Lexus IS Review from Consumer Reports

[45vincentconnolly]

This review is all over the place. I can fit a heavy duty massage table for larger folks into the trunk with ease. If anything the trunk space is surprising for its size.

[dualityofman999]

Overpriced junk. Buy a Nissan Maxima over 300 HP.

[sleeksilver]

@dualityofman999

Maxima is FWD and doesn't have over 300HP.

The IS will walk all over the Maxima in any performance competition.

[gaylover19901]

@dualityofman999 IS350 has over 300HP the Maxima is fun to drive but it made so cheap i some ways I love th z370 tho...

[intiktube]

this is nothing but a competitor attack, the guy made it look like the worst car in existence, rubbish review

[ename17]

You fall short if being a good reviewer and so you do have some time for improvement. I think you need to go and get a tune up on attitude bro. Lol

[ename17]

SUCKS!

[rrt08]

How many times is he going to say the "down side of this car". If you don't like reviewing cars its time to move on.

[cuvautoofficial]

What a horrible editing job done between 3:40 - 3:47...

[slatkey2003]

the girl that dumped him probably drove a lexus...

[realchimera]

lol this guy knows nothing about this car by saying trunk is too small. Come on...it's even bigger than audi and bmw's trunk size. How big you can expected from an entry level sports sedan??

[aab92182]

This guy is a tool!!!!

[gaylover19901]

I loved my 08 lexus is250 and I'm 6'4 and I have a lot of room best car I ever driven he is a doom ass , the car is fun to drive I kicked the IS250 over a c-class. So that guy needs a new job and I bet HE DRIVE'S A LIKE 95 BMW or a Kia Soul

[tockclimber]

lol this guys a douche who knows nothing, the is250 is no slouch, it sounds the nuts thanks to its v6, no run of the mill 2.0l inline 4 here like german equivalents and is still good for 150mph at the top end, slow wtf is he saying

[4nodrums]

As a motor head family, we test drove everything in the IS 350 price range. Every car has certain compromises and we found this car had the least compromises for the offerings that are out there. At six foot two, this car had more leg room without stretching for the controls. The best thing, I will not be on a first name basis with the people in the service department as we were with our P O S Ford.

[shaki02]

IS 350 drives amazing. This guy dont know squat!

[atedj]

Lexus has it all, screw all those Benz's, BMW's there just a name.

[Fatboychrisdo]

Not to mention! The smallest turning circle in its class! 33 ft to competitors 36 ft.

[Numbahz23]

I love my IS I dont care what he has to say about it ! lol

[Slimecrazy234]

How can you not like the IS?

[AbsolutMassager]

He's driving a convertible...of coarse he hates it....

[ZenTrickz]

this guy hates the universe

[ericmutang]

Consumer reports, ya'll needed someone better than this guy! I'm 6 ft 3 and I have this car! it's perfectly fine, nothing short of what a Lexus is suppose to be. I love it! This video is not a Lexus review but a negative hate towards the IS 250.

[SpecialOpsM4]

Haters gotta hate

[divadriver]

I have a 2007 IS 250 and everything he said seemed accurate. He just sounds like a whiner.

[2gethrwecnchngthwrld]

this guy is anal. annoying. i've always driven grand am's, this car is amazing in my mind

[NguyenEmpir3]

is it really tight in the IS?

[ny1fanta]

@NguyenEmpir3 gotta be honest its pretty tight inside, this is a dating car, not a family csr

[6UNLEASHED]

Somebody should remind this guy that he is reviewing an entry-level Lexus, not a RollsRoyce or a Benz S600. What he fails to mention is the solid reliability Lexus offers making it a secure invest down the road in terms of ownership. Comparing it to the 3-series its a hard decision, but if you decide to own and stack on miles every year, the Lexus might be a notch above, also the 3 series is slightly more to repair since I have one lol

[JesseR1992]

MMMHUMMM hes Full of Crap I Love My Car ! Lexus IS 250 2010

[alwayson09]

Who cares about the downfalls on the convertible, it's a Lexus! The alternative, drive a Ford or GM perhaps, I think not!

