      @@hamzalawal9631 bro you can do it it wasn’t really that expensive find a one owner car I believe you will be driving one ☝️ and if you want the best hp go with AWD it’s still taking time to get use to it but all around great

      @mastachi888 I understand, but I live in a third-world country, and this is super luxurious here. I recently lost my job trying to find another so I could maybe buy a 2014 Camry se. I also love that car too. Maybe one day I will be able to afford an IS

    ill add a more reflective ownership review. i have a 2016 is300awd fsport. bought in 2021 with 50k mi (80k km). Car is currently just under 210k km (125k mi). Still on original rear brakes, 3x brake service to the front with one rotor replacement in that, diff and trans drain and fill, and otherwise just regular oil changes; also did plugs at 200k km.
    The issues: I had a differential pinion seal leak around 160k km. $13 seal from lexus but $1000 repair job maybe less. I have mechanics in my circle so I paid...pretty much free. Secondly I had the water pump make noise within the first 10k km of owning the car. This was replaced under Lexus' 6 year warranty. Third, the radio headunit has shit the bed recently and the amp has an issue since early into ownership (not enough to matter). Replacement headunit is 10k from lexus, amp is 3k. No one ever buys new, you just get remanufactured or get yours repaired from speciality shops. I also have inner tire wear. I did the RCF LCA bushing upgrade which helps the issue but doesn't get rid of it.
    All in all, the car has costed me around $1000 in non-maintenance items per year-ish. Not bad. And yeah fuel economy is trash but I drive hard.
    Of the issues my car had, tires are a known issue on all IS models even from the 2IS. Radio issue is well documented as is a matter of time for all of these cares. Pinion seal was the real odd ball

      as for gas cap, it's the cable thing that attaches to the gas cap. Happens to mine to. It just gets in the way. just move it out of the way and it closes fine.

    Just got the 2017 with 35km on it. Super comfy car but gas mileage is terrible - getting 14L/100km here in Canada.
    Definitely recommend the ZZ2 CarPlay system - works well.

      Inner tire wear is an easy fix, replace the lower control arm bushing with either the RC F bushing or a even sportier r racing or super pro bushing. Not too bad to do it yourself but even at a shop it shouldn’t be much

    I’m a 18 year old trying to finance a 2015 Lexus is350 f sport 6-speed AWD, but I’m scared of the transmission and can’t find much about it. I’ve tried researching about it and can’t find nothing. Is the 6-speed awd a good transmission? Where I live it snows a lot!

    • @Fbyota
      @Fbyota  Před 8 měsíci +4

      It is. Honestly toyota makes one of the, if not the best 6 speed single clutch automatic transmission. It lacks in shifting speed but its very reliable.

    • @sshah2545
      @sshah2545 Před 7 měsíci +8

      That transmission is practically bulletproof. With minor adjustments the engine and trans in the 3.5V6 cars is the same as the Tacoma.
      It’ll shift smoothly at 400k miles, don’t worry about it..
      Just don’t get in over your head on financing at 18
