This car still catches my eye, always liked it. I think it’s still a solid choice even nowadays.

[PrinceofPwnage]

Ah yes ... The IS300... The only car that can have +250k miles and still sell for +$5k... I miss mine

[doccotton]

The IS300 is definitely worth scooping up. There are good deals out there, plenty of aftermarket parts, and the car looks amazing, especially with modifications. I’m on my second IS300, and it’s so much fun to own and take to car meets.

When Alex said that the s2000 is disappearing from the vocabulary of car enthusiasts, I sat in my s2000 and cried 😭

I was literally just saying I was bored while working on my Is300. BOOM, this video made my day.

[burmesebeef]

i have one. Only bad thing is that 99% are automatics

Almost every part from a GTE can be put into the GE, gte head gasket, arp head studs, throw in some gte pistons and rods which are cheap. you can hold at least 600-800 hp on that. Even the front facing throttle body can be swapped over. Or just do a gte swap, everything is plug and play.

My favorite thing bout the is300 is the Cluster design .. looks like a nice watch face.

I've had my manual IS300 for 5 years now and just took it through a 10, 000km roadtrip to the PCH and it's been nothing but blessed. Only mods are some rims, coil-overs and exhaust.

I’m currently on my second IS300 manual. I love these cars so much. They have a timeless style and always look good.

[seanalgrim]

“So you want an LS400?” I mean, we can agree about power steering leaks, blown head gaskets, vvti in the later models. The nice V8 smoothness and good overall reliability. Plus stanced with the right wheels and suspension looks great either as a vip style or a modern sport sedan. Depends on what you’re looking for.

Love my IS. Bought one 3 years ago as my first car and about a month ago, I bought my second IS which is a 5 speed. Got a deal on it because it needed a new clutch (witch I did myself) Can't say I've heard them having problems with oil consumption though, and as long as you replace the timing belt at the 100k mile service interval you're fine. Also, the cup holders suck and riding in the back seat ins't a fun experience. Another gripe is that there aren't a ton of parts available new for these cars as apposed to the E46 but these also break a lot less being Toyota. All in all though, I love these cars and can't see myself not owning one.

YOOO! I’m super stoked that you guys actually made this video! Hopefully more people start to show the IS300 some love. It’s really becoming a bit of a hidden gem in the car community.

P.S my IS has 262, XXX miles and still drives like a dream and has been super reliable since the day I got it 🤙🏾

[keviinkins]

This car should only be own by Toyota Enthusiasts who can maintain them with OEM Toyota parts. This car is getting rarer by the day and I'd hate to see someone that isn't in love with it or isn't an enthusiast neglect them and ends up destroying the engine/car.

Cost effective way to make the is300 stronger is to swap the whole bottom end with a 2jz ge non-vvti bottom end with gte head gasket and arp head studs. Rabid rb channel did this and would be a great option for more power for diy people.
