They are definitely trying to keep the IS updated. Thanks, justin bouche.

Thanks, Fair Trade. We appreciate the kind words. And thanks for watching, too!

selerim I'm thinking of trading my accord coupe in for one of these used but cant decide if I want the is or rc 200t

I really wish this car was available in a manual.

selerim I’ve seen some in that price range as well. Thinking of getting one with my girl.

I'm thinking about getting rid of my ss. I think these Lexus are really nice. I like luxury, comfort, and more room. Also the Lexus would be better on gas too lol. V8 drink gas.

KingDolla89 *Ha tell me about it.*

Sure do, Carlo Garcia! Fortunately, the used car market helps to pay the bills, too. :) As always, thanks for watching!

You are probably correct, blane237, and Chris began wondering the same thing after reviewing the footage during editing. We appreciate your comments. Thanks for watching!

Thank you, Alek PD. We appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching, Nelson Modiba!

haha im looking for one aswell. hard to find em with less than 60k miles tho

Thanks for watching, Finn Baker!

Caleb Pike if you you use auto trader it’s pretty easy to find em for 20k

@@ayooooooob3090 in my area (NC) i see 47k miles at $26k :(

I got mine last year with 32k miles for around 21k, the trim before f sport since I didn’t think the f sport package justified the heftier price tag since it’s purely cosmetic

Hey! Long time no chat, Contane 21. These cars are getting rather pricey nowadays and you're correct, the more expensive these cars get, the more competition there is to choose from. Hope all is well and thanks for watching!

Got my IS350 Fsport for $40k (before taxes)

David Liu As we like to say, DAvid Liu, "Everything is negotiable.

It’s worth 20k+ now used. Weird how the price drop so drastic

Glad you love it! I just bought one. Any advice about how to handle it, and anything to watch out for?

@Aura Abjure make sure you sit directly on the seat and not on the bolster, if you sit on it excessively the foam underneath might push out in bits. Others then that there's no problems really.

@@travisl1759 I appreciate the time it took you to write that Travis, and I will follow your advice. Thank you.

Sorry you didn't like it. Thanks for attempting to watch, anyway.

I actually enjoyed the music

Exactly, Matt Surratt. And the lag is more than likely not a big deal for most people, but because this IS 200t is such a sporty looking vehicle, there may be some buyers who are a little more hardcore and are looking for a more hardcore sports sedan. They'd definitely want to know about the lag. We assume your wife is enjoying her car, because it is definitely a looker! Thank your for your comments and for watching, too!

I have the same car in white and the lag is the only lag that I don’t like. Overall it’s comfortable and fun to drive. Also on 1st or 2nd gear when driving really slow, transmission jolts in a weird way sometimes which worries me

Enjoy your new ride and thanks for watching, Another day with A!

Thank you, wellwh0. We appreciate the kind words. And in case you haven't done so already, please consider subscribing to our channel. We can use all the help we can get! LOL Thanks for watching!

done that long time ago. low US IS Lex here in Europe to put plate in middle of that grill :/

Thank you! We appreciate you, wellwh0.

Great examples to think about, MrMusicweekly. Thanks for sharing and for watching!

You shouldve gotten the 350 like I did, instant power and buttery smooth

+David Liu yes I got the 350 moves pretty good

its not the turbo lag its the 8 speed tranny, make sure to downshift before to speed manually

We appreciate your comments, Random Dude. Thanks for watching!

Downshift and you will smile every time

Working hard. Besides that... GREAT! Thanks for asking.

Thank you, pedro fernandez. Some people like to bash certain cars just for the heck of it. We try to identify the pros and cons of the vehicles we test and our viewers, as well as the manufacturers, appreciate that. With regards to the turbo lag, unfortunately that is a common trait no matter the price range of the vehicle, but it is more evident on performance-oriented vehicles due to the expected quicker throttle response. This is why some companies, such as Porsche, have used twin turbo setups. In those configurations, a small turbo spins up faster at low rpm to provide quick initial power, then a larger turbo takes over at the higher rpms, eliminating lag while still providing good top end power. You'll notice a lot more cars using turbocharged engines now because they give us more power out of smaller engines and better fuel economy to meet CAFE regulations, but we also have to deal with the lag that accompanies them. We appreciate you, pedro fernandez.

