Think overall package, folks. All this talk about power is overrated. 90% of drivers will not even come close to utilizing this car's potential. This is a well-balanced, superbly crafted automobile that is fast, refined and luxurious. Then again, luxury and refinement is not for everyone.
I like when my cars punish me...Seriously though I don't mind this car, it's a bit over-done on some of the styling cues, but performance seems good and the reliability of Lexus is a nice bonus.
Hmmm let's see.... They both run on gasoline, which comes from oil, which we know pollutes. But hey! Why pay 45 thou for a pre owned all electric Tesla, when I can foot the bill for the same amount on a vehicle that will end up costing more than it will ever be worth, once driven off the lot. Let me know which one you get, so I can sign you up for the gasoline, oil changes, transmission servicing, relief fund :)
Not a fair comparison. It's like comparing a CLA45 to a C350. A Mercedes CLA45 will be smaller and, If you only have $47,000 to spend, will not be as well equipped. Besides, the CLA is a FWD drive based car. Not many driving enthusiasts are okay with that, just the typical posers that buy Mercedes.
JackZakowski True, it's not a fair comparison, but both cars are targeted for the young consumer. CLA 45 AMG starts at 47k, well equipped. most "enthusiasts" wouldnt care for the extra goodies. "even though it's front-wheel drive in normal use, can send up to 50 percent of torque to the rear wheels--and it does it so smoothly, so transparently, you'll never think of it as a wrong-wheel driver" Plus the CLA has better numbers for mpg and 355 HP coming from a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. And not to sound like a badge whore but I would rather have the three pointed star than the slanted "L"
JackZakowski Lol. The vast majority of car buyers are not "driving enthusiasts". Lexus RX actually outsold every small luxury car other than the BMW 3 +4 series.
Brian cooley is the best car reviewer on RUclips!!! for North America

Love how Cooley a few years ago hated the knob with a click and loved the puck, but now he wants the opposite lol.
Cooley speaks the truth
Another great review!
cooley is the best reviewer on youtube
He's pretty good...but whines alot :).....doesn't really know how to appreciate upscale luxury though. Just my opinion. Have a great day!! :)
what does getting caught in top 2 gear mean? So its at 5th gear when you want to be at 3rd?
Why in Australia, we don't have the app suite?
Very good review best I ever seen
If Lexus's attempt to target younger drivers is to make a car that starts at $36K, they need to reconsider what young is.
High school and college students look at corollas.
lol
Price needs to come down

at 8:20 he looks like a giant
LOL he does
Sebastian Vedia he's 6'3" lmao
IF LEXUS WANTS TO GET EM YOUNG DONT OVERPRICE THEM
How is it overpriced? It's thousands cheaper than similarly equipped competition. If you want one young, stop being a moron.
Right wheel drive design
Love it
Ya OK!
Where's Cooley..... Oh his right there :D
Glad I don't have to read all the "man this guy sucks" "Where's cooley?" "No Cooley"
0-60 5.7 is EXACTLY the same as V6 camry lol
Wow $50k? That's very expensive
50k can get you this!
5:48
So that's what an engine looks like, what are all those tubes and wires, looks confusing:/
infiniti Q50 or lexus IS 350? Hmmmm

ill take a q50 because it looks much better and is more powerful
I rather get the CLA 45 ///AMG for $47k
