NEW LEXUS IS300 vs IS350 vs IS300h - LUXURY & F-SPORT - FULL COMPARISON COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW

[@hmd6202]

Just bought a 2021 ultra white IS350 F Sport fully loaded! Every second in that car I'm smiling ear to ear. Couldn't be happier!

[@SergCarReviews]

Helio!! Mate! Congratulations!!! That’s soo exciting 😄😄 Mate send me some photos on my Instagram @serg.ss 😄😄

Ayee, Congrats 🎉 ill know what you mean soon enough

[@rociobieber15]

How have you felt about it over the past two years?

[@tizmon]

It’s obvious you love the car and it means you are sensible, practical and non-racist. Considering the feel and reliability, IS make great sense for those who develop attachments to what you use and own. I love my wife’s 300.

[@SergCarReviews]

Hi Tizmon, firstly thank you so much for watching I really appreciate it :) And thank you for your kind words!! See you on the next videos :D!

[@goran2009]

Im seriously considering new IS, I love the way they look...

Mate!! Go out and test drive one i think you’ll enjoy it more than you think 😄!!

[@SumChap1]

I've had mine for a year now. Best car I've ever owned/driven. Great fuel economy, good performance and extremely comfortable. Also the boot is way bigger than you think it will be.

[@aspotz]

Awesome job! Your sway test in the 350 was between Normal & Sports+ mode and it was a significant difference. From your experience, can you comment on any differences you observed between Sports & Sports+? In the US, Sports+ requires dynamic handling package and I’m not convinced the AVS with Sports+ will make all that much of a difference...

[@SergCarReviews]

aspotz Hey mate, Firstly thank you so much for watching 😄! Now I am actually a big fan of the AVS! I actually do find a difference between Normal/Sports and Sports +. I’m not going to say makes it that much stiffer but I’m a big fan of low cars and as little roll as possible and the AVS definitely helps. I actually find myself for daily driving putting the car in Customise mode and having the engine on normal but the suspension on sports so I can still drive the car without revving hard in traffic but getting less roll around corners. Again it’s a marginal difference and it really will be what do you prefer and how you drive the car. Let me know how you go!! If you want feel free to get follow me on my instagram @serg.ss 😀

[@MD-vy9jb]

Just FYI, since I see a lot of reviewers not getting what the manual "gears" are for and they say they're useless. They are not. It is indespensible in the mountains during descends, when you really want to save your breaks from overheating. Pointless for acceletration, that I agree with - people tend to think the car will accelerate better if they handle the gear switching, which is not the case at all.

[@SergCarReviews]

Hey MD, you would love to watch my drive on the IS350 on the mountains. If you do watch it let me know what you think 😊

[@DLPTonyATL]

[@pozejstroniedrogi8702]

Great video, I'm sad, that we don't have new IS in the UK anymore. About Your acceleration test IS300 and IS 300h. In fact, both of them get to 60 in about same time, at least according to outside view. The truth is, IS300h 0-60 time is about 7.5 sec in real time. The filling is different, thanks to eCVT gearbox. IS 350 is a beast. Isn't it?

[@SergCarReviews]

Hey Po! Thank you so much for watching! And yes no longer in Aus either since just after I made this video!! And man the IS350 is just a beauty!! Have you seen my individual review on it yet?? 😄😄

[@Jonsk111]

If you are used to driving economically is300h is the smoothest and the most addictive one. It also has enough pull to be practical.

[@SergCarReviews]

Thank you so much for watching! I couldn't say it is the smoothest as the 4 cylinder is pretty harsh when revving even up the smallest of hills but yes it definitely has enough pull to be the most practical! Have a great day!

[@Jonsk111]

@@SergCarReviews yeah I meant it mostly because of the e-cvt. I hate cvt:s but in these hybrids they are nice 👌

[@SergCarReviews]

Definitely much better than most! Also feel free to watch the other IS videos I have there is plenty 😄

[@10jmsoccer]

What are the differences between this and the US version?

[@SergCarReviews]

Hey mate! Firstly thank you so much for watching 😄 Now depends which model you are looking at like our Base models come with so much more standard equipment it’s amazing! But your base price is a lot lower. I know like on the F-Sport we have tri led headlights, led turn signals and so much more. Our Luxury mode has a bigger screen as standard and heaps more stuff too. There’s heaps of good reviewers, I would recommend Doug Demuro but he’s rather biased against Lexus but plenty of others 😂 Thanks again for watching and hope to see you on the next one 😄!!

[@JJS432]

Too bad you guys don’t get the full F-Sport version we have in North America. BBS rims and carbon fibre spoiler!

Hey George! Welcome back 😄 How good is the exterior!! I’m loving the design the more I look at it and photos/videos don’t really show how good it looks!

[@yes8032]

@@SergCarReviews yes my friend I enjoyed the video 👍

[@oot007]

Disagree. The interior is a timeless design and the closest thing to a budget version of the legendary LFA in terms of appearance. Clean horizontal lines and an attractive vertical centre stack in perfect proportions. Compare that to the ES which has weird diagonal and odd lines and looks old already.

Those safety assists are extremely for the best, and dangerous for the worst. Especially for a driver knowing how to drive. This "all heil security" trend needs to stop. The most dangerous thing comes out the exhaust, and, ironically, putting more and more security features in the car will only make it worse.

[@SergCarReviews]

Hi Bob, Firstly thanks so much for watching :D And i understand where your coming from! I was just driving the ES today and was reversing into a spot and the emergency brake came on for no reason (yes an emergency reverse brake)! Anyways the safety systems are there to assist and not take over but some people could be relying on them a bit too much... Anyways hope to see you on the next video :)
