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.

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.

[@Z28videogates]

Great car! Had one and got 27mpg highway. Damaged one rim one time and the factory 19x11 wheel was $1900! Only thing I really didn’t like about it was the gas range was only like 240 miles in a full tank - assuming you drive normal.

[@NOLAItsNotOva]

Currently at 141k miles on my 15 RC-F. Gets daily driven, used for detailing, track use, etc. All I've ever done was oil changes, tires, and brakes. Just upgraded LCA bushings to stop the inner tire wear issue and I'm about to swap out the struts and shocks. They aren't leaking, but I'm feeling then getting softer, which isnt ideal for fast cornering lol

[@johannjohann6523]

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.

I have owned my ultrasonice blue isf for 8 years now. It is by far the longest i have ever owned any car. Main reason o kept it was becasue you really just dont see these anywhere.

[@komradkolonel]

At first I thought this video might be about a Crown Vic. You get a lot of car for the money with those and unlike a lot of Ford cars now they are pretty reliable. I'm kind of interested in the Lexus LC500 but the prices on those are really up there. I'm not sure that prices on those are going to come down much if at all.

[@Marven1k]

It's the new trend

[@-mp]

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.

[@thetechgenie7374]

Very true Was a BMW technician and love them. Definitely one thing BMW makes way to complex is their V8’s and definitely need extensive service. Look at their N63, they literally made 4 revisions to that motor the first revision was a disaster in reliability. Then came the TU which fixed a lot of issues and a much better engines. All still to this day have valve stems that get hard and pain to replace them. This Lexus in this video is definitely way more reliable I work on one like it and wasn’t much wrong with it.
