I just went and looked at a 22 model this weekend. I was shocked how small it was. I think the styling is definitely one of the best in the Lexus lineup, however I walked away with an ES 350 F Sport. It had more technology and a back seat with leg room to fit adult humans.
Couldnt agree more. The IS for me wins looks hands down. But the ES does give you tons of space, both storage and for seating. I've always heard the ES models were spacey and I loved that as I'm normally hanging out with friends.
Beautiful car and I do love mine…now imagine this vehicle with panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, F Sport Stamped front seats, power rear view mirrors, HUD, Mark Levinson audio/Triple LED Headlights on all models, new infotainment (RX)….that would be a Lexurious launch for the IS 500/350 in 2022! Thanks for another Great review!
@@keltBTC lexus don’t sell well in europe unfortunately. And they mainly sell cars with the hybrid 2.5 liter enigines. But the majority of the people want the same..the big german three.
Nice show of your car. Beautiful color, wheels and dark tints on the car especially when it's clean. I'm thinking about getting this car when I move to Florida. It's just too bad that it doesn't have the Mark Levinson premium sound system. Overall, very legit....
I agree with the others, loosen up a bit. Awesome tone to the voice, perfect for reviewing products. I recommend a little modulation so it doesn't sound like 'Bueller, Bueller...' :-) Nice job!
@@CristianMendoza1 yeah great job with the overview. In the future i would like to know specs such as horsepower, torque and a view of the engine bay, though I suspected that it's all covered.
2012~ Now also I saw youtube car reviewer's, But your video is really good and nice ever ,Any other's yotuber's I like your working~~!! keep dothis ~~!!!
very nice car man but to have one here in NYC would not be a good move ..people don't care out here and will hit it.. but overall Great review esp. the trunk challenge
In canada it's 58 grand. Thats pretty expensive for a car that has a really bad interior. They seriously need to do something with the whole center console but I've always loved the outside of the vehicle. In my opinion it's one of the better looking inexpensive if you can get in a good price luxury cars out there.
Interior could have used a bigger update to its previous generation. But their exterior was a nice upgrade from even the great looking taillights of the previous version IS.
Everyone talking about interior but it’s a small car, and I actually like the way interior is except the track pad. I like the vol knobs and the buttons . Everything is practical
Yes, it is on the smaller side unfortunately. If you can get past that, its a great car. Makes me want to look at a Lexus ES, though it wouldn't have the Lexus IS looks.
Debating to either get this or a Mercedes c300…..not sure. The interior of the Lexus looks dated. But the exterior is stunning. Super stylish and sporty!
Yeah big fan of the exterior of the Lexus and the interior is similar to the previous generation. Though I think you'd be fine with the Lexus, but if you can wait, might be worth checking out the next Mercedes C class generation (2022).
@@redblade37 The interior is cool for sure, I just wish the the interior was redesigned if the exterior was. the interior is still very similar to a 2016 model. It was just my hopes we were getting a fully redesigned IS.
I’m waiting on 2023 hopefully they change something. Wish they changed the touch screen system like Audi. I really don’t like corner rounded edges. The bigger the better.
I have 2016 model. 350 F Sport. Features that you cannot get is no memory seats and a sunglass holder which I need. My next car will be Kia Stinger GT buy. Or maybe Mercedes GLE lease. I’m still on 34000 miles lol.
I was told it was limo tint. I didn't ask about the exact tint percentage but it was the same tint all around. And limo tint is usually referred to as 5%.
The car looks nice. The reason I opted for the previous generation was because I didn’t like the float screen on the current IS ( looks to tacky and thick) and the rear lights going across the trunk. Everything else looks great on the current IS. I ACTUALLY like the front end design better the the previous.
Entry level is the UX or IS300. And as far as driving dynamics, the RC and LC feel a little stiff and unbalanced. The LS and ES feel like you're driving a boat. That leaves the IS 350 and IS 500 as the only good options from Lexus.
@@CristianMendoza1 Check out the Lexus Driving Tour which actually happens in July in LA, but I know all the spots are taken already. I went to that a couple years ago and got to drive all the Lexus models. The GS F was the best.
Sometimes cars are compared by price or by size. But this would be more comparable to the 3 series. Both are small sized sedans. 3 series is a good comparison in respect to this car.
Late response but great question. Look wise, I'm in love with the styling. Power is okay for its price range but I do like a little more speed. Comfort is good but I will say the back seats are on the smaller side. For Uber, it would be fine, but if you want your occupants in the back to have decent space, I'd look at the Lexus IS's competitors or try and make a trip to a dealership to see how it feels to drive it and the back seats. Especially since you mentioned you'll use it for Uber.
Nice video! 😊 still I prefer my minimal Scandinavian design Volvo S60. This is just too much design and details and definitely not my taste. Greetings from Sweden 😎🇸🇪
Aye I least I’m not the only one who appreciates a nice closing sound of a door or a trunk
Haha definitely.
💯 agree
That color and wheels are perfect!!!!! 🤩
Couldn't agree more. The wheels and iridium silver compliment one another.
Yes😎
Magic.
@@CristianMendoza1 what name the color?
@@lalutamrin2058 The car color is Iridium. Wheel color is Dark metallic finish.

