I want to get this car so bad since I do a lot commute 👊🏻👊🏻

Love those lots of button

I’m thinking to buy one, I’m a 20 year old med student, I have prior experience with cars because I work on them with my dad, do you think that it will be a good first car?

I am looking to purchase a 2006 Lexus 250 with only 11100 miles on it for $8500 with 1 car owner❤

I have one. The 350 F sport AWD. Once I sat in it I was sold. Soooo comfortable. Even with my back problems it works for me.

I’ve owned 2 IS350s from this generation and can’t say enough good about this generation IS. If you’re fine with missing out on the power of the ISF or IS350 then you’ll love it to pieces.

I’m not sure if I’m the only one with this opinion, but I think this car has aged very well. There are times when I see this on the road and I can’t help but think how fresh it still looks in 2024. Certainly some cars from the 2000’s aged not so gracefully, but the Lexus IS has aged quite beautifully. Timeless.

Bro roller coaster road is my favorite, you’re in springs too, I have had an a4 sline b7 but just swapped for a stage 2 b5 s4 twin turbo, I’m looking at the 2012 a4 now and I love it

100% agree man!! I traded my GR86 for ND3 and I can't be happier! It's the most fun car I've owned and the cheapest to mantain!😍

Just picked up a 99 NB. Had a 96 NA back in the early 00s. Love these cars!

So I take you don not recommend this car due to oil starvation that will affect its long term reliability???

My dream car is the 2024 GR86 Trueno Edition Halo White Automatic ❤

Still drive 1999 Mazda Miata. I love it. All stock. It’s beautiful just the way it is. It was my dream car and she still is.

I got this car not because I have kids or anything but because I'm vary tall and anything smaller is NOT fun to dive😅

Very nice

Bought my 99 nb1 4 months ago right before winter fell upon Michigan. I’ve been itching to get her on the road collecting parts in my apartment all the while.

I just bought a 2000 miata 2 weeks ago that is in perfect stock condition besides the upholstery and soft-top being re-done. I love it more than I expected.

This is more beautiful than several 2024 cars i knows

cut the dam music

i got kicked out of my dads house at 18. only had $3k and still had to finish high school. i spent $2k on my 1999 buick park avenue and 3 years later she’s still my dependable Besse! She’s earned me more money being a great delivery vehicle and would not trade her for anything new

I daily drive an old Camry, and my experience with my local Toyota dealership has been awful. I paid 140 bucks to get my car serviced and my car came back 5 hours later with the service light on and my tire lights still on. They said it was cold out so the tires got uneven, which is Bull crap because im a lazy bastard and drove into the dealership with uneven tires. When I asked about the service, a guy at the service desk said the oil looked brand new (which im skeptical about since I didnt get my oil changed until 8K+ miles) I still don’t know if they actually took a look at my car. For all I know my hunk of junk is still running on dirty oil and I’m down 140 bucks :/

You can also get a gently used M240i for the price of a new Civic type R. Yes, Honda overpriced the CTR and dealerships charging crazy mark ups.

The only thing it lacks is the straight line speed that you can get in some of its competitors in this price range.

Love the review. I brought one December 22, 2023. Love it so far. Everything you said was spot on.

Due to a few reviews , comments and discussions on forums about interior space in the is250 I was a bit apprehensive about fitting in. I'm 6 foot 5 - 93kgs slim dad bod build 🙈 and I fit comfortably, there's plenty of adjustment in the seats. Very relaxed driving experience with little but of poke/ pull. From research they do have issues unfortunately. 1. Carbon build up on headers (direct injection) 2. Sticky / melting dash & interior panels. I'm sure some owners could elaborate on others . Considering buying one - car tax In Ireland 🇮🇪 is high 1080euro per year. Great review 💪

I have rebuilt this engine due to rod knock caused by this. The amount of sealant used is crazy. Sealant is used everywhere with few o-rings and gaskets used. The sealant in the pickup comes from everywhere, especially the valve covers!

I hope they do a recall, I dont think its that bad of an issue. The cases of the engine failures were not due to rtv idk if they used 5w-30 on track day but for 9 months of driving my brz, It hasnt blown up lol or given any issues what so ever.

