STRIKING! 2021 Lexus IS350 F Sport Review

2021 Lexus IS350 F Sport review by The Straight Pipes. The Lexus IS 350 is pumping out 311hp and 280 lb-ft tq from a 3.5L V6. Sitting at $58,000 CAD, would this be your pick over the Mercedes-AMG C43, BMW M340i, Audi S4, Genesis G70, Kia Stinger GT?

The Lexus IS gets a lot of hate, but if there was any luxury sedan I'd own outside of a warranty it'd be this. Just saying 🤷

[russodean]

One thing I'll say about Lexus is the insulation is amazing. I was shocked and also a little jealous going from my M240i to driving my brother's Lexus IS350 sport. Lexus is soo quiet. It really made the drive much more relaxing not hearing so much exterior road and tyre noise.

The Stinger is no where better looking than the IS 😂😂😂

[MaxSpeedMike]

I like the subtle redesign. That red interior is gorgeous!

I’m a simple man, I see Lexus, I click

I've had my IS350 F Sport RWD for about 2 weeks now and it's great. Fast enough, wonderfully comfortable, pleasingly appointed and generally the fit and finish is just superb. It looks great too, but that's an individual choice thing. When I was younger I would have poured scorn on this car. Now, middle aged and no longer interested in the traffic light shoot-out I'm very very satisfied. It's a very well made pair of slippers, and I'm ok with that.

I can't wait to buy this car used in a few years.

Guys! you gotta turn off traction control (hold it in till it beeps while in park) it literally puts the car in a different mode, then put on sport + and the car will FEEL like a different car completely; including more slipping haha

[btran]

I love my 350 F-Sport! Been an absolute great car. Reliable and fast enough.

[doggedlydetermined]

Bulletproof reliability, awd, V6 power and sound, Lexus luxury and resale value... definitely a lot to like about these

[pope]

The is350 rwd is just the perfect car for everyday driving.Plenty enough power for a daily, dead reliable/rocksolid car and great handling for a daily.

"Some fun was had."
Should be the new motto of Lexus. Basically meh, but fun is possible.

[erikdrummond]

This car beats a stinger. It’s more reliable, more respected, and holds its value a lot better.

[pontiacGXPfan]

Give Lexus credit for keeping this engine when everyone else has fallen victim to the turbo trend

[ptmusic]

Every generation of IS has been gorgeous. This one is no exception. Can’t wait to get a CPO one of these in a few years.

Introduction music is the Tuesday energy we need.

So Ik Lexus gets lotta hate in general, but I own a 2021 IS and I’m pretty satisfied. It’s certainly not for everyone, but the aesthetic design is pure art when contrasted with other rivals within the price bracket, Lexus financial systems are heavily assessable to internationals such as myself in Canada and mechanical build quality needs no introduction. Additionally, the fit and finishes are exceptional (given the bracket it’s in) and the sport seats are some of the best in the business. Performance on the objective metrics is a sore spot and fuel economy isn’t the best when compared to turbo 4’s but tbh very very few people buy an entry level everyday luxury sedan for performance driving on track in mind.
There’s a great sense of occasion and everyday driving experience here for those willing to sacrifice some fun factor for aesthetics, build quality, seats, reliability and sound (sounds better than any turbo 4 on market especially if aftermarket exhaust it, you’d be surprised).

[ryannavarro]

This was a great update from Lexus. They kept similar lines while making it look way better! Interior with a touch screen was a needed addition as well

[inguim]

You’re not buying a 350 to track it sorry half your argument just doesn’t apply. It’s a fantastic car for everyday driving and that why people buy them.
