2021 Lexus IS350 F-Sport Review: Good Looks With Even Greater Driving Dynamics

The #Lexus #IS350 #FSport has always been a value-oriented luxury sedan in a world dominated by contenders from Germany. However, with the 2021 model, you're getting equal levels of build quality and comfort throughout.
In terms of driving dynamics, the IS350 is surprisingly agile and capable. While the naturally-aspirated V6 lacks a bit of power, the chassis' capabilities make the Lexus a fun vehicle to drive.
While $55,000 might seem like a lot for a lower-level luxury car, the IS350 packs in a ton of value.

I love watching 2 year old reviews when shopping for used cars... gives you a good reference to compare to something with a few miles on it.

Four time Lexus owner, on my 2nd IS350 RWD FSport. Very good review, totally spot-on. I’m 1st on my local list for the IS500 and I’ll be interested to hear your opinion. You’ve picked up another subscriber. 👍🏽😎

Hello.Did you get the handling package because it has sport plus or because of the better handling?Also do it make a big difference going from sport to sport plus ad for the speed/faster?

Did it feel as solid and balanced as the GS F? I've driven the GS F and thought it handled way better than the RC F and LC 500.

I currently have a beautiful 2014 Lexus IS350 RWD and the refresh is not something that would cause me to upgrade. However, IS500 is something I would definitely trade for.

seriously thinking about an is350F.. should i just save up instead for the IS500.. does the 350F not have enough pwr

@@kingrohan11 The IS 500 F SPORT Performance boasts a full 472 horsepower* at 7,100 rpm. And a blistering 0-to-60 time of just 4.5 seconds. * The result? A pure performance sport sedan unlike anything you've heard. Big difference.The RC F starts at $67,000, and we'd guess that the IS500 will be several thousand less than that. At the right sticker price, the IS500.

I have this car and it really is a great car. However, at the price point Lexus failed by not including folding mirrors, tilt reverse mirror and no memory seats. Big disappointment for the price. Otherwise, if you can live without these features you can't go wrong.

3 series, C Class and even the A4 has this Lexus bent over and screaming for uncle. Lexus stopped competing with the Germans years ago. The IS350 even has the same V6 from a decade ago. Nowadays the German trio feature better engines, interior and driving dynamics than Lexus. Only thing Lexus is holding onto is reliability and even then the Germans are catching up.

They just need a more powerful regular engine, like 340-360 hp.

word on the street is Lexus intentionally detuned the engine and you can get 340ish out of it with a tune, headers and exhaust

311 is plenty. It lacks torque at lower rev. They needed to bring down to about 2000rpm. However, it's a nice car to own. I still prefer it over any German car.