It’s not even the joke that I find funny (no offense) it’s the fact that you said “MIATA” and “HEAVY CAR” in the same sentence 😂

Btw, when ya get to be my age. (62) For an everyday driver, you'll ultimately get tired of a manual. I have my... real car that a manual. But she only goes out a half a dozen times a year. Thanks.

i have 2014 traverse 100k, no issues in 4 years, excellent and so comfortable suv!

Wow

I also a have an EV for a daily. It’s great for commuting and has gobs of torque and power, but for a fun day out of DRIVING nothing beats my NB Miata. I prefer NA’s, but decent ones have gotten a little pricey. You can still get a nice, clean NB for pocket change.

Just got one.

This is a deal breaker as far as I am concerned. I would not buy a GR86 or BRZ (assuming they too have this issue) until it is completely resolved. I feel bad for anyone who bought these cars and is now dealing with this issue.

The headroom, especially getting in/out of the driver door is pretty low. I also miss the rear window wiper and the double rear hatch window. Could be better. But it's much much nicer to drive than Gen 3 and prior.

This car is Gen 5. I have owned Gen 1, 2, 3 and 4. So I know the Prius. However, what in the world went wrong with the design of the cruise control driver interface. For 20+ years Toyota had it dead right. This interface is terrible. Shame on Toyota.

I have a 2006 is 250 with 284,000 miles and still runs smooth and reliably. One of the best cars ever made they last a lifetime and are a hidden gem.

I have a white 2016 Countryman S and I love it. I'm modifying it to be like this czcams.com/video/Pib70fsRcpI/video.html

i’m buying a 2012 A4 quattro premium with 100K miles on it from a dealer for 10K. Is it worth the buy?

I just ordered a grey MT GR86 (basic) and was told I should get it around February 2024 (I'm sure it will be delayed but that is fine). I'll follow your exemple and have them drop the drop the pan a few times early at the beginning of the car's life. I do not intend to track it so I should be able to enjoy driving this car. Hopfully with all this RTV bad press, I figure Toyota made some corrections by applying less RTV in some areas. Thanks for the video.

I’m about to paint my yellow deuce. What exact color is this yellow?

I have a gr86 sitting at 2,600 miles and I was wondering when should I take it to the dealership? I been pushing the car but never tracked it. It has just been my daily driver but likes to push the car sometimes.

Thank you. I have owned a 99 Miata since 2002. Luv it!

I drove my 2008 IS250 for Uber and Lyft for one month. I felt like it was blasphemy to drive such a nice car for rideshare. So...I bought a slow 2015 Toyota Corolla for the rideshare gig. I kept my IS250 and I think it's pretty luxurious. Faster and more luxurious than the Corolla that's for sure!

Toyota and Subaru should be looking forward to a Class action suit pretty soon. They need to man up and admit there is a problem and FIX IT for current customers, and more importantly FIX THE MANUFACTURING process applying too much rtv - that simple. The GR86 is a great IDEA of a car and I hope the 2024 by Toyota STOPS THE USE OF SUBARU ENGINES !!! WTH !! Toyota makes their own engines !!! Put a V6 Toyota turbo in this thing and call it good. Very disappointed in Subaru especially. Very. Very.. Very. Disappointed. Not going to be a Subaru customer any time soon - and I grew up with the early Subarus.

I’m looking to get my first car. Looking to buy a used Kia, think I’m set on the Optima. For as old as it is, it seems to be an excellent car, plus it’s actually pretty cute to look at

Sorry to hear your bad experience, I am taking del of my GR86 2023 this week, your experience is kind of scaring me but all the research that I have done, ppl said that RTV wasn't an issue for everybody, I guess if your car was build on a Friday or on a Monday first thing lol. Also the key fob malfunction happened to my Mercedes GLB so it happens I guess Good luck and I hope I get a better made vehicle.

At around what mileage should I take the car to the dealership to remove the RTV I’m buying one soon and it has 6 miles on the clock.

Just dropped $3800 as a deposit for a new engine on one of these. In about 3 weeks I’ll be throwing out another $3800. This car really gets a death grip on you cuz I love it so much but I hate spending so much on it.
