This is an AMAZING car, I'm very happy to see that you've bought this masterpiece of a car.

Brother this is such a dream car, how wide the body looks, the quad tips exhaust and that NA v8 sound. i just love it, enjoy it !

The number plate on his next surprise car will contain the vowels of his KZfaq channel 👀

Absolutely brilliant machine. “Japanese M sedan” is accurate haha.

Love it, great seeing you in cars and coffee yesterday, hope campbells cooling system is all good 😂

ISF, great new car. Even so over a year ago when you reviewed it, I knew that this would be the car that would replace the Accord. Looking forward to the content ahead.

Yeah baby. As soon as I saw the thumbnail I smiled. I love the ISF. I can't wait to see what you do with it.

Welcome to the club. Enjoy your ride. Loads of love from (old) Zeeland in the Netherlands 🇳🇱

Can't wait to see some videos on this car! Such a great choice.

Congrats mate!, very good cars!

Great car man. Very exciting to see!

Congratulations, and the golf intro was super funny! I'm on my 2nd Honda Accord (my previous one I had for 13 years), latest one being a 2.4 2006 Auto with ALL the toys (yes, Lane Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control). I'm 59 and not quite ready for a Lexus ;) (I've always wanted a Subaru, so if I ever leave Honda, not very likely, I'd like to take a look at a Subaru first, then Lexus 2nd :) ).

What a car. I enjoy mine every second. With good and regular maintenance, this car would run forever

Amazing video man, keep coming back to watch it.

I wish I bought these when I was still living in NZ. I test drove one, was really impressed but held back in buying it. Now I moved to Melbourne, and cars here are really expensive, especially the rego. I guess that's the benefit of being able to import cars from Japan even though the commercial market has the same model - keeping car buying costs down. Now I'm in a major FOMO.

Great car. Impressive how you responded to every comment as well. I wish you luck!

Nice video! I’m glad the Lexus V8 still warms hearts. 💙👍🏽

I clicked on this video accidentally, and I'm glad I stayed 😂 fantastic production quality, amazing car, and engaging review. really good stuff 👍

Great upgrade, well done!

Happy for you, drive safe and enjoy

❤🔥💯 great vid bro!

Good luck with the new car lad 👍💪

Congrats man, well earned, enjoy ur car brother

This sounds sooooo good dude, nice choice! Can't wait for the videos on this car to come.

I'm Surprised by your choice - but in a good way. IS-F is good taste. Will be interesting to see what you do with this. The IS250/350 are starting to get pretty popular and I'm curious if they can be made into even more of a weapon.

Bloody good choice mate, I'm jealous these are a phenomenal vehicle.

great car gz!

I have had and owned Honda accords for 18 years, a UK CH1, CL9 and currently CL7 euro R and was delighted when I came across your channel, gutted you sold your Accord but fuck me I certainly approve of the Lexus. Well done mate what an awesome motor!!!

Awesome upgrade bro, its so cool

@KiwiCarLife Congratulations!! You have made an excellent choice! This ISF is SAVAGE! I once wanted an S2000 as well but for the price along with the lack of practicality just doesn't make since. We are looking forward to your new episodes!

Love ur channel my man, has become a routine to binge ur old videos whenever i feel like chilling with some snacks. Do u miss driving manual? Never expected u would get an automatic 😁

Congrats, great choice 👏

wow, kiwi what a surprise :D good choice, good luck

You have great taste! I can't wait to get my Lexus 😍

Congratulations 🎊 👏

Good on you. Same here mate. I just got my Ultrasonic blue ISF this year and I super love it. I am a Lexus fanatic as well. Cheers.

What a cool car you got :-) Nice intro!

Good choice there mate one of my dream cars

Loved your review! After owning C63 AMGs for many years, I got one of the latest ISFs from BringATrailer. I love it, fantastic car, comfortable, smooth, feels tailored for the experience. It does feel a bit quiet stock though, looking into exhaust options and doesn't seem like there's a lot available in current times. Thanks for your feedback on this car!

wow! what.a.choice. basically the only car I would exchange my accord in a heart beat. (ok, maybe a 3.5 V6 Accord as well) Too bad they only came with AT. Have fun, thats one hell of a car.

Loved the intro especially and cool as car

Wow, congratz, ever since i saw your review of the ISF, i kept thinking someday this guy is gonna pull the trigger and buy one. is that a NZ new one? So hard to find, even harder for facelift model

Wow good one mate👍👍👍

great video 👍 now i want

Really wasn't expecting this not many people know what it is so makes a great sleeper

Very nice color and wheels!

Nice one mate good choice

Big jump from the Accord. Lovely motor you got yourself. I guess the first mode will be exhaust followed by LSD from the later model :D

Such an underated car. I have the is350 but this looks amazing.

I LOVE this car!! My cousin has a 2008 IS in this color, not an F sport tho. Congratulations dude

Bro I’ve seen is2/350s around a lot now. I ended up looking in to them and finding these Isf versions. Ever since it’s been rare just seeing one. And when I do I turn my music down and tell whoever’s in the car “just watch that beast take off”😂

Every review of ISF has happy faces and great sound

I love your car!!

Congratulations on your new car bro..my brother's got a is350 and that thing rocks so this car must be awesome....

