Is my Lexus ISF Still the BEST Car I've Bought? 

Isf is so underrated tbh

One thing I've learnt is that every car is a compromise in some aspect. You can't have it all in one. The great thing as you've demonstrated is that you don't have to be rich if you're a driving enthusiast. Plenty of old gems to be experienced.

You really are making a brand name out there with your greatly articulated reviews. You have surely mastered your craft!

To satisfy my manual crave, I paired my ISF with an Honda s2000. The perfect combo.

_You’ve nailed it man, some take a life time and never realize. It’s not about the cost or the looks or big horsepower, it’s about the FUN factor, that’s the true enthusiast_ 💯

I do like the instant beard mode it comes with.

Love your videos, though you definitely can beat an na v8, supercharged they are insane. Keep up the great vids!

Love it!! Looking forward to the cheap car challenge ❤

Great choice. Enjoy the next chapter.

Well well well I see you got yourself the bimmer my guy, also because of you is why I’m looking into getting a manual myself

Good review! Only gripe is that if I wanted a comparison with BMW, I’d have searched for it. But your second point about “nothing beats…a sedan” sold me. On the hunt now!

Thank you bro for letting me have this great ISF.

The main problem with the 130i to me is that it looks kind of like a shoe lol.

Glad you're enjoying BMW life again haha😅 I can see how much you love an NA engine with a manual transmission, imagine if it was K series powered, actually S65 powered would be epic

Curious what the longevity of these ISFs are? Was yours high km? Cheers! Nice choice on the 130i manual I test drove one a while back and wished I’d bought it, cracking car to drive!

An ISF is certainly the best car I’ve owned and I’ve owned a lot.

Sad to see the isf go. Would be interesting to see if your 130i is going to be modified

ISF was a great car, but I am keen for the upcoming content with the 130i!

Wouldn't change mine. I went full FBO, remap and weight reduction and she still keeps up with the competition. What strut brace is this on yours? Thanks

I have also driven the 130i and it was incredible, did you buy this under 10k or over?

Id love to see you Project your personal fave honda- buy one and slowly do it up over the years and bring us along for the ride haha - I mean serious Honda- not el classico typee R done up etc im talking 400hp Supercharged K24 in a Beagle type serious haha

On a side note, anyone know if a K24 swapped manual RX8 has been done?

noooooo, no more isf videos😢

I find my self feeling the same. As good as the car is nothing beats thrashing around a manual car, even if it is a shitbox haha

I always get shellshocked when I unknowingly click on a New Zealand youtube video and think "is that what we sound like??" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Those Euro R accords 🔥

I've always wanted a ISF but got a 370Z instead for my weekend warrior I have a few regrets not getting it but I know I'll miss having the manual if I did went for the Lexus

I can totally relate, It’s funny i’ve had c63 Amg 204 for a while now and it’s doesn’t make me smile like my old fn2 simply because of than manual box. Yeah it sounds crazy and superbly fast however deep down it feels like something it missing.

My dream car man beautiful. I have an is250 and I love it but i would love more power

I think the ISF is a great car but no the current price lol. I was looking into buying one before but was put off by the narrow rear seats. There was just not enough room in the rear seats which defeats the purpose of buying a sedan. I went with the Mercedes e55 instead with far more superior interior and raw power.

Ever drove a Nissan Fuga 450Gt?

Do you still hoon around on 50cc Scooters?

Wait don’t you owned a 130i and lexuse? Baller!!

I'm biased. Wagon legacy GT life haha. Not as quick but perfect for family holidays. Throw scooters in the back and still not packed! And waiting for its next track day....!

Indeed a very nice car, the lexus. Sad to see any car go. But, by the sounds of it, you miss a good old VTECing Honda. Perhaps the Hondas are yet to make a return??

Do you still own the Accords?

btw 130i is Highly demanded and of the most sought off. Light car straight 6

ok ok ok ill buy another bmw thanks for the videos on the ISF and your mindset Love The isf but the E92 m3 is perfection even with the headaches same with most Bmws If you can do your own work its worth the savings.

Isf ❤

I love my ISF , more than my GSF

one day i will buy ISF they don’t make them anymore IS500 is the last V8 species ISF future classic beautiful engine noise 400+bhp lexus reliability the best power money can get

The best car ever made is the Suzuki Alto, or if you can't find one of those, then a 3 cylinder Micra might do, an if you want the ultimate best car ever made, and money's no object, then a base model 1.3 Yaris it is.

Honda time 😮

ISF means IS FUN or FANTASTIC 😊

Neh. Would have kept the ISF if im being honest

a lexus to A BMW really 😢

BMW will be in shop monthly , 😂

🫶🏻

DSG, DCT, ABC, XYZ, etc.. all these gearboxes are "techinically" better than a manual, but, there is no mastery. Why learn to play the guitar when Carlos Santana or Eddie Van Halen is always going to be better than you. It's the mastery of something. It can't be beaten. I'd buy a manual EV if I could, even though it makes no sense. A manual clutch and gearbox is a beautiful thing. So are superchargers.

no

"PromoSM" 😡

Genuinely curious as to why your not interested in old japs like JZ’s, RB’s and SR’s. if your looking for a weekend car why not
