Jamie, so glad you've done a video on the IS250 as I am looking at these for my next car so was glad to see this video!!

Just bought one. Only had it for 3 days so cant say anything about reliability but so far I've been so stoked and would recommend it. Hopefully nothing goes wrong though haha. Good luck mate.

I have an is250 fsport 2010 and it's mint. These cars are amazing

Great video Jamie 👌

Hi Jamie love your vids,you’re awesome,love from wales

I've got a is200d F-Sport. Bought it with the mindset "it'l do" at the time, straight away it became the best car I've owned.

Looking to change my 2007 is250 this year. Almost scared to, as it's been the best car ever. Very luxurious and nothing ever goes wrong. Going to be boring and stick with Lexus. Just can't fault them.

What are you planning on switching to? I consider switching out of my 09 sometimes, but nothing else in the price range really catches my eye as being worth it.

Why every is250 owner complains about power? I mean, is it really that bad at pulling? I mean, I owned a 2.0T Astra coupe for about 3 years and it was pretty much a monster for that size. When I look at is250s (the car I want to switch up to), it is so damn slow, almost look like a downgrade in terms of torque lol

@@aldop8305 ik I’m late, but 155k miles ain’t too hot. It’s not the best mileage, however I’d spend only 4k or least thousand less than asking price. Also get a mechanic to have it inspected to make sure all is well with the car.

I have a 58 Is 250 SE I do a lot of milage for work and these cars are great for it and so comfortable

Used IS350 and GS350 are two of the best budget luxury sport car you can get these days IMO and they run forever. Yeah its a bit more expensive than a 250 but A LOT quicker and similar fuel consumption (believe it or not). The 250 is a little slow because these cars are pretty heavy. 250 still great alternative if you can't afford a 350 or if you don't care so much about the speed and just want a reliable, cheap luxury car.

The 350's never made it to the UK, which is a real shame. Never got 4wd versions either.

The 250 is a go-to in Eastern Europe as well,since for a 2.5 l engine you pay around €250 tax per year,where as for the 350 with the 3.5 l is around €1250,and the average salary is around €600-800 per month.😅These figures are for Romania,but it doesn't vary that much around this part of Europe sadly.

Got to admit I haven’t watched one of your reviews for ages. Anyway good review, can’t beat a Lexus for value for money and reliability. I do wish that Lexus sold the IS350 here in the U.K.

Got a 2007 with 43k on it. I've owned it for only about 8k of those. Nothing at all has even hinted at going wrong. Shouldn't do at this mileage, maybe, but at the same time it's 15 years old, typically you see some minor gremlins or plastics/rubbers perishing. However I do think the wheels might only last a few more years. Light bubbling on one wheel which is known on these.

In Ireland They’re becoming more and more popular along side the is200 which has been popular for many years in Ireland.

Just bought a 2010 Luxury spec, I'm se happy.

Bought 1 yesterday in London ... ended up in Portsmouth straight away

I’m tryna get one but been hard to find ones with good mileage and maintenance.

Beautiful car, I own the diesel variant

If they were the weight of the is200 they would be quick. 208bhp is really good from 2.5 v6.

What exhaust do you have installed?

I am looking for one atm, can you guys tell me how are these cars on Petrol ?

The GS300 and LS430 are more luxury cars and dont really have great handling, the IS is rather nice round corners, it's relatively comfy for a sports sedan but it depends on if you want a more comfortable car or more of a drivers car.

That wheel is super nice. I want one but there soooooo expensive

Redbull shifter though LOL

If you guys can't find it go for the ls430 you will never go wrong with a ls430

Hi please how much pounds you pay for tax in a year and the insurance monthly?

What the hell is that gear knob 👀😂

At least the Red Bull can shifter mod was cheap

Tax on my 61 plate is £330 at the moment, same engine but auto.

Switchgear... Many of those switches look exactly the same as in my 2006 Yaris 1.0.

Had mine 2 years now. 2007 se-l petrol automatic (auto is half the price to tax) I was luckily to find one with every optional extra from factory (minus the sunroof) Hands down best car I've ever owned...stuggaling to find something to upgrade to at the end of the year.
