Yea i notice this about the car..I drive a Hilux 4plug turbo charged...I noticed when I ever i jam this lexus for highway, it doesnt come close unlike Lexus ES350.
But this particular lexus 250 looks more sporty and has a loud Exhaust.

Being sporty with loud exhaust is how it camouflage its weakness. 😁

Hilux is in another world of its own..

To be fair, the type of fuel matters. Nigeria doesn't have premium fuel, which helps in speed.

It is furious, but it is not fast!
It roars like a hungry lion, but sprints like a housecat!
It growls like a beast but moves like a goat in sandals!
It drives like a fast and furious car but Paul walker wouldn’t even walk with it.
It’s quad exhausts scream "catch me if you can!" But sadly, most cars can catch it!
It is a sheep that is fully cladded in wolves clothing!
It also barks but it does not bite at all!

Who is this fraud? It is a Lexus. The only Lexus that lied to me!

If these credentials are correct then it is the car every Nigerian car enthusiast should aspire to own. cool

Great POST and spot on! IS250 is a well known laggard. But some people still believe its the best things after jollof rice. The REAL DEAL which they fail to properly identify is the IS350 and recently the IS500.

Those are the REAL BEAST churning out SMOOTH power with absolute GRACE.

Well said. The difference in speed between the IS 250 and IS 350 is like night and day. A significant 100 horsepower difference. Don’t even attempt to use a Lexus ES350 or Benz C300 (and even some C350s) to race with the IS 350 or higher, you will be disgraced.

Wao! Your experience is breathtaking. 😁

I never said the IS250 was “slow”. It’s a 2.5 direct injection V6. 😎. All I am saying is that, with the way it looks and handles, it should have been faster.

Have you driven the equivalent IS350 sir?

Yes, the IS 350 comes with both a direct injection and port injection V6 so it doesn’t suffer from carbon buildup like IS 250.
Bottom line don’t look at the shape of every Lexus Is and assume it is a 250. First verify before you thing about engaging it in a drag race. E get why

I see… so why is the fuel sold in Nigeria call Premium Motor Spirit (PMS)?🤔

Thank you so much for the kind words.

TikTok version is already in the works.

Seun should pay for content like this. You did well, even though you took one of my favourites in the past to court.

So, you used to be a great fan of the IS250?

Seun is stingy. He won't pay.

IS250 is still on my list. Maybe IS350 would do - after this court session, I changed my mind.

Anything he wants to do with his forum is his personal business.

Get the IS350 if budget is not an issue..

The engine is being detuned from the factory. If you know your way around the engine. Na speed demon o

Carbon build up at the top of the engine also no Dey make the car move. It’s the usual problem with is250.

The car was my baby for 2years until

Exactly, I wonder why a majority of Nigerians go for the IS250 with its direct injection engine, and carbon buildup issues when you can opt for the IS350 with both port and direct injection without the carbon buildup issue, and you get more power even at 270hp ish.
