Had a blast reviewing this first gen IS300! Definitely a great car if you can find one at a good price, seems like the market on these is all over the place currently. Let me know your ownership experience in the comments if you have/had one of these!
Audio can be a bit choppy due to new setup we are using. This should be resolved in future videos!

I'm doing my part. Picked up a semi-decent example of one of these for $2k with 230k miles. Total steal in 2023. Like if you have a sticky dash and rusty rockers. 😅

I’ve had three of these, all under 150k. They will almost always come with issues because of age and people treat it like it’s a Toyota. Make sure if you are buying one to do your research. Defiantly replace the timing belt and water pump after buying one regardless if the previous owner says they did it. Other than that it is an awesome car, I own and daily a 2001 Auto with 118,000 miles. 2001 doesn’t have sticky dashboard so something to look for.

here in New Zealand, they are the most common skid car that the car community use 🤣

@stevenhanaford4340 4 ай бұрын

Also here’s a list of common problems with these cars that I have personally experienced. Timing belt and water pump failure. (Change every 100k miles) Oil leaks Bad ball joints and wheel bearings Sticky dashboard (2002-2005) No sticky dash for 2001. Warping brake rotors (Rotors seem to always warp no matter the way you drive) Faded paint TRANSMISSION!!! Every IS300 I have had has had transmission issues. Transmission is made of GLASS. Bad TPS Sensor, hard to diagnose. Can cause Rough, High or low idle. Can also cause clunky shifts. And you will defiantly be going through 02 sensors on these cars. You are welcome :)

Seems about right. Tranny is weak but both of mine have lasted 400,000km without failing. They just feel like theyre going to fail lol

Do automatic still swing?? I’m getting a is300 soon but I think it’s gonna be auto due to not wanting Á completely abused car off the rip 😭

@StandingTallAutoReviews 10 ай бұрын

Personally I don’t see an issue at all. It is an older automatic so it’s not as good as some of the modern setups, but you definitely can still have fun with this one!

@dellnolimit 9 ай бұрын

Yes I swing my 03 is300 automatic but it came wit lsd n it’s the sport design u just gotta throw it in first gear do a burnout a lil bit turn the whell step on gas u can turn on etc mode gives it more power but burns more gas

@CurbEnthusiasm 9 ай бұрын

The stock auto's fun but geared very short. Perfect for 0-60 but cruising at highway speeds sees you revving at 3k rpm. Perfect for burning a ton of gas. I tend to only use the manual mode to engine brake to red lights. 5>4>3>nuetral. Takes some of the load off of the brakes and sounds good doing so. ❤
