- Welcome to Mixed Reviews - The popular product review channel with a twist!
We weren't twisting up and drinks but we were twisting up things in this ISF! IYKYK (Watch until the end) We are car guys at heart so thought it was perfect to give this 2008 Lexus ISF a review. It's one of the iconic cars that Lexus has made, so wanted to share it with you.
Drop a comment to tell us what you might want to see reviewed on our channel and what we should be drinking!
PSA: Don't drive and drive.
Even though the is500 is coming out this is still one of my dream cars
Is500 isn’t anywhere near as raw as this F is sadly. The 500 may have a v8, but by all means is it no true F car.
Yup, it’s not an F car. Just an IS with a V8. Not a full F.
Cool video, and congrats on the IS-F! I couldn't help but notice that the front wheels are the wrong way around. The curved edge should be towards the front, as it's designed to act like a fan and actively cool the brakes while driving. Since you have Michelins the tires will be asymmetrical so you easily just swap them from left to right.
As for global production numbers, there were just under 11,500 made worldwide:
USA: 5118
Canada: 446
Australia/New Zealand: 1086
UK: 265
Germany: 215
France: 98
Japan: 4172
Oh wow. I didn’t even notice! Thank you! We’ll have to switch those around then.
Oh wow. That’s insane! Yeah I’ve always heard a mixed response in regards to production numbers so that’s super helpful. People must’ve been referring to the US number every time I’ve heard how many were made.
So, whenever you have to rotate your tires, you have to remove and then reinstall the tires?
@@xwarped83 can't rotate your tires since the wheels are staggered, unless you run the same width tire front and rear, in which case you'd have to remove the left front tire and swap it to right rear, providing it's asymmetrical and not directional.
Cool review guys, keep it up. 🍻👌
Just FYI, between 2008-2014 there were 11,500 Lexus IS-F produced worldwide.
5118 went to the USA
4272 - Japan
1086 - Australia
446 - Canada
265 - UK
215 - Germany
98 - France
Ya I was about to post that the US got over 5100 of them.
It is more like around 550 that made it to Australia, and we never received the IS500 over here. They command a premium over here and rightfully so. The only new production V8 cars here are the Mustang and hideously expensive LC500.
I've just recently purchased mine I have a ultrasonic blue ISF from 2009 and I absolutely love it
Great color choice!
Great review I have 09 ISF great car, reliable and fairly good on gas compared to others like m3 etc. I have seen that US sales is 5,118 units Canada 566, assume that there are additional in same range in other countries. But still a low production car. Manufactured in Japan by top quality labour and parts compared to other brands, newer F cars are even much better but at a higher cost. Not a lot of good examples available used or new unfortunately.
great review! Would love to get an update on those headlights he was talking about, thinking of getting new ones for my F as well :)
Sounds good, still waiting for them! Ordered back on 7/30/21 and still haven't got them.
Watching this driving in my isf
You need to drive and review the cars too
Why is everyone repeating the same comment lmao 🤣🤦🏽♂️... Nice ride BTW 👍🏼🔥🥵
hahahaha
Review a newer one with the updates.
I am having an ISF for 2 years now never let me down got PPE header but stock exhuast, Tein EDFC however want to change to HKS maybe Ohlins, thinking of getting a catback...
Yes, you need an exhaust especially since you have headers. Game changer, Wait until our newest video, I think you'll like the one we're posting tomorrow ;)
How does the stock exhaust sound with PPE headers? Does it gets raspy or just more pronounced? I would love to hear a sound clip!
👍
Less than 12k made worldwide. 5k for North America.
I’d do the rear diff first. It’s like $1k to swap it.
Link to parts?
@@mixedreviews2246 no experience personally but seen that commented several times. I’d check eBay or car-part. Also hit club Lexus and I’m sure there’s a DIY.
@@AnontheGOAT gotcha. Sounds good, we’ll have to do some digging on it
A lot more than 1K to swap in an aftermarket LSD or source an OEM torsen. The fastest 1/4 mile NA ISF in the world runs an open 3.7 diff anyhow.
Congrats! how many miles, and how much was it? I've bene looking and I'm curious
Front bumper needs a bit of realignment
Yes it does!
They made roughly 11,500 world wide and America got 5,118.
Sale it to me bro
