the beeping sound after you started the car is the same as in my 1992 toyota camry- it's amazing how little toyata changes - even in their luxury brands!
Meh...seeing that this is supposed to be a luxury brand, I think it can be criticised for that cheap interior. Too much plastic, and all those buttons look like they have been placed as an afterthought. It may be (a bit) less expensive than a German performance sedan, but it also doesn't come close in terms of quality and feeling of quality.
I sat in the IS F its a really nice car but if your over 6 foot 5 inches tall this car is not for you, there's not enough head room, but there's plenty of leg room which is weird.
I quite like these, I'd probably have one of these over a BMW M3, not really bothered which is better in terms of performance or handling, I just like these a bit more. Not entirely sure why though.
I think the IS-F is sort of an underdog in its class. Everybody can buy an M3 but not everybody has the balls to drive a Lexus. I like the IS-f althoug the fake exhaust isnt my thing.
That silver stuff on the door panel you mentioned is called texalium (think thats how u spell it) wrap, often used for layers on hockey sticks to dampen vibration. Think of it as a cooler looking kevlar
Someone traded a is-f for a unreliable BMW? Don't get me wrong, I like BMW'S but they are so damn unreliable, and the parts are overpriced. Lex is where it is at for reliable luxury!
@TheEryk03 did u not read the discription??? Quoted saabkyle04, "Well ever since I did the video on the 2011 IS-F I have been on a search for the famous ultrasonic blue mica that had been featured in all the original press releases for the IS-F upon it's release. Plus I wanted a more smooth orchestrated video that taught viewers a little more about the history behind the car, my search is over and I hope everyone enjoys!" thats why he did another IS-F
Conclusion: ///M3 is better because it weighs less, redlines higher, and lower torque BUT the thing is, is that the IS-F has its torque at higher rpms AND it redlines LOWER. the ///M3 has less torque but redlines higher and has it at lower rpms. which means on the ///M3 you can utilize your torque WAY more than on the IS-F.
@juvekid1984 so if this Lexus (V8, rear whell drive) is a glorified Camry (4 & 6 cylinder, front wheel drive), does that mean that the Camaro is a glorified Malibu? Or the Mustang is a glorified Fusion?
Seeing all your car tests really makes me frustrated beyond belief. I am visually impaired just over the limit for not being allowed to get a drivers license.
Cars and driving will continue to be a dream for me sadly
ive driven one of these. very nice with nice handling, but i am a bmw guy and i love the m3 sedan. i feel as if the lexus's styling ques are trying to be too much like the m3. but still nice ride
My mom has a 2010 IS250 AWD thats loaded. And, her newer nav system seems more dated than this. As do the sunroof controls. Although, the power window switches are improved as these 2008 switches look straight out of our 95 Camry haha.
@saabkyle04 Hey Kyle , today i was at the presentation of the all new 2012 Mercedes Benz SLS AMG Roadster in Portugal , it was simply amazing bro :D got a vid and some pics to show u if u want ill post them at facebook ;) can u please do a mercedes benz e class (212) i've been asking u to do one for along while now but i understand :) take care man. - Rudy
I just dont understand why lexus went with"F" as their performance line indicator badge. I just says fail in my mind eventhiugh lexus is a very great brand. I would think they would go with the typical japanese letters like R, S, L, P. The isf is great but it just dosent impress me visualy. Performance wise, this is thr car to have :)
i wonder if you get tired of saying " this is gonna be a full in depth tour of the isf, we'l start it up, show the engine, get an exaughst clip, go over the performance data, and show you a bunch of the features" lol but when its for something you love, i guess it doesn't matter
@saabkyle04 i didnt know, i'm only 14 and in germany you need to be 18 to drive but i do exhaust mods and a bunch of ppl are asking me to mod the exhause of their integrated tip V8 lexus's and i didnt know this
why did this is-f recieve a nice intro (which im beginning to see you only do to worthy cars *aka the 2008 m5 & the sls*) while the 2011 model didnt get one
might there be something special about this one? thanks a bunch
and please i beg you review the mercedes c-class or the c63 amg
@Nawafy007 Hey man, not that they're not worthy, just sometimes decide to get creative. Sometimes I'm in kind of a rush at dealers whether they need cars back or not and don't have time for it.
