more practical package, the IS500 is around 10k more than a 5.0L Mustang, but you'll get a more premium interior, more practically and a more comfortable ride than you would in a Mustang.

Unpopular opinion, but I soooo prefer Sport S+ and Manual mode over everything else. In that mode I'm reminded of the super mechanical/analog sound and feel of my dad's 1973 Plymouth Road Runner 340 with a manual 4-speed gear box. The clunkiness of the transmission in that mode, from a freaking modern car, is bad ass to me. Love it. Love it. LOVE IT! 😀 Split Personality (Jekyll/Hyde) is the best characterization for this car and it will be a lot of things for the few who can get their hands on one.

I don't know anything about any Lexus. Don't even think I've ever ridden in one. But listening to everything you've said about this car, it seems to be a competitor to - or at least in the same smallish sport sedan segment as - my new Audi RS3. I always like to have one car in this category in my garage. Maybe in a few years when it's time for a replacement, I should consider this Lexus?

@@kenchen704 the driver side door rattle is a common thing with this gen of IS, I have it occasionally at certain speeds with my IS350 too. it's very faint though, with music on at any volume you don't notice it and apparently there's an easy fix for it by removing the window switch trim and adding some padding underneath around the plastic bits.

Great car, I have a deposit on one. The only thing I don't like, I don't want the BBS 'optional' wheels and was told they are pretty much all coming with the BBS wheels for $2450 from the factory. I'm not a fan of being forced to spend $2450 for wheels I really don't want. That aside, the car is awesome and totally fun to drive.
