The question isn’t “should you buy the ISF”, but it’s more of “is there any ISF for sale for you to buy?”

For God sake stop promoting the ISF otherwise the people will wake up on this car and they will get unattainable! Just wait till I buy one pls!

I have owned my 2011 ISF now as this month 10yrs. Its been FBO for 9yrs RR Racing Tune and Tuned intake for several yrs now. It has 105k miles DD for 7yrs suburbs to NYC winter, spring, summer and fall, it saw 28 track days in its first 3yrs. It has been flawless😁 just routine maintenance for 10yrs.

I feel like these cars when new were overlooked compared to their flashier competition, namely the M3 and C63, but on the used market where reliability is key, there might be more interest in the ISF now than when it was new. People are realizing what a great overall package the ISF is.

Best model years are 2010-2014 because of the Torsen LSD which was standard.

I love mine 2011 isf but with prices just heading up on these, part of me wants to wrap it in cotton wool and hide it deep in the garage. The other part of me just wants to keep listening to that second intake and keep driving it every day! first world problem......may have to get a second one as a daily. Great video, love you videos and easy down to earth attitude, keep it up. Cheers from Australia

went over the cons perfectly...love mine, such a fun car to drive, and love my cold starts. I actually wrapped the trim on mine to black carbon fiber to match the interior.

After two years, I finally bought one. BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE.

Great review, hope you're enjoying the isf, I'm staying around while there's isf content

Good video. I'm looking forward to the ISF return hopefully 🤔

Been wanting this car for the past 2 months!

I have a is 350 and really considering upgrading to the IS F. This video really helped thank you!

Although I would love an LSD differential on my 08 ISF specifically for donuts, I have taken it around very tight corners at high speed and the car stays planted to the pavement with my open differential. I've also been able to do dual tire burnouts. I have the RR racing custom made carbon fiber steering wheel on mine and not only does it look sexy but it makes the steering feel so much more sporty. I have quite a few upgrades on mine including aesthetics but the next big upgrades will be PPE headers with the tune and possibly the V3 suspension system. Edit: I never plan on selling this V8 beast!

Good review, I have 08 ISF (FBO) as my weekend/Summer car, I love it, and by the way i'm from Michigan. Cheers!

coming from 98 240 and a 2000 gs I'm ok with dated and with red seats and a teal shift knob with matching air freshener it makes the white carbon/ aluminum weave a little less goddy ,keep up the good content.

SUBD! Your my new go-to for IS-F content! Enjoy the rest of your channel as well, keep it comin! 😎👍

Great review! Covers why I love the ISF. Characterful engine + reliability means I get to have fun everyday.

Love my 2020 obsidian black ISF!! Only done 50k km coming to you from Australia!!

This car is masterpiece. IMO the best small Japanese high performance luxury sedan and if you think about it’s the only one. I will own one in the signature F blue.

I have a 08 mercury silver isf with 78 k on the clock . I have it 3 years since it had 56 k on it ! I live in Dublin ireland so it’s so rare 1 of 7 in this country! It was an ex lotto winners car ! Traded in a 03 m3 manual converiable !! This is the ultimate family car for a petrolhead!! Best purchase ever!!! Wolf in sheep’s clothing ! That’s this beast!! Buy one if u ever see it for sale !! That’s my advice ! I have driven great cars in the past ! This is the best ! V8 ever!! Worry free

Really well summarised...the black leather interior holds up a lot better than white though and the dash and door cards can also have problems but aside from that spot on 👍

I have been using paddle shifters since 2008, started with the VW CC (steering mount) the a humble Mitsubishi Montero Sport (column mount), but I find the ISF gears a bit odd, I could start the CC and the Montero Sport in the second gear (even the 2009 LR2 with tiptronic function can do this), but the ISF can't. I guess you might suggest that ISF is expected to be more sporty....point well taken, but as my daily driver, the ISF puts down so much power in the first gear, that launching quick without spinning the rear wheels....very difficult, especially if surface is wet. Launching with 2nd gear would have been good. But let me be honest, having had the ISF as a daily driver for over a year, I find the normal auto mode for the transmission is really good. I still consider it a blessing, the ISF.

Great review!! Unfortunately, I cannot buy them in my country, too expensive. 😅

Great information and video ! I own a 2017 IS. It's a great car, but I'm really looking into one of these. Even if it's an older model. Maybe as a second car ? I just find these newer models are more for reliability. Not much performance

Good morning. Lexus ISF drive looks fun. 👍😊

Yamaha has a long history with tuning engines for Toyota My old Altezza Gita was a straight 6 with a head designed and tuned by Yamaha called the Beams engine. such a great match of reliability and technical know-how

Have the same exterior colour.. true sleeper car, hardly any ISFs around, have surprised many Porsche drivers in the ISF, among others, including snobs in Range Rovers....the whine above 4000 rpm really does clear way ahead.

