Just got a 2023 is350- no performance package and no upgraded sound system. The sound system is a MUST- this 10 speaker premium is lacking for a 50k car. Aside from that it handles like a cloud- can't imagine what it would be like with that extra sport + mode. Anyhow- this car is a SPORTY luxury sedan. It is no longer a sport sedan like the 2 IS. It is not very fast. Even if it was tuned with 20 more horsepower it would make a difference. But 311 HP on a car that is almost 2 tons, well- its a bit lack luster. The F sport comes standard with a cold air intake so that's off the table and the ECU has not been cracked yet for a tune. I would have gone with the IS500 if it wasn't for the 20K mark up my California dealers are charging. Overall the car has super and I mean SUPER aggressive styling and is so comfortable to drive. But if you are not concerned with long term ownership and reliability, and want something that throws you back in your seat- this car is not for you. I don't see the complaints with the infotainment or technology aspect of the car- but I am coming from a 2IS. Personally I think this car is a great choice if speed is not your main priority. It is a quick head turner and a DREAM to drive on Cali roads. And if you have been to California that says something. TLDR- GET THE UPGRADED SOUND SYSTEM AND THE PREFORMANCE PACKAGE- IF SPEEFD IS YOUR NEED GET THE IS500 AND SPEND THE 20K ON MARKUP. Much love Lexus Family

Awesome review. Love the under the car rolling view at the beginning of all your reviews That car has 2 Sport modes: Sport and Sport + Also like how you white out the front windshield in your driving portion, so the interior dash layout can be accentuated. Would love to see you review a Lexus RC 350 F sport RWD. Definitely not the AWD, it has the 6 speed auto and extra weight

My opinion as to why it has a CD player... Generally more mature people will be buying these cars that have CD's and even know what CD's are. And at $50k they are not your average 21 year old's car. Most young guys with money are opting for ZL1 and Hellcat instead of luxury sedan. I just got my 22 350 F-Sport last week and absolutely love it. This is me coming from a 2016 Camaro 2SS and 2018 Mustang GT.

@steve7572 2 жыл бұрын

@@CustomLambo22 It is slower. I will just say that right off the bat. However, it is a better driving car, more comfortable, more room (I have a 5 year old and the Camaro was a nightmare to get him in the back). The Lexus just looks better and drives like a 50k car versus my base model GT and 2SS. Side note is I also get more looks and compliments on it comparatively. Mine is Infrared color so it's just freakin sick looking. I just installed the F Sport Performance Exhaust too so it sounds wicked. All in all, I absolutely do not regret it. That said, I wouldve gone for the is500 if I had known about them at the time.
