Lexus IS 2014+ :: IS250 F-Sport In Sport Mode?
Jan 16, 2015
It's just the throttle response? Is steering or brakes enhanced or is it just me? I know the Is250 didn't get the suspension option like the IS350.

How this is still happening. My gf's '14 IS250 AWD has had 3 misfire code that popped up at about 8.5k, 13K, and 15k miles now. First time it happened it wasn't severe, it vibrated a bit and engine light lit up. Took it to Openroad Lexus of Richmond and they said it's a random misfire code and no other troubling codes came up. They suggested maybe it was bad gas. So they reset the ECU, cleared the code and we went on our way.
Fast forward to 13k miles, only about half a year later, it happened again, except it vibrated vigorously and the engine light is flashing. So we had it towed back this time and have them look at it again. Codes were random misfire and misfire on cylinder 3. Now this time they said the culprit is a bad ignition coil. So they replaced that and car is alright again.
At 15k miles, about 2.5 months from the last incident (a few days ago), same thing happened again. It even went into limp mode on a stretch of road that had a speed limit of 50 mph. So again we towed it in to the same dealership to have them fix it, yet again. Interestingly, the code is misfire in cylinder 5. The tech mentioned they tried swapped ignition coil and plug to see if problem will go away but it didn't so they checked the fuel injectors for fault. The injector was faulty and leaking. They saw lots of fuel in that cylinder so they replaced the injector with a new one.
She only ever gets premium for gas, so all that bad gas thing doesn't hold. And the car has always been serviced on time by Openroad Lexus of Richmond, according to their recommended intervals.
Lexus IS 2014+ :: New LS300 Sluggish Even In Sport Mode
2016 IS300.
I've had it for 4 days now, and I've never had a brand new car so maybe this is a moot point. But the car simply feels heavy and sluggish. I'm at a little over 300 miles and the car just doesn't have much zip compared to my 2010 IS. Also, when I had the clear bra done at Lexus they gave me an identical loaner (2016 IS300 AWD) with around 800 miles and it felt totally different.
I remember with my 2010 reading that the car has to "learn" how you drive, etc. With my 2016 it'll go from a dead stop, them a couple of shifts in it drops to a super low gear. Even in sport mode it feels sluggish. In ECO mode... Well, lets just say that feels laughable.
Why was my loaner (which was identical to my new car) much zippier in the normal mode? Is this something I should be concerned about? The car runs fine, just no zip (yet).
Lexus IS 2014+ :: Steering Wheel More Responsive In Sport Mode
Recently I started driving on eco mode to have the smoothest ride/acceleration. However, yesterday I wanted to get my dose of sport mode and WOT, so I switched to sport mode and stepped on the gas and during a small curve I felt the car steering is stiffer than usual, so I thought it could be due to speed. After that I reduced my speed and tried switching between sport and eco back to back and the sport mode steering actually is stiffer and more responsive! . I was surprised because my car is not the F sport, it is the normal is350 with tech package, and Lexus didn't mention this when describing the sport mode.

I am feeling disappointed just came out of a lemon law suit with a kia optima I bought two years ago. I figured we'll I should buy a better brand this time which my brother recommended cause I was going to buy another Infiniti I always had good things with those cars. But the last 2 nights I have been hearing a squeaking noise in my rear end of my brand new IS 350 F Sport. Only in sport plus mode. I was driving home from work at 2 am and driving through a canyon road cause I want to see how this car does as soon as the road got a little bumpy I was hearing a squeaking noise come out of the rear of the car. Then I get home and I hear it going over my speed bumps in my complex of my condos. So I think we'll that's odd. I take it out of sport plus mode and back to eco and drive around the complex again and it goes away. Remind you I have 484 miles on the car.

So i noticed, when in auto mode, whether sport mode is on or off, it does the same thing. If i floor it from a stand still, the transmission takes noticeably longer to go from 1st into 2nd then from 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th, etc. 1st to 2nd takes like a good second, kinda like this:
1st VROOOOM.....................2nd VROOOM..3rd VROOOM..4th.....etc..
If I drive it in manual mode, then it shifts just as fast. So this only happens in auto.

View 14 RepliesIS F (2008-2014) :: Car Is Very Sluggish And Up Shifts Slow Even With Sport Mode On
I recently traded in my 2013 Audi TTRS in a very limited edition color. For my 2008 Lexus ISF... With 71k Miles. And I feel as if the car is very sluggish and up shifts are slow even with sport mode on! My buddy has an ISF as well and he even said mine shifts slower than his. I was wondering if maybe the previous owner skipped a few key maintainence things to cause such an issue. And yes I know how to drive a care, yes it's in sport mode and yes the vehicle is warmed prior to stupidity. The last recorded maintenance was at 60K miles.
