Should you buy a Lexus IS in 2022? Full Technicial Tour and Review

Should you buy a Lexus IS in 2022? The Lexus IS was updated for 2021 and although it's called an all new model, it actually shares a lot with the older model.

In this video we will take a closer look at the current generation Lexus IS to find out if it's a good buy in 2022.

First we'll start with a full technical review of the Lexus IS. Including the Engine, Transmission, AWD system, Brakes, Suspension and Steering.

Then we'll take a look at the exterior of the Lexus IS which I think Lexus did a really good job in updating the looks.

We take a look at the Interior of the Lexus IS which keeps some old school touches that are welcome. Things like the mechanical shifter and the simplicity of the interior. We'll also discuss the ASC system and what I think about it.

I will also share with you some hidden features with the Lexus IS.

Then lastly we'll talk about some things I don't like about it and the final verdict.

The Lexus IS is a very nice car. it does many things well. Perhaps it's not the most exciting car to drive or the most advanced technologically. But it is built like a Tank. Buying the Lexus IS is worth it if you plan to keep it for long.

One of the best looking cars ever made

[anthonybennett]

I just purchased my second IS. My first one was a 2015 IS250. Loved that car so much, I passed it down to my niece for her 16th birthday. There was no way I was letting that car leave the family. Of course, I had to have a replacement before I could let her have that one. So, I did what any passionate Lexus enthusiast would do. I bought the 22' IS350 F-Sport RWD in Caviar with black interior. Being in love with an inanimate object is one thing. The 2022 model takes it to a whole new level. I am obsessed with this car!! My advise, go get yourself one. You WILL NOT be disappointed.

I bought my first Lexus late last year. Honestly they should be the benchmark for other car companies to follow, they are simply a pleasure to drive above and beyond most.

Unlike other car reviewers on YouTube, this man here effortlessly knows the car inside and out.

I used to own a 2006 IS350.... I loved that car until the day I sold it for my brand new 2018 Camry XSE V6. Owning a Lexus is a true experience, even back in 2006. I can only imagine how far they have come since 2006. Great video, as always.

[dafff]

people who own these take note.
maintain them, because in about 20-30 years they will be worth quite a bit.
one of the last fairly analogue cars that wont give you headaches.
its happening with 90 cars now and it will happen with this car as well.
all the miatas, z06s, accords etc are going for ridiculous prices since they are
1. reliable
2. "fun" compared to modern cars.
back in the days those care were considered boring in the same way this lexus is now.

I bought a 2017 IS300 last year and, I must say, I'm envious whenever I see this model on the road. It's a huge improvement design-wise.

[jimbob]

I agree this redesign is the best looking IS. I have the USB F-Sport. This car is so well put together everything is tight and secure and high quality because it’s made in Japan. Their work ethic is top notch it makes a difference where it’s assembled

[Lordvoldemore]

Last year I drove the is350 as a Lexus loaner vehicle. I was very impressed, it drove like a coupe. Very quick and nimble yet refined.

[chileshemubanga]

It's very refreshing when a knowledgeable/technical person reviews a product/vehicle than journalists who just sensationalise thing just for the sake of doing so.thanks car care nut., and David of automotive press, thanks

[aadiflux]

Thanks to your channel I bought a used Lexus RX 350 (MY2010) for my growing family coming from always owning a Honda. The car is like a friend to me and I don't want to feel bad about having a friend whom I keep spending on so I prefer reliability over anything else in a car. I am very happy with my purchase and wanted to thank you in person for guiding people like myself in making wiser financial decisions. Thank you AMD

[MrAkshun]

Thx for making this video of the IS, I just recently ordered a 2023 IS 350 and waiting for it to arrive soon .
I really enjoy your videos !

[anonemoose]

Just bought a 2022 IS350. Been loving it so far!

[jbroberts]

Immediate follow. I just bought an is 300 and I am so happy. Coming from a Volkswagen…..it’s like breathing finally. I plan on keeping it for as long as I can! I can’t wait to enjoy this car over the years

[grayponygt]

I bought the 2021 IS 300 RWD last summer. The longer I have it, the more satisfied and impressed I am with it. From what I’m learning, it has been well refined in its evolution. Your input on this video also verifies my conclusion.

[ardajrsexpressinc.]

I’m still rocking my 2002 IS300 with 250k miles on it. Love Lexus and Toyota.

[marcusj]

I didn’t know until now that the IS was full time all wheel drive …and now I see that the Lexus ES is only ‘smart’ part-time awd. Your videos are very informative, thank you

[freebwalker]

One of the most passionate & beautiful reviews ever… Keep up the good work.

[greghaselhorst]

You nailed it. I have 2005 IS300 with 122, 000 miles with religious maintenance and it still runs and looks like new. My friends and family with the competitor BMW 3 series have spend a fortune on repairs and oddly brag about the costly repairs being special as they have fallen for the hype of superiority of German cars. I love the performance of German sport cars, but not at the cost of unplanned costly repairs. On top of that almost all the required maintenance I was able to easily do at home with the simplicity of the design.

This is the video I've been waiting for. All of my questions on this specific vehicle have been answered. Thank you Sir. Keep your great content coming!
