good choice

Damn I thought youtube glitched when I saw Austin driving this thing 😂

[@memelogy737]

Anything Toyota made, will outlive you. I have driven many German cars but a luxury from Japan might not sound as good as the German’s but will not fail you.

[@brandonconway4822]

Weird, we had a Camry go to wholesale at 23k with a rod knock so bad you could almost feel it. Lets not forget how the new Tundra was almost immediately recalled for turbo failures. The dissolving frames were a thing too.

[@memelogy737]

@@brandonconway4822 camry is a work horse, cheap to repair and parts, wouldn’t consider it a luxury vehicle but thats just my opinion. I live in Middle east, almost every taxi/uber is a either a Camry here or a Corolla.

[@OneDudeRocks]

I owned several BMWs and still do. Never had a single problem with one of them, none broke down or had any mechanical/technical problems. My Toyota GR Yaris that I have for two and a half years now shows errors or has technical issues every once in a while, so it is not true for every car.

[@MA-kr6yv]

@@OneDudeRocksthats very true but generally speaking german cars especially early 2003ish-2015ish bmws are horrendously unreliable and expensive to fix no car company is perfect tho theyve all had their own problems at 1 point

Really wasn’t expecting you to have a car like this. Most tech KZbinrs go for a tesla but this put a smile on my face

[@kevinmiranda1769]

This car is seriously underrated like nobody talks about it… who wouldn’t want a naturally aspirated v8 under their hood

[@insayn7995]

Had no idea you were a car guy, and one with impeccable taste too. What a wonderful car.

[@Pankieblah]

A real enthusiast vehicle. You have my respect, Mr. Evans.

[@Loganslament]

Yooo respect on the car. And congrats and welcome to fatherhood. I feel Hella old now watch you mature.

[@zlyable]

That's impressive mate, I expected you to be in a Model 3 😂

[@milkmanSandro]

Very decent car for the price point

[@CavinLay]

"Naturally aspirated" is an understatement. It's nothing to write home about in terms of speed like the turbo counterparts, but the feeling is just different. Love it. Turbo these days are getting better (almost no more turbo lag) but this is still the best.

[@Alex-ju8tr]

Shoulda cut it off after those giggles, no review can top the unguarded simplicity of pure joy

[@rcjunior888]

As a viewer and subscriber and a Car Guy. I love your taste as your daily driver. The only V8 IS available after the death of the IS F. I’ve sat in one at a auto show. Pretty cool ride

Amazing car I have the 350 v6. Was going to get the 500 but didn't want to spend more gas for right now lol. If you guys want one please do not get the v4 twin turbo one. It is very underpowered. The is350 and 500 are the way to go.

HAHA this is 100% sick, all the tech tubers out there have clean EVs and 2-second 0-60's. Austin's out here with a v8 and giggles. The other tech tubers might have missed the plot on performance cars.

[@bla9ckcob5ra]

I like the car the ordering process sucked when I was trying to get one. I placed a deposit in May ‘22 and didn’t get a call to just this past July about them having one. It wasn’t my preferred build and I had started looking for other options around the late fall early winter last year. This past February I found a car optioned the way I wanted and pulled the trigger on ‘20 Mustang GT with ~10k miles. Around May the dealership told me they a RCF in stock that I checked out but couldn’t test drive it or anything. It was a bit out of price range compared to the IS500 but I really wanted to was the car and it’s powertrain enough to make me jump. I was a little sour on the experience but I had kept the mustang and did some modifications and now this it’s making the power and looking the way I want it. I was attracted to the ISF and IS500 in the first place because it seemed like a 4 door coyote mustang at first on paper. But the performance after market a bit lacking and the markups being a thing at the time I think I came out better with the Mustang. I may try to get a used one later on.

[@jbm0866]

Doesn't have the awe inspiring looks of the LC 500 and the exhaust tuning doesn't sound quite as epic, (still better than any V6 out there) but it's a great way to get the same wonderful V8 engine in a more practical package and also save $40k+!
