Turbo, RWD, & Japanese---2018 Lexus IS300 F Sport Review

[@Toyota4Life]

LOVE the futuristic interior on this Lexus. It's interior design is like nothing else on the market your never gonna sit in a Lexus and be reminded of another car. This is honestly my fav sport sedan in its class. I just wish Lexus made the high performance F model for this generation like they did with the previous V8 ISF.

[@bigden2755]

10 year old design..... C'mon, get real....

[@ビップレクサス]

@bigden 2755 What? How is it a 10 year old design? 3G Lexus IS released in 2014, its 2018 today. Its a 4 year old design and it still looks modern - especially w/ the updated 10.3 inch screen. Its still the biggest screen within its class. A4, 3 Series, C300, TLX, and Q50 all have smaller navigation screens. Do yourself a favor - go sit in all of the Lexus competition. Then speak. The Lexus IS and MB C300 interior are the two best in its class. The others in the competition aren't as good - in terms of modernism, functionality, and design. If you are gonna Lexus hate, hate with facts - not ignorance.

[@bigden2755]

Bippu Lexus " The Lexus IS and MB C300 interior are the two best in its class. The others in the competition aren't as good - in terms of modernism, functionality, and design. " ... and that's your opinion, Lexus fanboy....... Get serious.... " What? How is it a 10 year old design? 3G Lexus IS released in 2014, its 2018 today. Its a 4 year old design " ..... The car you're referring to is the IS 3rd generation of the model, Albert. The 2nd generation started in 2005 which carries same engines, same wheel base ect. ... Math never was your strong suit Bippu fanboy..... I think you're the one that has to differentiate between facts and IGNORANCE....

Such a balanced enjoyable car- drives like a dream.... test drove it against bmw 330i and audi a4. No other compact RWD turbo luxury sedan with a sporty edge like this beauty! And I can still easily get 27-33mpg with the 2.0 turbo ! Interior is so clean and modern. Infotainment is fine. I can easily play music or navigation from my phone or xm radio. Thats all i need.

[@ビップレクサス]

Good point. +1. The Lexus IS is the best handling car within its class. If you test drive it against the competition, it handles the best. But haters gonna hate. People still knock on it for no reason. I have heard people called the Lexus IS a fat boat.

[@ARentz07]

Those are the same cars I cross-shopped it with, and yes the IS felt the smoothest and most solid overall. Partly due to the V6 of course, but the suspension is a good balance of firm yet comfortable for dailying.

[@DeeRenaissance]

Nice! I personally enjoyed the 2 liter turbo 4 most :) did you get one?

[@ARentz07]

I have a 300 AWD, so I got the _detuned_ V6. Honestly coming from a Camry 4-cyl I find the power very much adequate. :D 6.1 seconds to 60 is actually pretty respectable in the segment anyway.

[@ビップレクサス]

ARentz07 6.1 seconds to 60 is *definitely respectable.* The entry-level trims tend do 6-8 seconds while the higher model trims tend to do 5-6 seconds. Its just rather annoying when you have those people that knock on the Lexus for not doing a 0-60 in the low 5s or high 4s. Its like they expect the car to run STi numbers while retaining Lexus comfort. Lexus was never the one to produce insane accelerating cars - they produce luxurious, quiet, comfort and reliable cars.

[@DisneyMusicVideos]

Great cars! I owned a gray on red 2017 IS200t F-Sport for a year & nine months. Bought it used in September 2018 for a great price $27,500 with 15k miles & was a big improvement from my previous 2015 Toyota Camry XSE V6. I originally wanted the 350, but the turbo was powerful enough. I replaced it in June 2020 with a white on red 2016 GS350 F-Sport which is a better car overall with a lot more luxury with a smoother ride & even better handling. I do miss my IS in some ways but had to replace it mainly cause I wanted/needed to go back to a bigger car with more space.

[@bvrrett]

That price was an insane steal

[@guedrini2045]

@@bvrrett what are your thoughts on $28,500 (final price after fees and tax) for a 2018 IS300 Fsport with 50k miles? Carfax are completely clean, 2 previous owners 1 being a lease, regularly serviced, and being sold by a legit lexus dealership. From what I’ve seen while searching it’s a great price but not too suspiciously good (but I’m also uninformed on overall prices and used Lexus specific prices other than what I’ve currently seen trying to find one to buy). It’s a very recent listing and the salesman was not being pushy at all which made me think he had no worries on finding a buyer. I put money down to reserve it while I research a little more for anything that may change my mind but I’m pretty set on it

[@ryanlittleton5615]

The refresh the IS got a year or two ago truly did wonders for the front end, it used to look truly hideous.

