They are great cars and underrated for sure, I have a 08 with 41,000km on it and love it, and they have 416hp not 401. The engines heads were done by Yamaha and has titanium inlet valves, a lot of technology in the 2URGSE. The console trim isn’t faux carbon it’s actually real weaved aluminum. And yes you can shift faster than the computer, sport mode with manual shifts in 0.01 of a second faster than in drive. They have a few issues like leaking valley plate, cracked oem headers and melting dash, but very reliable and powerful.

They are very rare at just over 5000 units in the usa over 6 years of production. I have supercharged mine and its now making 650whp. It has been an awesome car to own!

@3omab 2 месяца назад

How to make your 2nd gen IS fun again. Theres a code to take the traction ctrl off completely, without it turning back on after a slide. Shut down the car, have the handbrake on, turn on the car, floor the brake pedal twice, then hold it down, pull the handbrake down and do it twice, down --> up, down --> up, then leave it up, release the brake and floor it down twice again, you hear a beep and all the assists are off, only turns back on if you shut down the car and back on. This only works for 2006-2008 prefacelift, there is a video on youtube aswell, search for how to turn off is250/350 traction control off.

@-mp 2 месяца назад

Compared to V8 powered cars nowadays it’s underpowered, especially for the price these things still go for. You won’t find a clean one under 20 grand unless it’s salvage, clapped out or super high mileage. And even then finding decent ones for the low 20s is a rarity. For the 20-30 even upwards of 40 grand you could spend on an ISF there’s just MANY better options out there depending on what the potential buyers are looking for. The only people buying these cars are people who know what they are and you REALLY gotta want em to pay the crazy used price on one.

@johannjohann6523 2 месяца назад

Really for any car you should never skimp on tires. As they are the ONLY thing between the car, you and the road! Good tires also help in that ever important thing called "braking". You will stop in a shorter amount of distance with good tires. And that just might be the difference between having a wreck or not. But for any speeds over 120 MPH you do need special tires.

Bought an 06 is250 AWD with 85,000 KM on it last fall. Since then I’ve replaced the water pump as it failed as well as the alternator. Replaced 2 of the spark plugs but not all of them as I think the other 4 are hard to get to. Replaced all fluids and have done regular frequent oil changes since buying. It’s now somewhere at 120,000km and I’ve loved driving the car it is a tank! I will say it does feel underpowered at higher speeds and the transmission does feel kind of slow granted it is an older car. Overall car is smooth has no problems dealing with the Canadian winter up here and is a sweet car to cruise around in! Anyone have any tips or suggestions for me please feel free to leave a response!
