Car Tech - The brutally brilliant 2014 Lexus IS F

We bid farewell to the most unlikely Lexus -- a sport sedan with the heart of a muscle car.

So many haters...My only complaint with Lexus is I hate that Lexus puts the F badge on everything they sell.

As a 2012 ISF owner I will tell you this car is no joke; solid ride.  I drove the M3 (best driver) and the C63(most powerful) and this was a good in between and is definitely the most reliable.

Not gonna lie this was a pretty damn good review.

2019, I still love this car, currently drive a Kia Stinger GT1 and Dodge Challenger Hellcat

Shame it's the last we'll see of the ISFs - I love how much of a beast it is, but on the surface looks like a normal sports sedan!

Okay he isn't Brian Cooley, not as good as him but give credit where it is due, his reviews are getting better and better. This in particular is very good, really enjoyed it. The people complaining about him need to stop with the petulant behaviour and enjoy a brilliant review. Everyone starts at some point, he is taking the same steps as Cooley did

[youngbloodrb]

Hey Buddy your reviews are getting better keep up the good work!

[RealtimeReviews]

COOLEY SHOULDA DONE THIS ONE!!! I love this car id still buy one

[Flexie]

Must say... One of this kid's better reviews. He's getting better. B Cooley is the standard, but the laid back look works for this guy.

[LoveStallion]

Ah man. It's this guy. Doubt I'll complete the video. is Cooley?

Jesus Christ this car is 8 years old, and it shows. Interior has plenty of cheap plastics (lower door trim, roof controls, ac vents), doors are light, and don't close with any quality sound, door handles feel cheap, battery isn't covered for cold weather. I like the center console, I think the wood piece is a quality piece. I wish they competed on pricing parity with the Germans, but they don't, and there's a price to pay.

This host is doing a great job if you consider his age. I mean reviewing products requires a lot of experience and knowledge because you are basically comparing the product to the world you know. Cooley's review is more interesting because he has a larger experience background.

[Benjiboi]

Let your haters be your motivators. Great review! Can't wait to see more!

[TWHISPERER]

Ok, this guy did fine. I thought the video could of been a little longer but Cooley or him CNET needs to spend some time showing the "performance" of these cars and a little less on "checking the tech". Otherwise, he did fine and I like how he described the car to be part sports sedan and part Japanese muscle which is the description I needed to hear. He made some good points here but the video just needed to be longer and he just isn't dressed quite as nice as Cooley dresses but a dress shirt doesn't help to describe the car does it?

[ToyotaLife]

Unexpected beast of a car. This car is the last of dying breed better grab one while you can. Def would take this over a M3 and C63

Last time I checked the side vents were actually real not fake. Very good review but left out a lot about the car. Never once talked about its handling.... Or the changes Lexus did to it on compared to the older model years to 2008

[GamerVidsForAmateurs]

A Japanese car having a V8 in this day and age? Shocking!

[cilvrado]

I don't mind Antuan or someone else reviewing cars as long as Cooley also reviews the cars. Deal CNET?

[nonog]

[Sulto_]

I never knew there is a IS F model 2014... Are you serious? As i remember this body shape was last for model 2012

[Mvs]

My boy is trying...Keep working hard...

[jamessutherland]

Is the ISF reliable like the other Lexus model?
