We've been looking forward to filming this IS300 for a while! If you want to check out Chris's review on this IS300 - here's the link on TheTopher: ruclips.net/video/y8Qt0NBhu4Q/видео.html
Future classic! Wonderful condition and was regarded as a pure straight six rear wheel drive sports compact executive, true competitor to the 3-Series before Lexus goes all luxurious on its subsequent models.
The IS300 has the best handling out of all the Lexus cars I drove… specifically the 2004 IS300 5 speed .. the car was so easy to park too cuz how small it is
I can relate, i had a job problem is i didn’t save up enough for a car. Don’t worry though we’ll get there one day, we can only go up from here and remember to SAVE MONEY
Nós não temos muitos carros pequenos de tração traseira aqui no Brasil (exceto BMWs). Elas são mais reservadas para pick-ups. Lembro-me muito desse carro no Need For Speed Most Wanted. Se bem que eu gostava mais do Cobalt SS como primeiro carro. Ele também já foi filmado por vocês.
eee , yea ain’t that cool. Owned thia car same color for 16 years then gave it to my son as his graduation present. He drives it to and from college, 46 miles daily.
One of my dream car I want one of these as my second car if I can get my hands on a is300 that would be great but if not most likely is 200 I would really want to have as they are more easily findable. I would get one in good st9ck conditon and keep it orginal maybe minor mods such as aupention and engine work. But I wouldn't make it a drift car. At my age people are thinking of getting a new car as their dream but I'm looking at older cars.
marc -- They're actually quite nice, especially for a Toyota product. 5-speed ISs came from the factory with a dampener on the clutch pedal. I guess since it was sold as a Lexus, Toyota wanted to make it seem like more of a effortless luxury car. It makes the pedal feel sort of vague, but you can remove it and the car will drive even better.
Puppy Cuteness -- $7k will net you a 5-speed IS300 with 180,000 miles, has been beat to hell, thoroughly trashed and (in many cases unfortunately) has a salvage title. If you want a nice one with the 5-speed that's never been modified, has the LSD, has lower mileage and doesn't have a melting dashboard, be prepared to spend at least $10,000.
vcm1992 -- Now THAT'S one hell of a deal. What color combo is yours? I've always wanted one in Graphite Gray w/the black, full leather interior and the slick pop-up nav screen.
AustinsAutoReviews , luxury sport sedan, so it is a little stiff, you can feel it on uneven roads but don’t hear it. handles corners well considering its not an all out sports car.

Got to love that engine sound when you’re shifting gears into the higher RPM at a good pace. Addictive.
Most Wanted's first and best car
When I crashed and totaled my is 300 this video helped me get through the months without her until she came home.
Future classic! Wonderful condition and was regarded as a pure straight six rear wheel drive sports compact executive, true competitor to the 3-Series before Lexus goes all luxurious on its subsequent models.
The is300 was the first car I purchased myself in 2005. I drive an RCF now but still kind of have the urge to buy a throwback to drive occasionally!
I like the sound that the 2JZ makes, It's sound like (or better) than a BMW 325i, It's an eargasm
I owned this car in this color. The instrumentation reminded me of a Rolex watch.
First thought, it looked like a true chronograph. Very cool.
The instrumentation i believe actually was designed by rolex. I could be wrong but i remember hearing that from someone before
@@SychicGamer i think i heard that too, pretty sure you could have gotten a watch along with the car as a paid option
I love the 2JZ sound, really love it
The numbers may say that the IS300 isn’t especially powerful or fast but it FEELS faster than it is. What a machine.
That is one ridiculously short throw shifter
damn why i'm in love with this car
Nice video of one of the best vehicles ever mfd by Toyota.
It sounds so sweet and smooth!
ruffcrane , it is one of the top engines ever made
The IS300 has the best handling out of all the Lexus cars I drove… specifically the 2004 IS300 5 speed .. the car was so easy to park too cuz how small it is
That sound 🤯
I had this exact car and spec new. Still regret selling it for a Z
the way it over steers at 4:20 is just wonderful
not oversteer
R6, MT, RWD what else do you need for pleasure...
Swift4Ghz -- It actually has an inline 6 rather than a V6. 2JZ, baby!
Has that too
I have the is200, with the 2L i6, its really fun with the 6 speed and lsd
@@JakeFromLateFarm Isn't that the BEAMS engine? I know the wagon version has the 2JZ but I'm not sure about the sedan version.
【 Chilael 】 : Both the sedan and wagon had the 2JZ as standard in the US.
I hate how short 5th gear is on these! It’s so aggravating.
Volvocloud this car needs a sixth gear badly
Lol I want a lexus
That watch style dashboard aged remarkably
Naturally aspirated 2JZ without turbo has beatiful sound at 1-3k and higher than 5k RPM
I watch this video knowing i cant afford this car or any car really.. i don't even have a drivers license. or even a job. smdh
In other words, you're not an adult yet. And that's normal.
I can relate, i had a job problem is i didn’t save up enough for a car. Don’t worry though we’ll get there one day, we can only go up from here and remember to SAVE MONEY
So get on the grind bro 💯
Who's there because he got this as first car in NFS Most Wanted
Holy shit my favourite Lexus. Thanks for making this video!
I’m in love with this car
Thank you for this video, I love the sound!
Sweet sounding!
So modern for late 90s early 2000s

Gonna build one of these to drift one day
is that actually a compass in the rear view mirror?
eee , yea ain’t that cool. Owned thia car same color for 16 years then gave it to my son as his graduation present. He drives it to and from college, 46 miles daily.
Where did you get binaural microphones or whatever that is?
Roland CS10EM on amazon
2.5L or 3.0L? quite powerful
Its a 3.0l 2JZ GE engine same one as the supra
but naturally aspirated
One of my dream car I want one of these as my second car if I can get my hands on a is300 that would be great but if not most likely is 200 I would really want to have as they are more easily findable.

How's the clutch and shifter on this car my dude?

Is it normal sound for this suspension?
i think this car has whining sound problem
Please Mazda3 Sport 2008!)))
😍
Prefer it with the 3SGE than a L6
This guy gets it (Beams Blacktop)
..we all do. .but 3SGE is rare in Europe and America....
Lucky bastard
Sounds like a old toyota blinker
How much is this car worth? In good condition?
Puppy Cuteness the souls of 7000 puppies.... Pretty much the equivalent of 7g's on Craigslist
marc Haha! Now that is funny lol

I bought mine a few months back. 5 speed, 134k miles, i paid 6k

try to test Altezza RS200!
How quiet are these inside on road noise?
AustinsAutoReviews
Pretty quiet, when I drive mine I feel like I'm floating. Best car to cruise in😌👌
AustinsAutoReviews , luxury sport sedan, so it is a little stiff, you can feel it on uneven roads but don’t hear it. handles corners well considering its not an all out sports car.
no, you dont start a car like that.
This car also known as Toyota Altezza.
there is no altezza variant of the is300... altezza have different engines, one is from the is200 and one is a 2 litre four cylinder called rs200
👌👍
All the clunking on gear changes and whining. Sound like the differential is worn.
you dont get in it as much anymore, i understand why though, it is dangerous, especially with an expensive vehicle such as that.
Clementine you don't get as munch what?
That Red Truck him going really fast
That Red Truck you know when he says let's get in it, he puts his foot down
V6??? Rwd???
Straight six 2JZ GE, and yeah it's rwd
nice. whats the 1/4 time?
15.4 with the manual and 15.9 with the auto
向こうではIS300って名前なんだねー