[@ARentz07]

:'( I like my pre-refresh IS

[@ryanlittleton5615]

ARentz07 To each his own. I really didn't like it, but that's just me.

[@travisl1759]

In certain ways the pre refresh looks better, you just need to keep looking at it to see it. New one definitely looks more modern and the shape of the grill is better

[@jbm0866]

An ex gf of mine had one of these, but it was a 2016 model that was called "IS 200T"..much more fitting name considering the 2.0t engine. Having said that, these are very nice cars if you appreciate them for what they are. People buying them for the extra gas mileage probably won't do any better than the IS 350 around town (we got about 19mpg or so) but the 32mph highway is doable if you simply use the cruise control and don't do a lot of passing. These cars handle quite well but they aren't for the fast and furious import tuner crowd...there is a lot of weight to overcome for the smallish 4cyl turbo. It is a very comfortable road tripper (if you don't mind the cockpit style for both driver and passenger) that doesn't fall on it's face when you hit a twisty back road...but it's not a sports car or a super plush luxury car. I'd say it's somewhere between, and that's perfect for the right buyer. With all that said, just pay a little more for the IS 350 instead. The gas mileage will likely be the same in real world driving and it will be a better experience when you put your foot down. (IS 200t/IS 300 red isn't bad, just not the power you expect for such a car)

[@neometero]

Love that big center screen, and the center clock is different, beautiful.

[@jennaduvall2060]

It’s official, this is my dream car!!!

[@guedrini2045]

About to buy a used 2018 IS300 F-Sport. I wasn’t even considering this car until a salesman asked if I had any interest and I thought why not. It was the last car I test drove, I fell in love with it immediately and stopped looking at the bmw, and couple Audi’s I thought I was set on. Put money down to reserve it as I research other listings and the car in general but I’m pretty sold on it and can’t wait to really drive with it.

I’ve owned the Lexus IS since the first generation . The car will last 10 plus years with no major issues. I can easy get 300 k miles or more on this car with no problem. The tires is the one reason I will not buy this car again. You can’t rotate the tires which are very expensive, I’m talking $300.00 each. But great driving machine.

Really good quality video! Keep up the good work!

[@joelcleare]

Looks identical to my 2016 IS 350 F sport. Real nice

[@ビップレクサス]

@joel cleare Incorrect. The 2016 IS350 F-Sport is pre-facelift. This is the facelifted model with revised headlights, taillights, bumper, and interior (IE: Navi screen is bigger.) Note: On other markets - JDM and EU Market - the Lexus IS 17+ models have Triple LED headlights as well. Its not legal in US due to regulations.

One down side of your review is you never talk about what you don't like about the cars. You give so much compliments that people think the car is perfect. Otherwise the review is good.

[@ModernDayMixtapes]

You're an awesome reviewer! Really loved and enjoyed this video, can't wait to check out some of your others!

[@evoxdream9101]

even though i already own a lexus is300 fsport 17, i def enjoyed ur commentary on lexus' newest iteration of the "300". def agree on the confusing rebranding scheme. if its a 4cyclinder, keep it at 200's etc etc. never the less, good job. clean review and easy on the ears. cant say i agree with their strategy on changing things up, but for the newest is gen, so far, although biased, 17's reigns. :) (only cuz im in Canada, and the awd v6 is plenty and then some)

[@abepowers4379]

I might be spoiled,being an LS460 driver,an d all.but even at 5'6" this ride is a tight fit for me.

[@shellcasing1040]

Wish they'd gone with LEDs for the turn signals!

[@VeneraSGF]

I noticed vehicle is single project xenon. Usually the twin LED or Tripple LED on Fsport. I’m also curious as in your video you mention the vehicle was equipped with auto high beam or Lexus’s IHB. However it clearly says on Lexus website for parts that the twin LED are the only ones compatible with IHB on 2014-2016 body not the single beam bi xenon. 2017-2019/2020 body they introduced the triple beam LED which replace the Dual LED. However the single Bixenon projector remained in changed besides from lamp housing bottom now flat. Weird how your IHB is working on vehicle lamp that it shouldn’t be compatible with. Even showed tech in dealer already

and I mean the 2018 ones

i was going to say the same thing! im like wait.... boost? is300? no way....xD - atleast not here in the gta (ontario, ca). i mean i know the is200T is booster and rwd... but is 300? rwd? boosted? didnt make sense to me as the 300's we're obligated to an AWD drivetrain and a v6. atleast to my knowledge (pertaining to where i live also).

