I bought a used 2017 IS200t F-Sport last year 15k miles (gray exterior, red interior) for only $27,500 & its been fantastic so far! It replaced a 2015 Toyota Camry XSE V6 & it feels much more solid & much more sporty. I just found out the other day that it has a DVD player which is really cool.
This is pandemic 2020: I bought the 2017 LEXUS IS 200T F-SPORT for $30,400 (excluding Tax). The mileage on the car was 18700 and it is CPO. I still think I got hella ripped off. Over all I loved the car. Best Design, Reliable and Performance. I hate the dealerships. I love Lexus.
I love this car! Unfortunately I can't afford it until next year. Hoping that lexus will have a refresh of the IS line up next year. Do you have any news if there's a 2018 version?
The 2017 is the mid-cycle refresh. The next big change will be in 2020. I wish they had triple led bulbs headlights on this model they look badass but wont happen in the next few years.
little updates most likely for 2018, the small tweaks they usually do, maybe triple beam leds for the US market, and the new nav software most likely found in the LC, LS500, and 2018 NX
Loved this video! Thank you for the information! Question for you: does the IS 200t come with a navigation system? Because on the Lexus website I only see the F Sport 1 package available which doesn't seem to include Nav! And the outside specs and look seem to be identical to the IS 300 - is this right? Thank you in advance
Great question! The Nav system is separate from the FSport Package. I actually drive an FSport IS200t and I have the Nav. system in mine. The website can def. be complicated......
Always watch your videos, THX! May be one day I'll find out anything new about my RX 350 2009 (BIG SECRET)... May be it can fly or dive like sub? Or I could mine BITCOINS using it's Navigation system, but I didn't know that.
Great question. Personally, I like the IS200t because of the rear seat and I like a sporty sedan anyways. As far as performance, they are both pretty similar and the looks, I like the IS200t better. I guess you could say that I am not much of a coupe person unless it's the V8 RCF! I hope this helps and thank you for contributing to the conversation, my friend! Brock
HowToCarGuy thanks a lot mate,one more thing apart from 4 doors is there any options that I only get in rx200 f or is200 f or all the options are same?
The problem fo the RC200t is it's weight of over 2 tons. A RC350 isn't faster as a IS250. ... BUT .... The chassis setup of the RC is definitely more oriented in direction of a sportscoupe than the IS. So you will be slower, but the fun factor will be higher.
I really dont like the fact that Lexus got rid of the dual beam front headlights. Those things looked great and very luxurious. To me, the direction the headlights took is a downgrade. The tailpipes also are a problem. Don't get me wrong they look grate but the new rear structure will make installing an aftermarket exhaust a little difficult.
Premium fuel?!! Screw this car. The only reason I like the f sport is because of the digital gauge, better spindle grill, and red interior. but now screw that I'm going with the tlx that's supports android auto/carplay

I just got one in the same colors. I haven't driven it yet though.
I got my IS 200t F-Sport with red interior last week and I LOVE it!
Gurjit Singh me too!
You put premium fuel in it right?
How is it holding up?
no die sell huh? this dude is funny.
This guy is too funny- yet very informative. Thank you sir!
Clicked the video looking for the blue car in the thumbnail... found something cooler... Blue socks!
+MikesCarInfo Thanks Mike!!! I'm glad you stopped by! By the way, I LOVED your video on the Civic Type R.

i found one online 2017 for $19,000 (Yeah i was shocked too but it got sold)
Hows your overall experience with the IS? Any issues? Im thinking of getting one now for $27,275 with 25k miles. It's also a CPO.
When you need a line assist warning system, you are unfit for driving on open road.
Brock Frady thank you very much for all your detailed explanations. Your Videos are very informative and educational keep up the good work.

+james muller Thank you for contributing to the conversation!
+Klaas-Jan Huntelaar Triple beams could make a lawn mower look like a Ferrari! I love those things!!!
Thank you for the vid!! Made up my mind now! :)
The Nav system look better than the 2016 IS 200t
I agree. It's mainly because of the larger screen. The backup camera also seems more clear. Thanks for the comment!

you could totally pull off the "where's waldo" look.
did you really call diesel "deisal"?
Otherwise a nice and in-depth video, but what's completely missing is the DRIVING
I guess Tony Hawk retired from skating
+vincent estonactoc Yeah. Knees were killing me...
This is a great combination. Do they still offer Obsidian?
how is the Reliability in this turbo lexus Engines?
I like this car
is there no smart keyless entry? like where you just put ur hands on the door handle and they open?
You need Lexus socks. Yeah any color would be 👍
+Алекс Ко EXACTLY!!! I'd rock those in every video 👌
Always watch your videos, THX! May be one day I'll find out anything new about my RX 350 2009 (BIG SECRET)... May be it can fly or dive like sub? Or I could mine BITCOINS using it's Navigation system, but I didn't know that.
Thanks for sharing. Is their a way to program the seat on this model
That 0 to 60 ain't bad for a 4 cylinder
Does lexus offer massage in the front seats?
+Advisable Great question! No massaging front seats but that's an awesome idea and I understand that a handful of manufacturers offer that.
Thank you
F sport products that are available are???
Which one is better to buy with same price tag rc200t f or is200f.Which one is better looking upfront and faster?

how come i have the same car , and my full tank reads 336 miles , and yours says 400
When is the 2018 model going to come out?
My local Lexus dealer told me just a few days ago that the 2018's will be arriving in 30-45 days.
David Wolf not spring 2018?
The IS (intelligent socks ) f sport 200t lol 😂
is it better fuel economy than the IS350 .I also feel confused between the IS and the ES
thái nguyen avoid turbo if you're planning to buy the car instead of leasing it. they cost a lot to replace.
+thái nguyen That's right, better fuel economy but the IS350 has 306hp.... IS sports car / ES350 family car.
Amir maybe the 2017 frame has been lifted
Wow. Fuel injection is sooo loud.
How tall you are ?
I’m 6’3”.
Those are Leeeeexus Socks.
my dad has the same car 👍 car
