[ShadowThiHedgehog]

fabulous - can't let you go i love that song

[proximafase]

Hell, it's not 248 either, it's 254.

[proximafase]

Torque isn't 268 it's 248 @ 4700 rpm I believe

[maybach6536]

i love the sound these make, very refined

[jriley1992]

Wow... those highways are terrible lol.

[king0fheart]

I love this car. I went to check it out in the show room and test drove it. And then I went ahead and bought a used M5.

[02dopeboymagic]

Can you make a video when you are going 100 miles

[coolio5155]

this is the car to get if you want luxury

[TheGeek1028]

I'm surprised this car is front wheel drive. .-.

[stewardlie]

What the hell? I was reading comments when you start the car I didn't even know I was like why are you not starting your car! LOL gotta love lexus

[RabbitRacing09]

what job you have, that you can afford that lol

[BecuzISaidSoGoddamit]

Which part of Virginia do you live? I recognized that you lived in Virginia by the sign: Danville, Lynchburg. It must be somewhere in western Virginia, like near Emory or Abingdon?

[JonKassis]

just picked up this car, he's right it is great, even in the snow (from Canada) only beef is that the brake pedal has a lot of travel, takes some time getting used to it. But still a great car

[slaie1]

nice video; DAMN 23 MPG wow. i have the same car 2010, i only get 19.4, maybe its cause i ram it too much.

[heartlessvietboy]

You think this car is quiet, imagine the LS460. (LOL)

[golfbeast19]

BURRR

[geedunk13]

Why did you sell it?

[MrSamkerr123]

nice luxus i want the same car

[JAPANTUNER100]

hey why'd you sell your lexus?

[djkain2007]

3,5 V6 i thought it had a 3.0 V6

[ElectroGhandi]

@djkain2007 Nope. 3.5 liters is what the "350" symbolizes in "ES350"

[MrCounterstrikeforce]

nice car man,i wish they sell this model of lexus in my country,cus my country only has lexus is250,lexus ls460lL,lexus gs350,and lexus rx350.

[claire1667]

Amazing car.

[NightShadow54]

When driving do you notice the wheel is pulling to the right a little?

[n111100]

Fuck you fuck you fuck you and your stupid, stated cheapest cialis

[refresh967]

@n111100 spamed. lets move on shall we.

[nikothecrazygreek]

arent iphones great!. i have one and its awsome

[rickyay26]

is there alot of road noise if you go on the freeway?

[isthataj]

This video is so helpful for people like me who are deciding which mid luxury sedan to buy. And I think I want one! :D and, I like your voice! So calm & soothing!

[AbGilley89]

Sometimes I wish they didn't put asphalt on that part of 29.

[saabkyle04]

Supposedly you can, I've heard different things, but I also got the recall taken care of and that's 'supposed to fix it' guess we'll see haha.

[heartlessvietboy]

I wouldn't say the Lexus ES350 is quiet. You hear a lot of road nose when driving the car. I particularly like the Steering Feel. The interior color gauges and navigational screen is nice. How the interior is drawn out is nice.

[7477238]

@heartlessvietboy Road noise can be quieted down. Depends on the tires. I drove a 98 ES300, which was a real quiet car but it had shitty Nexen tires so even though it was quiet over the bumps they whined quite a lot at speed.

[heartlessvietboy]

Generally speaking, a little road noise is really ok. Too much is bad. What do you mean by whine quite a lot at speed?

[7477238]

@heartlessvietboy Literally hearing the tires rotate at driving speeds. The softer the compound on the tire the better although they don't last as long.

[heartlessvietboy]

You are telling me that you the hear tires rotate at driving speeds. What "speed" are you talking about? Is it the compound on the tire, or the tire on the compound? On what compound (assuming you mean surface) do the tires not last as long.

[lexusES350h]

im jelous of you... :( i want that car.. acually i envey you! hehe :>

[saabkyle04]

Hahaha, it is a sweet car :)

[PVoyager]

@saabkyle04 Did you buy the Lexus brand new?

