Is The 2018 Lexus IS300 Really Awesome or Really Expensive?

You should do a review with Nathan. His sense of humor and your random observations would probably work really well together.

Sarah your reviews are getting better for sure. I like your honesty, you don't always see that with car reviewers. I also love that you actually wrench on cars and know what your talking about vs some reviewers who don't even know how to check their air pressure.

[@Twittavelli]

Shes really nice, reminds me if Deb from Dexter. My only criticism, is she needs to get a little more comfortable in her delivery, and less mechanical. I think that will come over time. I am loving her as an addition though.

[@nakedbandit]

Her quirkiness is quite endearing. I don't think it's so much a mechanical delivery style, but her true personality shining through. Love Sarah's channel.

[@ajsvmax]

Skyward 687 - at first I thought she said nobody wants C-cups in the face and I was like “I beg to differ”, but then I rewound it and heard her correctly. For the record she said “T-cups”.

Yeah, I own a lot of Saabs and it's convenient for me and my wife both to have the cruise control and wipers/turn signals all in the same place. No matter what vehicle I take the layout is the same, so it makes switching vehicles convenient. Builds brand loyalty in my opinion, and Saab had a big fan base, Toyota/Lexus does as well.

[@danielgalindo2714]

Ok you won me at 5:10 “driving modes do absolutely nothing what so ever” I totally agree w you Idk why they even put that on cars 😂

[@chooseymomschoose]

If you cannot tell the difference between drive modes, then you should not be reviewing cars. Dampers, shift timings, and idle speeds are all affected. It's not like she pointed out that these things hadn't changed (they do); she just didn't care/know.

The thing with the german competitors and double clutch gearboxes: as far as i know Porsche and VW are the only ones still using them almost throughout their range. Audi gets more and more to torque converter gearboxes, BMW is switching to them, (in the M cars too) and the AMG MCT is a more or less a n automatic with an automated wet clutch instead of a torque converter.

[@memedestroyer968]

Anonymous you're the creepest commenter here. Making a fool out of yourself is hilarious 🤣🤣

[@vnohelix]

I feel the AWD Lexus IS (Including GS, excluding the ES) is the most underrated AWD systems on the market today. You complain about the transmission yet it is arguably the best AWD system one can buy in a sedan.... "the IS250/350 AWD and GS350 AWD are using a planetary-gear center differential, plus a wet-type multi-disc clutch control to act as slip control. This is a very advanced and complex design. Because the multi-disc clutch can be 100% locked, it means Lexus’ AWD can handle the case that even front or rear wheels completely lose traction, than the rest side of the two wheels still have full power. The disadvantage of this design is it is complicated and the parts take space. Actually the IS/GS AWD are similar to an off road SUV - they have a separate transfer case to enclose the differential and the limit slip clutch unit."

[@thedefinitive6296]

Sarah's doing a great job. Would be nice to see her work more with the rest of the crew though. I'd love to see how she plays off of the other regular cast members. One thing I have to say...and I'm not directing this at Sarah...is that when auto makers were taking out physical buttons and putting all the HVAC stuff in the infotainment screen, journalists started complaining that they wanted the option to have buttons so they didn't have to go through layers of screen just to adjust the temp. Now auto makers having redundant physical controls and controls in the infotainment screen and this is probably the 5th review where I've heard a journalist say having the redundant controls is weird. It makes it pretty hard to take their opinions seriously when they are so fickle. Like...just stop lol

[@ARentz07]

For me, it's like, why even put them in the infotainment system if the functions are the exact same as the buttons. I've had this car (2016 MY, that is) for a while and never touched the in-menu controls for that stuff. No point, I guess unless the buttons broke or something.

[@ARentz07]

On the contrary, I like this style more than the usual TFL. She didn't have all the facts straight (like the engine code), but it was entertaining and didn't have un-funny jokes like the usual presenters. And I like the Goose a lot too, but he definitely has a different mission in mind.