Turbo lag is present in all turbo charged vehicles

Hmm. Maybe. We'll be testing a GS 200t soon so we'll see if that works. Either way, thank you for your comments and thanks for watching!

Yes correct I have this exact car and one day a guy in a charger raced me and beat me when I was on my way home from Walmart and my car hesitated really bad and once I figured out to put it into sport mode it was very snappy after that...

AutoAcademics did you not know that?? Why the hell u do cars reviews when you are noob

If we remember correctly, this 200t has the same suspension as other F SPORT trims, Relax T, so you can adjust it to your liking. A standard 250 will fall somewhere in the middle of comfort and Sport+. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

Hi, Ernesto Melendez. The 2016 Lexus IS 200t that we tested was automatic. In fact, all Lexus vehicles currently on the market in North America are automatic. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

The velocity, unfortunately, is relative, Omar Imad. It depends upon what you are used to. If you're coming from a 2002 Corolla, this car will feel fast. However, if you're coming from a 1989 Mustang GT, not so much. We say don't worry too much about it. Just take the opportunity to test drive one before you buy, when you get the chance. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

AutoAcademics I'm coming from a Toyota Prado 2005 stock. I live in Dubai so either highways or curvy roads and curvy bridges so I think it will be fun to drive the is in curves but is it slow to the extent where it's not fun and turning is not fun. is it 350 or nothing

AutoAcademics thanks alot for great review man

Omar Imad Coming from a Prado, even though the IS 200t doesn't have the low-end grunt of the 350, it'll feel more lively than what you're used to and will definitely be more fun to drive on curvy roads. As we mentioned before, take one for a test drive to be sure. Good luck and comment back on here if you get one. We'd love to hear your thoughts!

It's a software detune. Buy an OVtune for it. Serious improvement

We think Lexus is still trying to tow the line between sports sedan and luxury sedan. The closer you inch toward one, the further you go from the other. Not to mention, they have to keep fuel economy in mind, too, which is why we're seeing these smaller engines from the brand. Lexus figures that if consumers want more power, they can buy one of their V8-engined cars. Right now, though, a lot of buyers have been enjoying the current mix that Lexus has to offer, so we don't think we'll see changes any time soon, unless people don't buy the 200t. We appreciate your comments, NickLiang. Thanks for watching!

The IS200t is a lot heavier, has a lower redline and taller gear ratios. All these makes the IS200t a lot slower in a straight line.

***** Wow thank you for the profound view! Considering they made the 200T for those who wanted a more sporty experience in their line up of IS, it is rather underwhelming at 7s. They already have a hybrid for those mpg conscious customer.

NickLiang Well, again, we believe that the 200T is more for better fuel economy averages across the brand than for the sporty car experience, even though the IS 200T is sporty. But if we truly knew the answer, we'd be making way more money. Oh, well. Thanks for watching!

Reliability and technology> 0-60 everyday all day.

For people like us who care about performance, that is why they offer the 350, for the rest that just want to ride in a smooth and reliable luxury car with high MPGs, there is where the 200t comes into play.

SkyTheDestroyer- I've had the 2014 and 2015 Is 350 F-Sport and the performance isn't that impressive. An Audi 3.0T and a 335i are faster; 200t is great option for the commute.

I own the 200t f sport...a dream to drive and 33 mpg average for me. Plus a 800 tune and intake makes this thing smoke any 350

Unfortunately IS350 is not offered in my country..

Ryan Smith what was your increased HP? Also, did tuning Decrease the turbo lag?

Hopefully we'll get our hands on a current-gen C-Class soon. But until we do, the IS 200t F SPORT was a pretty cool ride. Thank you for your comment and thanks for watching, too!

As a Lexus fan, I'll admit I don't like the Lexus turbos. I'll agree that I'll take a C300 over the IS 200t, but I'd still rather have the naturally aspirated IS 350 over the C300.

Samuel Wu We agree. Toyota's 3.5L is a nice engine.

No shit😂😂😂

Then buy a Prius and stick in a tampon big guy😃

Thank you, Miss Kay. We appreciate you watching!
