Lexus IS 350 2007 Review | The Best Japanese Response?
zhlédnutí 90KPřed 7 lety
Check out this video showing all of the features in detail in the IS: czcams.com/video/FaZvKlIzFp0/video.html In this video we take a look at Lexus' 2nd Generation IS (2006-2013). Do note that this is a Japanese Import model, so it varies ever so slightly to the US/ rest of the world models. For the most part, it's the same car.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Chur!
Awesome
Finally ... A proper IS 350 review. Although there are a mass amount of IS reviews, the largest percentage of those videos are about the IS250, only mentioning the IS350. And then add to it the fact that this video actually mentions the cooler finer details like the automatic window opening with the fob, the automatic seat setting with the fob, both of which i really had no idea of, and the automatic steering wheel, which i only saw once before, but get no mentioning in other videos. Those are seriously cool functions, which i love. I am not saying that other videos are bad in that sense, by me personally, i love those cool functions that just stands out above the rest. Add to that the Lexus reliability, the second hand market value ... Yah baby !!! I'm sold. As soon as my finances allows it, i would love to get myself an IS350 F-Sport. Here in South Africa prices differs between ZAR 300'000.00 and ZAR 400'000.00 , depending on km's . Once again, great video. Thank you very much.
Wow - that is very very kind of you to make a comment like this! Thank you so much. I do still post content but now on a different channel, if you’re keen to see more of my stuff! youtube.com/@sammygoris?si=zl137kUz14Hpi4RC
I thought my JDM 2006 IS350 was small inside due to being from Japan and it's made for smaller people since Japanese people tend to be smaller. Guess they're ALL like that lol. Honestly though, I've only had all the features this car has in my 2022 Stinger GT; absolutely ahead of its time Fun Fact: The JDM IS350 cruise control can only be set up to 118km/hr, and they only make ~245hp to the wheels (I dyno'd mine. It's RWD) so ~280 to the crank. Lexus' numbers are WAY off
Good review! I think you got the fuel economy units mixed up.
Which engine oil is recommended for Toyota fielder 2012 non hybrid.present mileage 60000
I so want this but the 1.8 auto
there is one thing the IS250 has that this doesnt.... manual
i love this car and im a skinny 6ft guy i hope i dont hate it lol.
what about road noise?
the hand break is done by foot jaja why?
03:02 , HI BRO, What is that button you see on the right hand wheel at the bottom for?
As a Canadian, I wonder whether these wonderful Fielders just wash up on the beaches of New Zealand or are they imported officially?
NZ has a large used imported Japanese car market. Many companies and used car dealers purchase cars, ship them to NZ, and then register them here. Used cars have to meet safety, economy, and emissions standards. Find out more here:
Almost 60% of all vehicle registrations in New Zealand each year are used Japanese imports, according to Driven magazine. Largely because NZ is one of few other countries to drive on the left and we have a large demand for used cars. Australia also imports used cars from the Japanese market.
Good description. Oh my goodness, the bloke sounds like Korg (portrayed by Taika Waititi) from Thor: Ragnarok.
Nice 👍 🚗🚗🚗🚗
How much money
Easy to rob best of getting a steering lock if you buying one
This car is a waste of space. Even a Honda Fit has boot space almost like that... Honda Shuttle is way bigger.
I can't comment on the Honda Shuttle as we don't have them in New Zealand, but the Honda Fit has no way near that amount of space in the boot. The Fit is a hatchback and has about half a meter between the boot and the rear seats. This is a station wagon and has at least meter. My sister owns one and my grandfather owns one and they aren't even close!

