Has this car proven its reliability yet? Mechanical wise?
This engine deserves an episode all too itself. There are good toyota tech articles on the unique features of this turbo engine such as atkins/otto cycle and two stage pcv.
Is ride quality hard? I'm on base is250 and I'm going to replace it with f sport strut, and I wonder how hard it will be
I got one, ordering my intake and turbo delete with the next two weeks, might start a new page
could you road trip it from like FL to NY
how tall your are ?
It's only slow till the turbo kicks in then it's bye bye to even some new v6s😁 but the lag on it is pretty bad, it takes longer then most other turbo cars to kick in.
Yeah I have this car for more than 8 years now. No major issues at all. Just do your normal maintenance and is rock solid. One minor issue the windshield washer had a leak so refill was gone fast, but Lexus dealer fixed it for free.
the steering wheel is so jittery
I’d say the one that doesn’t look attractive is the Automatic Transmission.
That front grill. I wouldn't buy one just for that.
Very disappointing car
Turbo charged vs naturally aspirated please explain which is less problematic thanks?
I’d imagine this is a Toyota so it’s built to last?
Is that engine tunable?
I wish they would put this engine in the rav4
Great video
Can you gift me this car?
The is200t is the best option for places where import laws cap off at 2.0, and anything other than a 4cyl is super expensive.
It's a heavy car as it is not made mainly by plastic like most of the cars these days …
Hello. This is a rear or front wheel tracción
This is an absolutely great review
is this the same BMW engine found on 328i?
Disliked. You’re voice is so damn annoying!
U got top end f sport of 200T
Whereas u get basic model of 350
I drive this of 2017 model
And loved this car
Except it doestnt have apple car play
And no wireless charging
And back seat are not comfort like mer glc
Bt overall car is very good
Hopefully next year
I ll Upgrade to nx300 hybrid
Cuz fuel is getting higher and higher in dubai
old video but debating between a 200t and 350 rwd (live in NY but WFH so no worries about driving in snow). found to 2017 similar mileage and both Fsport. price diff seems to be about 7k. what’s everyone’s opinion? worth looking at the 200t, or 350 will be much better. coming from a 2012GTI with DSG
Excellent video full of information. Thank you!
This is a very affordable luxury car considering car prices right now!

Really elegant car.. Most reliable car in the world.. Even best resales value over any car.. Lexus is always elegant.. Laxury
Fantastic review. My wife drives a 2015 IS 250 F Sport. We snagged it for $23k with 68,000 miles on it. I was curious how this one compared, I learned everything I wanted to know. Thanks!!
More clys.. the higher your insurance will be, a chance to get tickets, and a change to get into a car accident. I usually drive 5 miles over the speed limit now and I feel better doing this.
Seeing Oregon plates while living here 😎🤙
2016 Lexus IS200t – The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly=¨TEU CÚ¨
😂 heated steering wheel- what a soft guy
How does it do in the snow
I’m selling my 2017, let me know if anyone is in the market for a nice CPO 37k miles
Great review thanks ma man … I really loved the new IS and test drove the IS250H which is the only one we get here in Finland. I was quite impressed with the E-CVT and did not feel that it was boring or annoying at al. The only thing that stopped me from buying the car was the tiny cabin size ! I mean, I am quite average height at around 176cm and I found the cabin so cramped sitting there that I felt like a giant. The center console has a very weird outward design that kept hitting my right knee and annoyed the hell out of me, would love to know your views on that and if you found the same issues I did. There is ONE IS200T which is imported and it is tempting me now to go and check it out and maybe give it another chance. Earlier I ended up getting a 2013 Seat Leon FR (1.8TSI 7DSG 180hp) and the last year has been a joy to drive but now it's time for a change
I wanted to trade in my 2012 Volvo S60 T4 with 100,000 Km for a 2017 Lexus IS200T with 45,000 Km. Albeit, the jump is quite steep at US$20,000 out of pocket plus insurance. Cars here in Costa Rica have a 70% import duty. I will also have to finance at 10% APR.
With our permanent stop and go traffic and very congested roads, it might seem that the IS250 is the better engine, however, our gasoline has reached US$4.482 per US Gallon so it pays in the long run to save on gas. I currently get 9 kilometers per liter on my Volvo.
This seems to be a thorough financial decision. It’s how much will I end up paying in interest and what is the depreciation on the Lexus going to be at 5 years down the road.
Your thoughts are welcome too!
Tires last for 15k miles? WTF…Lexus can't give you 40k tires for a luxury car?
THX for the info.
