The IS isnt about the power. it is all about the comfort and the style. if you really wanted power get the ISF. And also, it is slow of the start because of the tall first gear. it is ok from 2nd gear onwards. It is also alot cheaper than the BMW or the merc. it also has alot more bang for your buck inclusion wise. pretty good car
rofl? tall first gear? an is250 with the AT only gets to 50 km/hr in first...if anything that's a short first gear to try and help that poor little gimpy 2.5 engine to move the car.
Noooo it doesn't have a short first gear. like i said, it a tall gear ratio. also if you want power, GET A ISF OR A M3!!!!!!! the is 250 isn't about the speed like i said. its about the style and the comfort.
the IS250 has short gear ratios. Why the fuck would a tiny ass 2.5 v6 engine have tall gear ratios? It's in 4th gear by 85 mph...If those are what you call "tall gear ratios" then what the hell do you consider short gear ratios?
was that like an auto croos course or somthing? a test of times? i want to get an is 250 but im not sure of the true potential. PM me if u are the real driver of that car. or tell him to pm on how it rides, shifts, resonds, controls, etc. PLEASE!!!!!
some idiot in here kept yelling "go! go! go!, you gotta get it to fifth gear!" hahah wtf is he thinking about?!??! in a small track like that, that's as fast as anyone should go. and c'mon, seriously? 5th gear? hahahahah!!! lol.
I love my is 250. I have really long legs so I need to push the chair all the way back. But its still a fantastic car to drive. I love its small size.
At first I thought it was quite comfortable.But after a three day test drive it was a different story. If the seat could be lowered by not even an extra inch, it would've been perfect.But hey, that's how it is in car design, a bunch of compromises have to be made.
well i guess that's a new American thing, walking around with an earpiece, looking like a Robocop hehehe. You really needed to wear it while test driving a Lexus? What are you, a 24/7 stock broker?
Jealousy has nothing to do with it.If he likes the car a lot and can afford it, good for him, all I can say is the dude has a good taste. I just have an issue with the earpiece.Seen way too many people wearing them when it's absolutely unnecessary and dorky, like eating in a restaurant with the significant other and talking to someone on the other line.
Ok, but you don't have to bash him for millions of people on cell phones all the time. He just got it then anyways. I would do the same with something new that I got, like a new phone, computer, or whatever.
You need to shift down around the corners for more power pulling out!! I think I saw Moose shift up for Saeed :P haha. Top speed we hit on this little track was close to 60. Moose wanted to go in fifth on this little track! lol.
O...k. Moose LMAO "Shift up!", Basim BAHAHAHAHA *Screams*, Saadh *Chill", Saeed *LMAO*

it's an is250
it actually handled and much much better than the is350 on this small course, it seemed much faster.
I guess it's because it's lighter, but the is350 is better in the straights, which there weren't many of on this small course
this was sort of like a small time trial...
We made the video for fun, weren't really looking to do a review as you can tell..haha

this is IS350 fully loaded with Navi, not a IS250..
LexuslS350 3 years ago
It's an IS250. We drove both, we know what car this was. There's very minor differences so maybe it's hard to tell from this video.
shortyuk87 3 years ago
but even ur friend in the car said it is IS350?
And becuz IS250RWD don't come with Navi package, unless this is a IS250AWD
LexuslS350 3 years ago
No, he said IS250. And this had a nav so I guess it was the AWD model.
shortyuk87 3 years ago
this info is completely false. i OWN an is250RWD with navi....
and this is an IS250

Never test drive a car with passengers. Their extra weights will slow you down.

It's too bad that it's not comfortable for drivers who are 6'3'' or taller. Not the greatest car, ergonomics wise.

I didn't think it was too uncomfortable. But it was a tad bit small for taller people. I would rather get an Acura TL-S!