[@SoniclayersMusic]

Would you take this car over the 2018 Mazda 6 Signature? Been going back and forth trying to decide. Mazda offers a lot for the money but the Lexus quality is hard to compare to.

[@dylanw890]

It’s a nice car but they have a long way to go in terms of their infotainment system. I would also like to see them smooth out the main headlight so it looks a little more uniform and not pinched as you work your way toward the grill

[@roberth7559]

beautiful exterior, but the navigation mouse was the reason i didn't pull the trigger - plus the location of the cup holders

[@spiriofmanu]

For me F SPORT = white color like in the comercial

[@H0LDENSUX]

The interior door handle looks like cheap plastic. Gone are the chrome materials one used for both the Lexus badge and the door handles. No apple car play is a deal breaker for me, especially given the standard it's now set for the car industry in terms of dashboard layout.

[@ARentz07]

The interior door handles are chrome-look.

[@PeaceNinja007]

I saw one of these for $21,998 but it had like 120k miles. Is this still a good price??

[@thtupid]

Do you know if that naguri style aluminium (what you called faux carbon fibre and sorry i'm Australian...) is real? The last time I got in I couldn't tell if it was real or not. Good review btw. I totally love this car! Too bad there's no sunglasses holder...I don't think... Also, do you think that your simplified headlights are due to US regulations? Because we (rest of the world) get the 3 leds in place of your central large projector style headlight and the LED fly's eye like turn signals. Only the base model has the same headlights as yours. You'll love the F-sport and sports luxury headlights...

[@ビップレクサス]

Real Aluminum. And yes, US regulations made it that the Triple LED beam lights are illegal in the US. Only US-Specs don't have this. I think Canada don't as well.

[@thtupid]

Bippu Lexus wow it's real? Nice? Thanks for that! I'm glad it's real actually because having fake aluminium inserts is rather cheap...I just wish there's a sunglasses holder in the car though!

[@ビップレクサス]

Lexus tends to get a lot of hate from people - especially since they fight a up-hill battle against the Germans. So a lot of "fan-boys" like to spread negative and false info on the Lexus. IE: If you look at the comments, a lot of them rally against the interior for being "outdated". However - the Lexus IS interior is one the most modern within the competition along side the MB C300 and BMW 3 Series. My point is - check out ClubLexus forums if you want a more clear picture of a Lexus vehicle before purchasing. Read what owners are saying - not people who don't own it. And yup. The IS don't have a sunglasses holder. Its strange. The GS don't either. There are DIY on ClubLexus to install an aftermarket one if you feel the need to own one.

[@thtupid]

Bippu Lexus yeah I really like Lexus interiors. But one thing that is lacking...other than the sunglasses holders...is the lack of mood lighting that even Volkswagen have now. But then again, it's a matter of a nice interior to look at during the day or at night kind of thing. The IS I test drove was just absolutely awesome. I love the size and clarity of the screen and, unlike most reviewers who spend at most a week or so with the car, I'm sure I will get use to the infotainment system. What's more important is the way it makes me feel. And for me, that feeling is special. And the exterior! The car is almost 5 years old now. But it still looks modern and like it came out just this year. It sure hasn't aged at all. Imho anyway. But yeah lack of sunglasses holder...hehe. inconvenient. But it's not stopping me from getting one.

[@thtupid]

Bippu Lexus one more question if I may ask...do you know what revolution the 2L spins at 100km/h? I can't find it anywhere! And. Forgot to take notice during my test drive! It's really bugging me! My Camry spins at under 2000 at 100km/h. Which is good. I'm hoping the 2Lt is similar too!

[@joewillgo]

You said the back seat is comfortable for you. But you didn't say how tall you are? I'm 6"5 and usually have my seat all the way back. My friends are the heights between 5"9 to 6"2. So that being the case would a 5"9 person be comfortable sitting in back of the driver (me) who is 6"5 who has the driver seat all the way back?

