Rumbly Gumbly V8

I've had my IS 500 since mid-February 2022, and I am smitten. The car is comfortable and easy to drive. I have since added an aftermarket exhaust to amplify that big V8 and that purr inside the cabin is all I need to put a smile on my face. I am glad I got this car and have no regrets. It is a comfortable touring car and has that power on demand when you need it!

IS 500 Launch Edition No 59/500

The car is killer. There were 100 LE's for Canada so this was not just a US release. The "problems" listed are not a big deal, its the equivalent to a valve on the exhaust that is not tight enough, it's fixed no charge and a loaner is provided....there is no "buyers remorse", that could not be further from the truth, that's actually really funny.....The Suede interior is nice and smooth, the exterior color and wheels are awesome, the car is very comfortable, the stereo is ridiculous and the car drives and accelerates like sweet, sweet candy...the only remorse out there are those who didn't call the dealer first thing on that Monday in March in 2021....The car was about $68,500 average if you paid sticker, the LE's are selling for 87k right now. The car is nasty.

Check engine light after 100 miles

The sound of the v8 is incredible and I love the way the car drives. However, there’s definitely a manufacturing defect. Multiple reports of IS 500 check engine lights. Some buyers have been dealing with this for weeks. I’d wait until the kinks are worked out before spending the money on one. Unfortunately, this has led to pretty serious buyers remorse. UPDATE: check engine light was resolved and this car is a blast! So much character which is rare for a car in 2022.

Lexus IS 500 completely disappointed

Waited for 14 years for this launch and everything about getting it has made me so sad. First of all the dealers want a 18-24k over sticker mark up to purchase and they supposedly will order for you, then they want a deposit to hold the car that you have no clue if you will like. Finally, the launch edition arrived at a local dealership and ran to see the car of my dreams, what a disappointment, not what I was expecting at all… How can they expect people to pay 83k or more for this. It’s unbelievable