Super helpful review when looking to purchase a used car. Practical and fair insights. We eventually purchased a 1.5L Manual "Corolla GX Wagon" (NZ New vs imported) for which I struggled to find any reviews until I learnt that the Fielder is basically the same car.
Meaning the fielder is the newer improved version of the Corolla 1998 G Touring Wagon. Wow! We used to call it a Caldina in Uganda back in the day
is this car for sale?
what i like about japanese cars is in the japanese market only, their cars are much packed with side mirrors that are shifted to the side of the door giving it more space and the usual japanese cars box but the design can withstand modern 2014 era upwards, and japanese cars all though not very fast but it is very neat and beautiful showing the image of Japan that prioritizes perfection like its good society
Do we get in NZ AWD models? Is there any badge, or is it in some specific trims?
ugly design
Only weighs 1160kg, so the 1.8 in sports or manual mode should perform fairly well.
What a super car
I love this car plan on getting one next year
love you
Is there a way of making the 2nd-row seats fold completely flat? Thanks for the vid!
the reason you are going to buy this car over the other V6 sedans is because its the fastest one
I didn't know Elliot Rodger did a review of his car before the shooting.
Okay that’s fucked but this can’t be Elliot, he drives a Bee Em Double U
I had the 1.5L hybrid model from early 2015 (before the face lift). Nice car, very good price, quite spacious with lots of room for my 2 dogs in the back or loading space for any project you might do. I previously had a Volvo V70. The Volvo is much bigger, but I find the Fielder is more than sufficient for my purposes. Also, the Volvo give a feeling of quality in the interior that the Toyota just doesn't have. But the Volvo was constantly in the workshop with huge bills, while so far the Toyota has been humming along with no issues. The Fielder consumes about 1/3 of the petrol of the V70! I lost this Fielder in a head on collision with a BMW. Yes, the BMW won and there was much more damage on the Toyota, but the Toyota did what it's supposed to do, crumpled up, and protected me perfectly. The car was totaled and I didn't have a scratch. So I bought basically the same car again - 1.5L hybrid model from late 2015 (after the face lift). I like it just as well as the first one. One caveat, I like listening to music in the car, and the speakers in the Fielder are the worst I have ever heard. Worse than in a 1980s Fiat - my first car. On the positive side, replacing the speakers in the Toyota is no problem. The interior of this car is super easy to works on, unlike the Volvo where everything was bolted down in mysterious ways. Anyhow, if music is at all important to you, and upgrade of the stereo system might be in order. I installed a rear view camera in the process, which is a really nice addition.
Hey man I have the 2013 import model fielder. May I say the stock interior speakers are phenomenal, I’m always getting compliments on my supposed aftermarket sound system. It is quite possible the atrocity of your speakers are a direct outcome of teenagers blasting music.
@@Modaholic13 - May I suggest that a previous owner upgraded the speakers in your car. I have taken out the stock speakers in mine. Once I saw them, I was no longer surprised about the sound - or rather the lack thereof. It's too bad that I did not take a photo, but the magnet of the speaker is about the size of a penny, and weighs as much. There isn't a snowball's chance in hell that you can get decent mids out of that design, let alone any semblance of bass.
Relevant in NZ how?

Nice video I own an is350 the most reliable car I’ve owned. By the way your description song artist doesn’t match your video!? Can i please get the name of the songs you used
If you need a light on the dashboard to tell you when to change gear, you shouldn't be driving.
Are you serious? Have you ever see an F1 steering wheel? Are you saying all F1 drivers shouldn't be driving? Have you seen literally every sports car from the last 10 years? They all have tacho's that light up when needing to shift. Nobody has ever 'needed it', it's a feature, it's a gimmick, it's something fun, like literally every feature on every car.
@@nzcarreviews2691 Maybe you missed the word 'need' ? The car above is NOT an F1 car that redlines at 14,000rpm...its a street car. So you can drop that analogy. Essentially, what you did was compare a Cessna 182 to a F15 fighter jet. And if you think something beeping at you is "fun", then I'm happy for you. Ive got a Lexus, and this was literally one of the first things I disabled. (because I know how to drive).
Hi , well explained. I have 2015 fielder. Have a query interms of language conversion from Japanese to English. can you please help how to convert from Japanese to English? Tried all ways no luck.

Hi, thanks for the review. Can you please advise on the song starting from 7:20? Fits perfectly for this car. Thanks,
Hey Alex, yeah sure man. Ben la Desh - Motion. It’s a great track.
My one is. Is 250 2007 but it looks different
awesome review
The only downside of this car is the lack of an LSD.
Those first issues u have are just tall man issues ...for the first time am thankful for being short 🤣
Agreed, the reason in the US they are trade-in quick in good shape. That is what I like about the cabin, that I feel enclosed. The SUV I drive, it feels one is driving a school bus, or a fishing tank with so many windows.
Buyers of older models should be aware of the ‘sticky dash and door trim’ which is a common and expensive issue to fix.
My goodness, yes! I live in California and with the heat out here it worsens even more. I hope to replace the dash and door trims soon
true,i got it
Thankfully mine is replaced
Have the 1.8L. and I love it!
I’ve seen some of these in 12’ models running for 19K and up on some sites