[@sshah2545]

The 200t sold in Canada doesn’t get the upgraded screen, nav, heated steering wheel, or Mark Levinson. Like it’s literally not available and never has been. So annoying

[@dsinghr]

why would someone buy those 3 series or a4s.. after seeing this. looks smashing in any color

[@JoeOf91]

did they ever update the turbo lag? i have 200t 2016 model and when you step on it, it lags a little.

[@adrian3747_]

I hve the 2017 200t and theres a lag lol

[@ARentz07]

They updated the ECU for 2018 models. It's supposed to reduce turbo lag and reduce throttle by wire lag, but according to owners over on ClubLexus there is still lag.

[@thepro08]

the more i see the interior of this car the more i want to buy it, but the front doesn't cut if for me. other than that is perfect if it had a manual and a nice diesel.

[@ARentz07]

The suspension doesn't lighten up when you go from Sport to Normal. That feature is only on the IS 350. You should correct the video.

[@ARentz07]

I'm sorry? Can you show me a source on that?

[@ARentz07]

Matter of fact, the suspension changes only happen when you go into Sport+. If the car doesn't have a Sport+ mode, it doesn't have AVS (adaptive variable suspension).

[@ARentz07]

"For performance engineering and dynamic styling, the IS 350 F SPORT offers an exclusive Adaptive Variable Suspension and a SPORT S+ driving mode, tuned for enhanced response." www.lexus.com/models/IS Sorry, only the IS 350 F Sport offers it. If you thought the suspension lightened up when you drove it, you might have just imagined it.

[@ARentz07]

I'm surprised you still haven't responded to this. Seriously? "WRONG"? If you are talking about yourself, then yes, you are. Only the IS 350 has AVS. This is a well-documented fact. The 300 and 300 AWD don't get it. I own a 300 AWD F Sport, I would know. It didn't have AVS as an option.

[@tubedude92]

i believe it just changes the throttle response and the shifting for the tranny correct?

[@TheDonYG]

They need to make this car bigger a little bit then turn it into an IS F. 600 hp flat at most, 500 minimum. No excuses. LC 500 got 470+hp they can make it happen

[@usernamealreadytaken770]

I’m hoping Lexus decides to put the twin turbo V6 from the new LS in this for the F version. That’ll be a great M3 competitor if they do.

[@michaeld5]

Thanks, very helpful.

[@L0stW0n]

Great video but I'll pass. It's 2018 it should have full led lighting including the signal lights. No Apple car play or Android auto is a horrible mistake on Lexus' part. This car is full of missed opportunities.

[@duytran-rz7yr]

Marlous B go buy kia then .

[@ビップレクサス]

Marlous B While I respect your Apple/Android play options, its not needed on high-end brands. The Germans don't even offer them as "standard" equipment. No one will pay $800 for Apple/Android play to replace the standard iDrive of BMW's. Luxury cars offer them for people who don't buy the cars loaded. Apple/Android play is useless. Only good feature is Google Maps and that's Android only. EDIT: The Lexus IS does have Full LED with LED turn signals. Only the US-Spec don't have LED turn signals because of regulations. Toyota didn't want to make an extra set for the US market. Secondly - you are gonna pass on a car because of a light bulb? Majority of the LED turn signals on the market are from 1-3 bulbs or using a relay to make the brake lights a turn signal. Its not an expensive set up, its cheap. You can buy LED bulbs yourself and do the relay yourself too.

[@tr7287]

Marlous B so true. My 2016 Accord has LED turn signals in the front.

[@유가영-p6b]

Hey! Kia Hyundai Motor is a weapon. Please don't buy it.

[@ARentz07]

I don't know why this one doesn't have LED lighting. The F Sport package comes standard with LEDs in the US.

[@omgitsme435]

I thought it felt rather cramped. The layout was really weird. The cupholders are near your elbow for some reason. Lots of hard plastic for a 50k+ car. Remote mouse was really weird and jumpy. Oh and god how I hated the center hump near the driver's side gas pedal, it is so intrusive and makes your legs sit at such an awkward angle.

[@ビップレクサス]

1) Its not a 50K+ Car. The Lexus IS300 sells for 42-43K OTD loaded. Lexus IS350 sells for under 49K OTD loaded. 2) There isn't a lot of hard plastic. There is soft touch on the dash, center console and doors. This car has as much hard plastic as the BMW 3 Series, which is not a lot. Obviously there isn't leather snitching every where because this is not a S-Class.

[@Jose-np1fl]

I like the sports mode but the only thing I don’t like is the hump in the back seat otherwise happy with my Lexus!