I got myself the es350, and got my wife the is350 fsport. She likes a smaller car. We use mine when we need room and hers for a little fun

I got mine in cloudburst gray with a red interior. Takes a lot to get used the red. I’m always a black on black personality. Thought I’d switch it up
Great review!
I have the 2013 model
but man..this redesign is just stunning to see
too bad they don't sell it in europe :(
oh really??? why they dont sell in europe? :(

This car has no fake vents all are functional
You look like you are about to burst out laughing the whole time. LOVE it :) Great vid, pal!
Thanks! Fun time always doing the video with a friend.
Nice!! Looking forward to the IS500
The IS500 should be interesting. Definitely interested in seeing if I can get my hands on one in the fall.
It’s going to be 90k they Say
@@tonydennis6914 i doubt it, that close to the lc price and tbh the rcf is a better choice then

Get one thoses cell phone holders that mounts in climate control vents. I love my 2018 350 f sport, the slight cleaner redesign is on Point 🤟
Wow, this Lexus entry model is absolute beaut! The color and wheels are just perfect. What a shame it is not available in Europe though.

Totally agree.
Randomly watched this video liked and subbed work on some editing and you can go big!
Was seriously considering this car till I sat in a IS300 and found out that the interior is tighter than my wrx.
Yes, it is on the smaller side unfortunately. If you can get past that, its a great car. Makes me want to look at a Lexus ES, though it wouldn't have the Lexus IS looks.
@@CristianMendoza1 I'd say go for a used LS500. The ES is just a luxury version of Camry.
@@CristianMendoza1 The ES feels like a boat to drive. You won't like it.
Beautiful car, I’m thinking of getting one only thing is I wished it was a bit faster.
There is always the IS 500. Though for more money.
Keep up the work! A tip from me is that you are too stiff, take it easy more relaxed!
Thanks! Good feedback, also noticed that as well and I'll continue working on that

It's ether the 500 or an m3 for me I'm seriously going crazy between the two
Entry level? That’s an expensive 1st car for an average American. This is no doubt beautiful.
I have the same car. I placed a black wrap on the hood and roof top.
Yeah the entire roof black would look 👌.
@@CristianMendoza1 : ) ..... Enjoy your awesome car, definitely a show stopper, and fun to ride!
Would love to see the picture of the black wrap hood and roof. I’m debating between getting is350 black or silver.
Lexus needs to hurry up and update their interiors already
Subbed! Love to the review 😁
Thanks for watching!
Really wished the interior was fully redesigned.
IMO Other than maybe the dash the interior is great!
@@redblade37 The interior is cool for sure, I just wish the the interior was redesigned if the exterior was. the interior is still very similar to a 2016 model. It was just my hopes we were getting a fully redesigned IS.
Is there a 20" pkge on those wheels? Same color?awd in F Sport available? Is that big ugly touch screen retractable?
Beautiful!
Broo, very good review keep it up👍👍👍👍
Thank you! I'll keep improving.
what do u pick up, this V6 or the 2.0 turbo petrol engine ?
Good detailed review

Great job man, one piece of advice is to slow down a bit.
Thanks, I'll take this into account for future videos.
@@CristianMendoza1 look forward to watching! Keep up the good work mate!
What % tint do you have on the windows and windshield? Looks nice.
They had limo tint which would be 5% all around. If I remember correctly, the front windshield was untouched.
Nice color 🔥
Mean looking rig
I gotta ask... do they have this car in AWD ?
Yup, there's an AWD model for an extra $2,000.

Yes its odd seeing cars missing sun glasses holder or at least somewhere to place them.

Sounds good. 👍
are you kenyan,,,
What kind of mic are you using?

Thanks! Yeah I think white would be my secondary choice. Possibly the red.
Great bro, hope you all the best
Thank you, you too!

I don't consider my $60K loaded IS350 as an entry vehicle. Especially how well it drives. Maybe a basic IS300.

He said “here” like 63 times in this video lol
hey, can you please get back to me, what Tint level do you have on the sides and back!. thank you, ordering soon and wanted to know

Do you know the tint specs for the Lexus
It had limo tinto all around besides the front windshield. Which would be somewhere between 5-15%.

Hi, wonder that do you possibly to let me know the color code?
The color is called Iridium. So the color code should be 1L2.

i fux with that silver exterior

Everything else looks great on the current IS. I ACTUALLY like the front end design better the the previous.
Why no seat memories? Not option?
Subbed cool review
Thanks!
Did you finance or lease?
It even has touchpad rocket control
The exterior design is amazing but man, the interior needs some updating.
Yeah I agree, they could have done a bigger update to the interior compared to the previous gen.
Entry level is the UX or IS300. And as far as driving dynamics, the RC and LC feel a little stiff and unbalanced. The LS and ES feel like you're driving a boat. That leaves the IS 350 and IS 500 as the only good options from Lexus.
Thanks for those details. Yeah I'd like to try the LC sometime as sitting in them feels really nice in terms of view and how the seat is configured.

almost at 100 subs!!
why no full shot at least 10-20ft away
I'll consider that for future cars.
What type of tints does that have?
Is this car in the same class as the BMW 3 series or 5?
Sometimes cars are compared by price or by size. But this would be more comparable to the 3 series. Both are small sized sedans.
3 series is a good comparison in respect to this car.

True. Manuals continue to dissappear across all manufacturers.
@@CristianMendoza1 I have a strong feeling that this is just a phase and is going to make a return as” fad”in the near future (cough cough CTS-V )
