[@scottwilliams7005]

Actually there are an abundance of 60 and 70 year old guys who love to modify cars, me included. I agree these Q60-Q50 types were not designed to be pure 0-60 performers but they will do very well against the "muscle cars" like Olds 442 And Chevy 409. Even the '67 Shelby GT500 was around a 6 second performer. My 2014 Q60 will clock round 5.5 on a cold day. I do think your Q50 is one of the finer I have seen for sure. I am a big fan of the blacked out Q50.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Thank you Scott! I’m glad to have you following along! Funny you mention the 442. My dad has a 69 and kicks himself everyday for selling it when I was young, but you are so right-the old muscle cars that everyone remembers as being so fast would easily be outrun by many family sedans these days.

You do get more juice out of the q50 for a lesser price. But in terms of reliability the lexus wins. in terms of perofrmance the q50 gets the upper hand. Still a very tough choice.

Honestly man from the 2014-2020 Is series there really arent major changes other than the tail lights and the exhausts. I believe in the coming of years Lexus is gona redesign the IS. But if you can find an older model by a couple years less you can save a few more bucks. But its totally up to you. If you can find an F sport thats great.

No. If the car is shifting a little rough, it might be a good idea to do a drain and fill. Do not flush.

6 k more for leather seats better suspension better wheels paddle shifter better looking not only that you don’t need to go around to all get that work done you get it as is and they come with better tune I rather have this work done by the actual manufacturer than some third party mechanic making is less reliable the 6 k isn’t shit it’s well worth it for sure you gonna spend more in the long run having to risk unreliable work done by third party machanics

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Basically all of that is incorrect. The sport seats are better-I will give you that. Sport suspension is garbage. Didn’t want it in the first place, but always planned on going Coilovers so spending extra for a sport for the suspension doesn’t make sense when 90% of people change it anyway. Paddle shifters can be had for $200 and swapped in in under 30 minutes. Literally the easiest thing you can do. The front bumper is the only visual difference, and with a splitter in the non sport- it looks damn good. And the sport and non sport have exactly the same tune from the factory. Absolutely no difference. This is not 3.0t we are talking about. There is no silver sport or red sport 400.

[@PeterPiccolo]

is there even a factory-equipped manual transmission q50 out there or is the g37 g 35 the only manual transmission option?? figured my like and subscribe is worth asking a question... i am definitely in the market i would love to know if i can bang gears or if a paddle shifter is all i can get with the q50.. thanks in advance brother i appreciate it!! -peter joseph

I’d say that mileage is too high for that price

[@carlosesparzavazquez4753]

13-14k is good price for that . That’s too much money for the mileage

[@ChristopherStandardTime]

read a few things on some forums about long-term viability of the transmission, especially after it crosses the 100k-mile mark, i.e. keep an eye on it because the transmission may need a rebuild. any thoughts?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

I don’t think that it’s an issue. Plenty of g37s well over 100k. Any vehicle with that many miles can expect issues

I've done a video recently about that--Is the Q50 a good first car. Depends on what you can afford.
