2016 IS350 F Sport
I hesitated to buy this car because of Consumer Reports rating. They did not like the car very much. Later I found their review was based on the entry level IS. My opinion is that this car is awesome. I have owned over fifty cars in my life. I am hard to please. This car accomplishes what it is supposed to do. When you factor in reliability it wins the class with little competition.

Dumped my Tesla.
Dumped my model 3 for the 2021 Lexus IS 350 with dynamic handling. For roughly the same price, the Lexus is hands down the better, nicer, sportier, and more luxurious ride. 5k miles so far an zero problems. Only complaint is that there’s no seat memory. Each time my wife drives my car, I find myself spending a few extra seconds trying to get my seat right. I’d buy again if I had the choice.

Just Wow!
Just traded in my 19' IS300 F sport for the 2021 IS350 F sport with the dynamics package, mark levinson/nav, tri beams. They improved the interior with a better guage cluster, infotainment system that is smooth and very clear and works great when I tested Apple car play and Android auto. The handling feels so much improved , smooth on rough surfaces, open it up in sport plus and the character changes and makes you smile. Feels very premium and the exterior styling is very aggressive yet tasteful. There is very little I can say negative about this car. As it stands the only thing I would want more of is more power but 311 HP AWD is plenty!

Aging Well
A one year review on a 2019 IS350 AWD F-sport 2. So far 6,500 trouble free miles. Car is a daily driver in all conditions, handles good in snow/ice, running high performance winter tires so it could be better. The looks of the car grow on you with the big grill, can see BMW has copied some areas on the new 2021 3&4 series. The Lexus Atomic Silver is beautiful paint, not too soft, a fine cut, polish and ceramic coating makes it look liquid in the sunlight. Brakes are spot on for mild to aggressive daily driving. Adjustable suspension makes a nice improvement in the corners. Now for some areas its lacking. Transmission: 6 speed Aisin is an ok transmission, very lacking in the shift quality of the ZF 8 speed. In eco mode it thinks the engine produces lots of torque at low RMP's and upshifts too early, it sport it wants to hold gears just because someone programmed it that way, in manual mode it tries to shift fast but just causes a rough shift instead, also in the AWD models the transfer case causes and large hump that can get in the way on the left hand drive models. Interior: layout is decent but lacking an adjustable sun visor for the side windows, very poor place to cut cost? Also no option for head-ups display like we see in much cheaper cars and in the competition. Engine: likely on of the most reliable engines in production, but its starting to show its age in lack of low end torque and just ok fuel economy. I do highly recommend if you buy your car and keep it for lots of miles or years, for fun of driving the Genesis G70 and BMW 3 series are better choices if you lease and keep 2-4 years. Update: my car recently had the fuel pump recall, otherwise has been problem free. I did try a new 2021 IS350 F-Sport and i can say the 2019 is a better car. The 2021 update is very disappointing. It does not address several short comings of the previous gen, actually makes things worse. For 2021 the IS 350 and RC 350 had an change in fuel consumption rating, the MPG went up some. From what i can tell it comes down to shift points in the transmission, the transmission in any mode is always trying to get to the highest gear as fast as possible.
