I bought my 2006 IS250 Executive 1 months back, never been this fond of a car before, totally in love with it... sexually.. always peeking out the window, looking at it. It has the same features as this IS350, just not cooled seats and that weird sunshield in the back.

Agree and i think over it is way better looking then the 2 gen Lexus IS. I don't like the current Lexus IS exterior design look really weird.

[@MartyMotoring]

Thanks! I appreciate it! I got the wrap from VVivid Vinyl, it is their brushed aluminum

[@GreysonJonczyk-LEGIT]

I saw a video recently that really blew my mind about this car. I have an 06 IS350 and realized there’s vents that cool your brakes as your driving. So wind flows through the vents and onto the brakes to cool them off.

[@MartyMotoring]

Definitely a great design for its time

[@TonyDelMonte]

Hey, nice video. A few additional points: There is also another cupholder inside the front armrest. The IS was the first car in its segment to provide heated and ventilated (they're not really cooled) seats. Before that, you had to go two segments above to see that (S class, LS, etc.). ECT stands for electronically controlled transmission, not throttle. The rear view camera does have the lines on the screen when you reverse, at least on my 08 (in the UK). One of my favourite voice commands is to automatically set the temperature. For example, "22 degrees", and that's it. The directional and self leveling Xenon light were also pretty cool back then. In Europe it was also sold with a horrible diesel engine that gave a very un-Lexus like driving experience.

[@howardm5759]

Picked up a 2011 IS250 AWD a few months ago with 100k miles on the ODO. Great car with decent performance for a small v6 - smooth transmission and a solid engine. Mine is the sport package so it doesn't have NAV or memory settings - does come with leather seats/moonroof/dual climate and power everything. Shame it doesn't have the little extras though.. even my 2012 TSX had memory settings and a more updated dash/console area for infotainment.. overall a reliable beauty of a car.

Lol, I can say I am more and more leaning to buying one in 2 yrs or so. Newer model, maybe a 15 or 16 but I want something fun and luxurious all in one as well as the great reliability I am finding with Lexus / Toyota brand. The cooling seats are a def deal maker for me being in South Florida. Man would that make my day. Also it was great finding this channel, shown on Scotty's channel.

Really searching for a BMW 3 series but the features with this car are so much better!

[@9485881]

I had an 07 is250 but got a 08 350 cause it was obviously the better choice. I’ve had the car for a little less than a year and am so amazed at how much more fun it is to drive. It also came with f sport everything ( suspension, rims exhaust , intake) with 60,000 miles and man these cars are pretty solid. If you want a luxury car with pretty standard features that compares to modern cars in the same price range and is fast enough to have some fun this is the 1! And did I mention they still look awesome 10 years later?

Dude... I love my 07 IS350. Ordered it new from Japan. The only thing I would like is the Bluetooth adapter built in for music. Other than that, it has everything that one needs. On the voice commands, you can ask for gas stations , coffee, or fast food and those icons will show up of their locations.

[@64-bitMicro]

That's awesome, I just learnt two things and found another; (08 JDM IS350) 1) Holding down the TRC button long enough does actually fully disable both traction control and VSC. I had previously tried this and noticed it just turned off TRC and that it came on again as soon as I changed gear. So I had been using the 3 on/off of the park brake, then 3 on/off of the foot brake method, which does disable TRC but not VSC. Very happy with learning this, just went for a test skid to confirm I do have an LSD in the rear like I'm supposed to, even if it's only Torsen and not a 'proper mechanical ' type. 2) Holding down the unlock button on the key does make the windows roll down. Does yours also roll the windows up if you hold down the lock button? Mine does but it has this annoying feature where auto up on the drivers window makes it open again about an inch after it rolls all the way up.

[@MartyMotoring]

That's awesome! Yup, if you press the traction button, the traction control will be disabled for up to 20-30 mph...but holding it down for 10 seconds also turns off VSC! I love the windows down feature, but I haven't gotten mine to go back up...maybe it is a JDM feature.

[@nickbogey1112]

saw you in traffic a couple months ago, just realized it was you as soon as i saw the 3fiddy license plate

[@MartyMotoring]

That’s great 😂

[@64-bitMicro]

ECT is "Electronically Controlled Transmission". This is super common on JDM cars, Nissan and Toyota autos for example since the late 80s. It basically just increases the shift threshold of the transmission, and decreases the kick down threshold. I would be interested to find out if it actually affects the throttle in any way.

[@MartyMotoring]

Are you sure the T is for Transmission? I read somewhere it is "throttle" - since PWR makes the gas pedal more responsive and SNOW makes it less responsive.

[@64-bitMicro]

Unless they changed the acronym, but it definitely used to stand for Transmission (at least for Toyota and Nissan) dating back to before the cars had 'drive by wire' throttles. Back then 'snow' would also sometimes be written as 'hold' which would hold a higher gear and not kickdown a gear as easily, basically just a toggle to switch the shift 'program' of the transmission itself.

[@vel6979]

Marty Motoring that’s what it is it makes the gears longer

[@64-bitMicro]

I agree that the throttle does become much more responsive with ECT PWR on, that's a nice little feature Toyota added there!

[@TexMoto]

The T in ECT is for Transmission. Raises line pressure and shift point,

[@user-fl2ug7sr3t]

1:58 Mercedes does, they have heated and cooled since 1999 I believe. Edit: really loved the video BTW. I subbed.

[@phillipkelley3513]

Nice video and car. If the car has the Mark Levinson system then it will have his signature on the faceplate of the audio system. It will be located to the left of the Load button..

[@rhmullen]

Hi there! Saw your video and was reading through the comments. Nicely done video. I have a 2008 IS350, also black, loaded, looks quite similar to yours actually. Just thought I'd clear a couple things up: The lines you are referring to on the display while using the back-up camera is actually a separate option known as "parking assist". It's kinda dumb IMO (and I do not have this option either), but basically the car will have the back-up camera regardless, but if you have the parking assist option- it will also have the sensors in the rear bumper, as well as the lines you are referring to on the screen while the camera is in use. Another thing is it appears you do not have the ML audio, but no huge loss there other than the dash unit also having DVD playback capability (I have mine rigged to allow it to play DVD's while moving where normally the car must be in park). The Pioneer stereo is just about as good, but you don't have the rear surround speakers or the dash center channel speaker. Basically the door speaker configuration is slightly different for a net difference of only 1 speaker. I also have the luxury package just like you with the rear power shade, etc. Nice car, and cool to see another like mine! What area are you in?

[@MartyMotoring]

Hey there! Thanks! They are nice cars for sure. Ah parking assist 🤔 Mine has the front and rear bumper parking sensors, but I guess it doesn’t have that exact option, so no reverse camera lines for me. My brothers 2008 ISF doesn’t have any lines, either, even with the same rear parking sensors. I guess I do have the Pioneer then since mine does not play DVDs. Still a great system and sounds awesome. My sub still works great, too, after all these years. I thought there was a center dash speaker, but I could be wrong on that. The luxury package is definitely nice! I’m in souther central PA - not too far from the Maryland line

[@rhmullen]

@@MartyMotoring Hi! hmmm, now you have me wondering- maybe they don't have the lines at all, but I know the sensors / back-up assist was an individual option. I live in Pittsburgh! Would be cool to catch you guys at a car show sometime. What's the next event you plan on attending?