Suspension is like a rock ? Far to firm with no give whatsoever

I have a 2016 IS 300 AWD F Sport. I've also test-driven IS 350s. On those cars, the suspension is firm but never bouncy or harsh. It's perhaps a bit firm compared with a BMW 3-series with the adaptive suspension, but I think it also has better road feel. The IS is definitely still something I can commute every day in.

Its good to see you again. I got banned from ClubLexus due to the political forums. Well - its not what you think. I called out someone for not supporting Universal Health Care as heartless. Then I got banned for that. When I tried to reverse my ban, by saying there is a clear bias in the way you are enforcing the political beliefs here. I told him - a conservative poster told someone else that if you let illegals come in then you should get hit by a car. (Which is 100% worst than what I said. Calling someone heartless is not as bad as wishing someone harm) Once I told him that - he increased by ban and never banned the other guy. I'm telling you this because you were a cool guy I chatted with in the car forums. Be careful in the political forums - they will ban and control liberal comments. I'm all for a 100% moderate discussion but that place won't let you have a liberal idea or liberal voice. Until the mods change in Club Lexus, I will never return there. 90% of the mods are not Lexus owners and bash Lexus 90% of the time. (Have you seen how much of time trash the Lexus ES, IS, and GS?) And the unfair and bias policing of comments to their own beliefs.

I still can barely afford to feed myself. I'm trying real hard to get a better job, but I almost never hear anything back.

[@robertprall4627]

This is a nice car, but it just goes to show, how the front license plate, should be done away with, in ALL 50 States. So Ugly and so Antiquated.

i still don't get Americans and their front license plate struggle... everyone in Europe has one and no one complains

I agree. I was rocking my IS without a front plate for the first three months but then got a ticket while parked on the street and it wasn't even a street cleaning day!

[@MPowerSubie12]

Dude sorry but you aren’t a car guy. Car guys don’t start talking about how pretty the car is or cluster function for half the video and quickly mention the engine and shut the hood as fast as possible. I couldn’t believe how you shirt that was and what about the transmission? All you know is what google can tell me. No true history or true interesting engineering facts. Just same old information the whole time. We know how to operate it and drive it.

[@MPowerSubie12]

Forrest's Auto Reviews It’s what gets you from A to B and the first thing cars are for. Sure the engine bays aren’t pretty to look at and especially these days but the IS has so any options in terms of engine size, amount of gears in the transmission, and even the LSD RWD or perhaps AWD models for different preference types. These options make a tremendous difference in the ride quality. Technical specs are good to understand and people that are in the market should know about that before knowing how plush the dash materials are. FYI: At the end of everyday it’s the engine and trans that moves you not the useless interior gadgets.

[@papoopa5800]

I currently own a 2011 Honda Accord 2.4 sedan. I'm considering getting a Lexus. How significant an upgrade would the IS300 be?

[@evoxdream9101]

my mom has the accord aswell, the non v6 one. a direct comparison wouldnt be fair. two diff leagues. but if i may, the is300 (i could only speak of the 2017 version) has : better performance for sure, awd, sophistication with an aggressive flair (may it be the fsport or not), luxury feel rather than premium, tbh i could go on and on, but you ought to sit on 1 and see how YOU feel :)

[@papoopa5800]

EVOxdream if I get the IS, I’m really gonna miss the rear legroom of the Accord 😢

[@truf232]

Love the car. That engine is a joke though you can't put a 3.5 in and not have it produce 300 plus horse power kind of a waste of an engine if you ask me.

[@stetsongray5355]

The interior and infotainment looks like its 10 years old

[@BeesonsCars]

you're absolutely correct, my family has a 2017 Lexus GS350 with this infotainment system and I hate it. Sure it looks good and has a large quantity of features, but it's hard to use and feels much more dated than my 2007 Mercedes S-Class COMAND system. Actually, the map on my 07 S550 is much more detailed and has better graphics. It honestly shocked me how the Lexus Enform system is basically a widescreen version of Entune with the same map and a worse control method.

[@duytran-rz7yr]

Stopn being jealous if you cant afford

i sat in one of these and the infotainment was fine to me

IS THIS THE SAME AS IS200T?

[@usernamealreadytaken770]

Yes, they’re rebranding the 200t models to 300

[@evoxdream9101]

yah, its a shame. so if any1s in the market for 1, def look for a 2017 is300 fsport instead. where its awd, v6 255hp. lexus really screwed it up with the rebranding for 2018 i feel. just my opinion.

