Wrote this as a reply, so I'll paste it here: 06-08 are early, with 06 needing a "pedal dance" to turn off traction/stability. Burn oil the most. As a new in demand model, many of these cars had the luxury package. X-package was the sport package. 09-10 were updated with better looking navigation/buttons, gauge surround, turn signal mirrors, clear inner taillight section, Bluetooth, aux and USB ports in center console. Ugliest "lobster claw" stock wheels and ugliest front bumper with no good lips available. No sport package available. Less cars equipped with luxury package. 11-13 were the last and best looking. FSPORT option. New front bumper, clear outer tails. New wheels. New headlights with the LED swoosh. Barely any cars equipped with luxury package, though surprisingly "intelligent cruise control" was an option...though I've never seen on any of them. Probably like $4,000 option. From 06-13, Lexus produced around 9,500 is250s per year and only 2,700 is350s per year. Is250 has 204hp/185tq, 0-60 in 7.4s. Is350 has 306hp/277tq and rips to 60mph in 4.7-5.0 seconds, yet only loses around 1mpg to the 250.

There is also a hidden feature on the smart key. If you press and hold your unlocked button, all the windows will roll down, and the sunroof will open also

Just bought a 2012 is350 with 60k miles. Thanks never had a lexus before. Loving it!

Thank you for teaching me these features. I'm going to try them out today.

Brooooo thanks for the tip on setting the speed light! 3 years that's always bugged me but I never gave it more thought 😂 Also, the turning headlights thing blows my mind. Can't wait to try these tips

For fun donuts, turn the traction control on. Then when turning it back off, hold it for 8 or so seconds. This will turn off the traction control and also turn off the VSC(vehicle stability control) you’ll know it’s worked if the VSC and the traction control light illuminate.

Mirror tilt only works for models with memory seat/settings.

Ect snow starts the car in second gear. Turn it on and then check gear position.

I imported a 06 IS350 with the luxery package this past July and I love the car so much. Since it's Japanese it also comes with an additional 10 hp over stock at 316

I own one it’s a 2006 is250 awd with 83,xxx miles and i love it, best awd I’ve owned hands down

Very interesting video Nav. Thanks. JoAnn

I’m currently saving up to get my first car I’m currently using my dads former car a 2005 es 350 and I am in love with it is to reccomended I go for a newer (2008 - 2013) is or a es

The traction control button has a second feature when held down for 3 seconds plus

I have a 2010 250SE. These cars function best with oil changes every 10,000 miles or so; helps to quiten down the engine and reduce revs. They have poor fuel economy city driving (27mpg or so), but improve significantly if you drive down the motorway at 70mph. My best tank average during a long cruise was 40mpg. Despite the fuel economy shortcoming, I still love mine as it’s really easy to look after and extremely comfortable to drive

i wish i had all these features, unfortunately alot of these features only come on the luxury model cars.

I have majority of these features except for the auto wipers, memory seating, power tilting and telescoping steering wheel, reverse tilt down mirrors, and the power rear sunshade which is basically the luxury package. Thanks for the video.. Very helpful

Hold up for the tire pressure you can actually see the PSI on the dash?

hi please can you show me how to install doors when you lock when you bill drive and can you help me how to change the clock frn am to pm .thanks

Thank you! I couldn’t catch what you said about your lights being on the dash. Asking because i have the same ones on…

The window of the mirrors tilt down because they want to show you how close you are to the curve

The side mirrors tilt down so when you are parking you don’t curb your rims.

Just got one also from Wisconsin... How is it in winter?

Nice content, i see your videos from Dominican Republic and they are amazing. Please don’t stop!🔥🤍

Hey man, I just recently got interest in the IS 250/350 cars. Can you clarify what years are considered 2nd Gen and 3rd Gen?

Do the headlamps adjust when u turn on the car , also I wanted to no do the side mirrors fold on those models , are there grid line for the back up camera thanks

My IS250 has a headlight washer😊

Bro my is300 2012 doesn’t play songs from phone Bluetooth just for calls … how can I make it play songs from my cell phone sound cloud :/ ?????????

I have a 2010 and I can play music from my phone without issue.

How to get rid of afs light??

How to fix back up cam to wide

Thanks for the video. What about the feature showing next to AFS related to tire pressure? Not sure how to activate.

There is in fact a second cup hpulder built I to the center console at the front just slide it back. Atleast in my 2009 is250. And I put aftermarket headlights on amd sin had a light that said afs off and never new what it was know I know thanks

Any advice on good new screens we can buy? Which ones are compatible?

Please sir, am confused to make a choice between IS 250 2015 model and IS 350 2015 model. I love the two cars but am afraid of fuel economy of these cars and confused on which one to go for as i don't know the one that retain more fuel or rather the one that is preferable. I'm not concerned about speed cos am not going into racing championship. Am concerned about fuel economy and car maintenance. I really don't know which one to go for cos am considering my pocket in buying fuel. I don't need the F sport model. Please i need an honest answer on which one to go for 🙏🙏

65k!!!! wow... that is a good find.

So I assume I have to find a aftermarket radio to upgrade to apple CarPlay or does Lexus sell one

that ECT almost causes me to get rearended in the snow becasue while driving up a hill in the snow my car stopped and there rather large 4x4 comeing up behind me in the snow and ice barely squeezed past my car because my car stopped right at the very top of the hill just before it leveled out I had to sitt and press that stupid button to unlock the trans so my tires would spin enough to get a little traction so that the next vehicle coming up the hill wouldnt rear end me, so for myself the ECT is BUll crap and for people that do not know how to drive in the snow. I do like the speed and tach light warnings becasue most my driving is on a small highway to and from work at nighty and becase this car is so smooth driving I somtiomes dont notice my speed and have had a few close calls with oncoming poilce patrols the sped on this highway isonly 80KM\H which is 50 MPH ther have been a few times when I caught my self doign 80MPH which here is a very expensive ticket if I was pulled over , my Car is AMericain and I live in Canada which I always have to remind myself the Speedometer is in MP\H not KM\H lol I only have the base model 06 is350 I am not sure about the side mirrors moving when in reverse I am going to check that out next time because I dont back in because I don't have a backup camera and the rear window is pretty small I also like tha tthe doors insidi have lights so that if your door is open any body approaching from behind can actually see the red light on the door

Why is there an issue with the amp? Speakers apparently don’t work when it’s cold

My dream car is a Lexus is no matter what year