[akplay17]

he says shit bout IS he doesnt know shit

[columbuscrewfan20]

That is an awesome car that got paid from BMW to talk trash about Lexus that all.

[jsiszero]

consumer reports only cares about cars that are designed as appliances

[McSaggler]

I'm pretty sure Lexus did not market this car as a sports car. Why does he keep calling it a sports car? It's an entry level sedan by Lexus so those on a tighter budget can afford one.

[heartlessvietboy]

Lexus is beginning to make Lightweight cars. I myself preferred the Metallic Look and Feel of their older cars. I don't know if Lexus knows, but their cars are beginning to look Plasticy. That's alright because there's no need for Heavyweight and wasting resources. You also get better MPG. However I grew accustomed to their boxier more proportioned type Luxury Sedans. Lexus is making IS300 type cars which don't look too Luxurious Like.

[abdeffo]

that guy didnt like that car

[phirun1234]

this guy is BORING, i repeat, BORING..........

[obiehax]

lol hes so stupid

[LOLATYOU1]

man i rode in a is350..

its fkin FAST

[mEmOk8]

This guy does not know whats bad points and gd points off cars

[Cangri69]

BMW is better

[diggsmiggs]

This guy must have not been paid well from Lexus

[jonathantorresdesign]

@diggsmiggs Consumer Reports accepts no advertisements nor funding from manufacturers. Consumer Reports is known for offering unbiased review.

[PantstofryPWNZ]

@jonathantorresdesign LOL unbiased review. They are one of the most complained about. They have gotten better, but that just sounds like drinking the koolaid

[afgbadboy]

This geek has driven way 2 many cars to constitute this IS being fun to drive !... But for an average driver like you and i (Yor Posters) it would be much fun to drive, i can tell because i just got me one! ..:)

[whiteliketar]

absolutely stunning design - Wonder if Lexus can surpass this design excellence in successive models. I bought the 350 just on looks alone.

[oldirtybastard213]

lol... this guy is such a weirdo

and for the love of God... You just said its a compact luxury whatever... so why do you find it so strange that the interior is compact? lol

[ScuderiaBull]

You, my friend are the worst automotive reporter in the history of television!

[steve9509]

It does not look to dated right now, but it will in another year and a half or so.

[BMWDriverC101]

this guy has NO emotion and LOVES to criticize EVERYTHING and makes me want to fall asleep when I watch this video

[jaydogg321]

@BMWDriverC101 he's giving you the pros and cons about the car. that's what i want in a car review.

[viclam]

i drove this car for a week since my sister lent to me..... steering feel and handling is horrible, and suspension is stiff and hard and not confortable



[rx7sign]

@viclam Your stupid, stiff and hard suspension means its sporty and handles better.  Retard.

[dantek121]

this car is a fail. Id much rather have a BMW 335i or infiniti G37

[hshadow86]

@dantek121 That's fine and dandy, except BMW is expensive to buy and expensive to repair.

And Nissan doesn't have quite the reliability record that Toyota does.

[rx7sign]

@dantek121 Your life is a fail for thinking the lowest level BMW is a good car.

[ScuderiaBull]

@rx7sign

Your saying the bme 3 series is a bad car?

[chadley6916]

@dantek121

losers who say "fail" are a "fail" Grow up son

[MrPman851]

Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett drove an IS in the first season of "Kendra" on E!

[kentau123]

BMW -is the most Rubbish quality car ever made on planet earth!!!

[utubenz576]

I personally jst hate bmw's now because its just with same featuers

[Decb4ss]

infiniti's way better! :)

[hshadow86]

@Decb4ss Yeah, no. First of all, Infiniti suffers from serious reliabilty issues(like its Nissan counterparts). Second, Nissan's products suffer from some interior quality issues(i.e. cheap plastics). If you've had a different experience(and keep in mind I've never driven/ been in a Nissan), that's cool. It's just what I've heard.

[drawface]

he looks really sad wen he said "unfortunately..." haha

[USA4July1776]

It's design is starting to look dated.

[jvrdlc]

rele nice review CR.

is dis car better dan the infiniti convertible? or cheaper?

[MrGermancarlover]

suxxx

[MasterNood]

first!!!!!! :P