[@usernamealreadytaken770]

EVOxdream Eh, the V6 is really outdated and doesn’t have much tuning potential. The new turbo I4 has much more tuning potential.

[@evoxdream9101]

Samuel Wu u may be right. ive no doubt that a turbo'd 4 banger have quite the potential. however, i should have mentioned that from a non tuner standpoint (who still appreciates a great performing vehicle), from the get go the 2017 is300 is better imo. i dont plan on modifying the car what so ever so for what the car currently offers me, its plenty and then some :).

[@KhoiBoa]

If you got 40000-50000$ and you 5 feet 10 or smaller. Its a good buy. If you fat and taller its not for you.

Way overpriced at mid 40k. More like 30k

[@PatrickLino]

Ahhh yes that must be it. Thanks!

[@ビップレクサス]

45K for this Lexus IS is CHEAP/BARGAIN. The old Lexus IS from 2008 was 40K. For a 5K difference, you get so much more. The new Camrys loaded are 37K now.

[@chadnature81]

Its depend what u get,.I bought the is350fs..got that baby for 50k..I order mind..took a month to get it.

[@ビップレクサス]

Forrest's Auto Reviews If you count inflation, this makes the 3G Lexus IS300 even cheaper. This 3G Lexus IS compared to the 2G Lexus IS is a bargain. You are paying a 5K more for more tech, a newer car and plus inflation.

[@ビップレクサス]

Kyle Pin. 50K For a Lexus IS350 F-Sport is still a bargain. The older 2G Lexus IS was sold for about 45K OTD roughly. Both Lexus trim models have increased a rough 5K due to inflation and more tech. That's insane value. Compared to the Infiniti Q50 3.0T Silver Sport. The Q50 3.0T SS has a 52K sticker which is 12K more than a loaded G back in the day (38-40K).

Automotive trend. Bigger is better. It's nothing new. MB, BMW has been doing it for awhile.

[@ビップレクサス]

bigden 2755 Its not a "F badge" - its "F-Sport package". They are different. I like how Lexus gets hate for this but MB, BMW and Audi don't. IE: The MB C300 has "AMG-Line", BMW 3 Series has "M Sport Pack" and Audi A4 has "Black Optics" which none increases their power. So, based on your logic, how does a C300 only have sub 250HP with "AMG-Line"? Answer: All these packages are for appearances only, no power. Drop the Lexus hate, learn some facts.

[@18HunnidBK]

Bruhhh! This cars interior is boring for a luxury car. My Camry XSE fully loaded looks much nicer. That car gets compliments left and right

[@ビップレクサス]

Still Braz-E That's an opinion - not facts. The Camry XSE (2018) loaded doesn't not have a nicer interior than the Lexus. The 18 XSE uses 10x more plastic, smaller screen size, fake gloss material that peels over time, tinner lining on the roofs and panels, and etc.... This is not even scratching the surface yet of the quality of built and the knobs both car uses. Secondly - boring? No. The Lexus Interior is 10x more refined than anything on a Toyota. You really think Toyota will make their Camry nicer than their Lexus cars? I'm sorry but its business. A Toyota will never have a nicer interior than a Lexus. Drive a Lexus and you'll notice the difference. The Camry XSE is a good car, much better than the older Camry XSE. But don't go around saying the Camry XSE has a more luxurious and nicer interior than a Lexus. That makes you look bias and don't rely on facts.

[@ビップレクサス]

Forrest Auto Reviews Good short write up of the XSE Camry. Similar experience when I drove it. Its a hands down a good A to B car. However, it pretty much still drives like any other Camry. The 2018 XSE Camry is the best Camry out there but it tries really hard to be sporty and it fails at it. The 18 XSE Camry don't offer a good driving experience due to its FWD set up. I personally think the 18 XSE Camry is a bit rice with fake quad-exhaust too. Other than that - its a pretty good A to B economy full size car.

[@mohda.9420]

Why do you need that extra 0.x seconds to 60? Unless you were drag racing , manuals are the more engaging, technical option while often maintaining lower retail price and maintenance costs, and they allow you to hone and modify your driving skills as you go. I understand that there's a market for automatics, and that some people prefer them, but I don't think its fair or reasonable to say manuals are "boring and slower" and I CERTAINLY don't wanna see them die.
