Great, reliable alternative to an E46 BMW. Too few pedals for my taste but I've always liked these.
Curious to see what it sells for. Cheap, cheap money at this stage. These are very nice cars and Lexus reliable, but being picky, it lacks soul.
I owned one about 4 years ago and it lacked the handling finesse of a BMW, by a considerable distance. Then again the power windows worked, the heater mtr didn't blow and the cooling system did not need new plastic parts on a rotating basis.
Ahh, my BMW's and Ex-Wives. Performance vs. Reliability?
I rode in a co-workers IS300 a bunch, and remember a lot of body roll and the chassis not quite knowing what to do with mid-corner pavement transitions. I also remember it being quieter inside and more comfortable than an E46. But this was when I had an E46 328i. There's a reason I had to bum rides off of him so frequently.
Anecdote time. During one of the many multi-week warranty repair visits to the dealership in my former E46 (1999 328iA financed new in 1998 FWIW), the loaner E46 I'd been driving lost its [automatic] transmission shifting from reverse to drive on a Sunday. After towing it back to the apartment complex to await a(nother) flatbed tow and a(nother) loaner, the hood release sensor decided to quit and the rest of the night the alarm went off every 3 – 5 minutes.
These are IMO one of the most perfect sedan shapes ever done, and it amazes me they got the whole 2JZ engine in there.
Yeah, reasonable alternative to the E46, a Toyota built like they used to be.
I love the gauges in these cars. With a manual and another 100 hp I would be all over them. I'm wondering if anyone has gotten the 2GR to fit properly yet? The suspension is easy enough to fix. Most of the ones for sale that I've seen have been modified in distasteful and ignorant ways or have 200+k miles.