[medicadvantage17]

nice video! i personally own one of these myself a 2009 ultimate luxury model. - the GPS i cannot stand those things, i had one in my previous VW and Hated it, but i love the sound of the sound system, how do you feel about the recent recall regarding the unwanted acceleration?

[86bmw325i]

My aunts friend has one and she let me drive it. Man have I never been in such a luxurious car. I've made it my goal to own a lexus es350. These videos made me want it so much more.

[scorpioeddie84]

Great vid! Very entertaining and informative.

[saabkyle04]

Thanks man!

[claire1667]

@saabkyle04. 1 question. What was your first upload?

[Goldenrod636]

Does your car also have a compass feature?

[averatec6]

yea..and u can imagine the engine rev real high! depends how much u put ur foot on the gas.

[averatec6]

y does ur car go first gear up to 80mph one time but another time it goes 40mph then into 2nd gear?

[asitmc]

it's called editing..moron

[averatec6]

@asitmc u moron!

[MrRichierich1990]

cool car.

[JSM9393]

lol iMovie sucks.

Download a real editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro of Final cut.

[Touareg0]

Whats the song at 8.13 ?

Thx a lot :)

[Travisuniversal]

Thanks man for the run through I'm really considering this car and you made it a whole lot easier!

[29jimmy980]

wow...very nive video and car :P 5 stars ;)

[beeabaw22]

cool car kyle

[saabkyle04]

Thanks!

[averatec6]

this car must hv cost heapz coz of the extra's lik GPS and etc. do u ever gt to take cars home at night?

[saabkyle04]

Not usually but yeah the navigation was a hefty option since it controls the whole car pretty much

[fordescort98]

nice vid. Do you ever put the car into "S" on the shift pattern thinger lol or manumatic which im guessing it is lol

[saabkyle04]

Yeah I do sometimes when I feel like a little fun haha

[NotARealUTubeAccount]

its night there by 8:30 PM? when was this video recorded?

[saabkyle04]

Oh no haha those last 2 clips were from several months ago I was making them for the other guy in the car, we were trying is custom built camera mount

[thecarexpert18]

i hope they never discontiue the honda accord

[saabkyle04]

I don't EVER see that happening haha

[thecarexpert18]

if they discontiue the accord that would just make me soooooooo mad

[shmoo14]

so thats your personal car?? damn!

[saabkyle04]

Yeah man thanks!

[chorstma44]

Thats a really nice car! I like that sped up night driving part. How did you get that cool cabin view? Was it a tripod in the back or something between the seats?

[saabkyle04]

Well that's what I usually do but for those shots I was demonstraiting a custom camera mount a friend made that went on the headrest

[chorstma44]

Thats cool! Do you buy a program to speed up the time and add music or is it an application that comes with the windows vista operating system?

[saabkyle04]

It's a program for Mac computers called imovie

[chorstma44]

Ok. Thanks. Come to think of it I actually have that program on my mac. lol

[fordescort98]

what version of Imovie are you using, Im using, well i guess i should say ilife, but im using iLife'08 but I have never found the button to either slow down or speed up clips :S

[Travisuniversal]

You need iLife 09' in order to do that. :) It doesn't work that easily in iMovie 08'.

[fordescort98]

i know I have downloaded iMovie '06 HD then I import and do the effects I want to the clips then export them back to '08 cause I can't get the quality and ease of upload out of the '06 iMovie

[saabkyle04]

Thanks I definitely want to, I don't do a whole lot because I never think they turn out good but if I get someone to help I should be able to get some cool exterior shots like I want

[filiphilopeno]

definitely one of your best videos so far.

[saabkyle04]

Thanks a lot, glad to hear it!!!

[filiphilopeno]

does this ES have radar cruise?

[saabkyle04]

No I wish it did, I think that's a pretty rare option, at least I've never seen it lol

[XSPTundra]

Thanks for doing the vid that I requested I love all of your vids. I hope you get that rattle fixed !