Great content. Thank you. Have you driven M5 E39? I would be interested in your thoughts how both compare.

Jakub+Yuri=this guy

2008 ISF had the first 8 speed transmission (along with the LS).

Next weeks video title: Why I'm selling my Lexus ISF

Love these things. A few for sale here in Australia. Early 08 - 10 cars are in the low $30,000 range or even high $20k with lots of miles. The one I want is the 2012 and later. Holy Grail is the 2014 models. Not many in Australia but were the best. These are in the mid to high $40k range.

The thing that lexus does so well apart from reliability is comfort! Ive owned 2009 Audi A6 ( with the 3.2 ) a BMW 540i and a mercedes C55 and None of them are anywhere near as comfortable as my Lexus. My 2010 ISF is by far the most comfortable car I have ever driven and also ultra reliable up to this point, it has the power to keep up with these cars no problem too and even gets decent fuel economy on open road compared to the German stuff ( i get 32mpg on highway in this car and 22 around town ) Also for context on comfort im a big dude at nearly 300lb so that should say something :)

Thats Aluminium weave...I really like it. Brings a bit of sophistication in a largely monotonous interior. Quality is above par.

Is that an xforce exhaust on it?

Quit a few on the fb pages for sale. Washington has a few listed. Few in Oregon. I'm possibly getting one. But love my 3rd Gen IS350 F Sport. Not sure if really want to sell it.

Does this 2010 model has a real mechanical Limited Slim differential?

Imma buy one one day💪🏾💪🏾..

You have full vlands?

Where can I get those lights?

What are your thoughts about the 2nd gen is350 as a daily? Better fuel economy and pretty much same car without the v8 right?

My friend in this video would be good to mention:parts cost,maintenance,fuel consumption

People wont use Navigation? Why? I need Nav Sometimes

Is this car a 2010? Is does not have the updated dash with the big rpm-meter wich all 2010 models are suppoused to have. Might be a 2009 that where sold new 2010?

How would you compare the IS-F to W204 C63 AMG? Your thoughts....

14:10 how many sedans fit 4 decent size adults in the back seat 😜

Nice, honest review. Love the car and the simple mods! Only thing that wasn't accurate was the LSD; the older versions had an e-diff which is still an LSD and it does work but with delay, which is why most, including myself, prefer the 2010+ models.

I got a 2014 about a month ago 😇

I want to buy ISF but it’s so over priced now! Finding 08’ 150K still selling for +$30K

Sorry, but column mounted paddles make absolutely no sense for any kind of “sporty” driving.

What’s the common problems on ISF. Is there any oil consumption issue?

I'm in Cincinnati also if you want to sell it

All the fun and finnese of a euro GT car and sports car with the service costs of a Toyota ... haha . Im a happy GS350 owner looking to downsize and power up to the ISF

Been thinking about selling my three shitboxes to get into one ISF, seems like the best choice

Pls can you compared the ISF to the charger RT

What brand for the bushing?

Albeit, a good video.

Hmm, one day soon...

Get an '11 and up.

I love this car and I can definitely get it for a great price!!! However, i'm almost 6'5 and I worry that I won't fit in there comfortably and that whoever is behind me won't fit comfortably either :( :( :( :( I won't always have guests but it's definitely something to consider :/ Should I Get an Audi S4 instead?? Thoughts guys??? #lexus #audi

19 years old about to be 20, got a job that could allow me to get one of these bad boys, only thing is I’m in no debt. Therefore if I get one of these I’ll be in debt 27,990.

Can a tall person fit in it??

Induction noise is amazing. But they are just too expensive. German rivals such as the B8.5 Audi S4 are just as reliable....

2nd Gen IS owners wya 👇🏼

This is my car by the way 😅 ,

Thanks for making the video so the car holds value better 😏😏😏😏😏

The isF is fast but not that much faster then my 2008 is350. My car does 0-60 in 4.9sec and the isF does it in 4.5sec 😅.

It's like a Japanese muscle car lol 😂

No you shouldn't buy one because I want one

what is the damn beeping sound?

If I find one for under $20k ill buy it. but they are all over $25k. 😭😭😭

20 MPG?! Yea...right lol

Let me know when you wanna sell. I’m in Ohio too. Lol

Don't buy an ISF unless the Valley plate leak has been fixed or get an extended warranty. If not, prepare to spend serious money on an old car.

the first