[saabkyle04]

Thanks a lot, no problem at all, glad it turned out! Oh I know, I think it's the tire pressure monitoring system, there's a TSIB for it and I'm just going to take it into the dealer with that video, so they can finally pinpoint the exact cause.

[Touareg0]

Nice video!!

I like the normal driving ;)

Watch my vids too an comment it pls. :D

thx

[saabkyle04]

Thanks a lot, will do!

[summerdude]

great camera angle at the end, you should consider doing that more often for your other videos if it's possible.

[saabkyle04]

Yeah I really want to, it's just hard doing by myself with a tripod :P

[zakyum]

Really liked the night video, you must have filmed it awhile ago as there are no leaves on the trees

[saabkyle04]

haha yeah it was old, it was a demonstration video I did for a friend's camera mount he built, thanks!

[jmurray01]

actually you do get 90 miles per gallon when slowing down. infact when your foot is not on the accelerator or brake and your just coasting at low rpm's you use NO fuel at all!!!!! its true!!!

[lancerevo1994]

by that logic, you could leave your car idling for the rest of your life and it would never run out of gas. not true.

[jmurray01]

no because when your car is ideling it needs to use fuel to stop its self from stalling but when its slowing down in gear or in drive the transmision keeps the engine running for a small amount of time with out needing any more fuel.

[phun1]

Nice video! The last part where driving in the evening had probably the best camera position.

[saabkyle04]

Oh yeah I know, I like to do that more often, just don't ever get the chance lol, it was actually an old clip from a while back!

[gentle285]

The last video is awesome (the camera view, the dash, and the music). It's pity that the iPhone 3GS can't record the bass of the sound system. And its a pity too, that you speed up your night video.

5*

[saabkyle04]

Thanks, I made that night shot for a friend's camera mount I was demonstrating a LONG time ago lol, just thought it looked cool and I added the song in later. I haven't checked the bass recording quality yet but I do know it picks it up if it's loud enough, maybe I'll do one one of these days

[gentle285]

Oh, i mean the last last video (from 7:48) :) With the song 'You found me' by The Fray, and the song which played before the 'you found me' track ...and the dashboard lights and the camera's position... etc. :) The sound system is still very awesome.

Sorry for my English. Have a good day!

[ElevatorFreak32]

your selling that lexus, How much?

[XSPTundra]

He's not selling it !

[saabkyle04]

yeah I'm no way selling it!

[JordyCars]

I like that car. Really has a lot of power to it. My mom has a BMW 330XI and it's got some pep to it too. It goes from 0-60 in 6.1 seconds

[saabkyle04]

Oh yeah those are really peppy cars, they handle like a beast too, the es is 6.8 seconds, I've never done my own test for it though LOL

[randomrazr]

did u have a case for ur iphone?

[saabkyle04]

yeah I got this snap on one with a screen protector, got it at wal mart, I love it, it's a necessity

[randomrazr]

thought its bad to drive while using ur cellphone :p

thats pretty good quality for the iphone. i dont see a HQ button yet so im asuming thats cause u just uploaded t lol

[saabkyle04]

hahaha I hear ya :P None of my videos for the past couple of weeks have the button, they just automatically are in high quality now once they're processed, idk why it's like that but I like it!

[alexlovesmac]

The engine startup is really quiet, like you can't hear anything at all! What's the song during the night driving scene?

[saabkyle04]

Oh I know, it's pretty cool, it's called "Breakin Up" by Mario ft. Gucci Mane

[exoticcar2009]

You have a very nice ride!

[saabkyle04]

Thanks dude!

[northsiderollers]

the es has the cooolest guages at night.

[saabkyle04]

it really does, I should do a video on that!

[Wannabe000]

I really like your ride man...

btw nice job doing it on the Iphone man..

[saabkyle04]

Thanks man I appreciate it, it's definitely pretty convenient if you don't have the digital camera!