Good video and enjoyed it as always. A smaller thing you probably already know about but - it's really hard to hear your voice and mic audio whenever music is playing in any scenes :(

Best purchase ever❤️

Lovely mate

Welcome to the club 😁 you won't enjoy the fuel bills but it won't let you down. Enjoy.

The music is amazing. For real

Love my 08 Matador Red Mica. I've owned it (in the states) for 8 years and 105k miles both street and track (vids are on my channel). Extensively modded and bulletproof. Nice choice!

Excellent choice

Good purchase mate, Have had mine for 10+ years and she still going strong, Most recently doing a FBO,along with suspension and some other goodies .... boy has it transformed her once again.

Have an ISF too and agree, enjoy!

Great choice 😎

Love the sound of a V8

Just got a Lexus is 350 on my birthday (march) I love it & I will get an isf or is 500 in the future for sure !!

Bro, that intro clip was awesome

Picked up one myself too about a month ago (video on my channel). I was torn between getting a 100 Chaser or IS-F. I already own JZX110 Mark2 which is basically same car as Chaser. Naturally, my "car scene" friends trashed me for going with "golf playing old man's car". Little did they know.

Yip mate I'm with you for sure. I purchased a 2011 ISF and I love it as well. I is the best car I have owned. Only 55,000Ks it cost me in the low $50,000s plus thanks to the witch reg was $3200.00 anyway that does not matter a shit, I love it and will keep it until I croke, then maybe my wife will have a few bob!

LS500 is my daily driver and have on order a 2023 LC500 Convertible due to arrive May or June. In love already.

Bro top choice. Timeless

Great and excellent choice of car.

Beautiful colour, hopefully it has the valley plate leak sorted

Ok that intro montage was epic, I had to watch it twice.

The best part about that V8 is that it was co-engineered with Yamaha to say "Ha Ha" to Honda.

What an awesome car! Really enjoy your channel. Just wondering if you've ever driven a fuga 450 and if you have thoughts on it? Cheers

I got myself an LS460L and pretty much ditto to everything said about the ISF, a new ISF with the 4.0L TTV8 by Lexus is my dream car

Loved mine, enjoy.

Great choice! I bought my ISF last year and it's the best car for the money. Is your ISF lowered or on coilovers?

Love this video! Subscribed your channel this is my dream car my family has 2007 is250 and i absolutely love this car everything abt it and only thing it lacks of is performance and is f has the same beautiful design with the power it needs❤

Comfy , sporty and reliable ...

These must be very scarce in NZ. I have a Mercury Grey 2012 ISF and only rarely see another here in Canada. Just returned from a 6500km road trip thru the US, awesome highway car and fuel cons is actually quite good for a 5L V8.

Can’t wait until I can have both an RCF and ISF . That’s all I need !

They are a fair compromise between sport and luxury, the brother has one and my only gripe is that the interior has the same design language as a Hino truck; vertical plastic panels with buttons on them. Smooth smooth drivers though, completely different ball game to the Accord but as they say, sometimes change is as good as a holiday.

Very Nice!!😍😍

The color of the car is so nice. Thumbs up b

It takes proper dedication to daily something like this in NZ I bet. Respect. I want an IS F in the States. Nothing is going to tick all the boxes like this car does. I think my initial reaction is "man I want an AMG or an M car". But the reasonable side of me would say that this car is the one you can live with every day and not lose sleep over. If anyone is driving a legitimately used C63 or M3 as their only car, they've got their nuts in the wind if you ask me. Gotta own two cars with one of those. The IS F just needs tires, preventative maintenance, and fuel for the V8. And that is why I'd buy the car. A reliable, smooth V8 with a really nice cabin space. If you could pick one recent-ish American car under $100k usd to have for weekend laughs, what would you go with? Or which several would be on your list?

"make it easy to get in and out of y'know" well done mate 😂

I 100% agree about your point regarding the C 63. I had similar feelings with my HSV Clubsport - fucking awesome but every corner (especially in the wet) was a death wish hahahaha. I recently opted for a newer Lexus GS350 instead. Still fairly quick, comfier than anything I've driven and heaps of space for the golf clubs... because I have to play golf now, right?

i saw this heading through Wellington, it was a late Thursday arvo. i saw the plate and thought to myself "surely not, it just looks like an up-modelled Altezza... someone else has managed to lay hands on the "kwcrlf" P plate before yourself".. but alas, i was wrong... so so wrong haha. You are 100% right on it looking so un-assuming and "proper" The kind of 'under the radar' fun I loved with my cl9 and no interest from the authorities.... looking forward to seeing more man

i used to own an Accord...from 2018 - 2020...the car that replaced that was the 2006 Mark X 300G..with 250bhp plus...i never looked back at the Accord ever since...even though i've moved on from the Mark X which has similar DNA as these Lexus's, i never forgot what an amazing car it was

I just got me a G37 couple months ago and I came from accord too with a V6.

Very cool car 👌

Not surprised. You know value when you see it.

As far as I know, a previous cl7 euro R owner sold it and jump right into an LS460. I would say ISF is a good choice, especially for someone likes JDM that much.

If you love it now, try one with HKS coils, 275/255 tyre combo and a light tune.

love it

Had one top car loved it only down fall is the entertainment system no good but everything else is greatt

You should do a review of non turbo zt Caldina from 2002-2006 in the sport trim. Amazing car goes well it'd surprise you

It’s totally worth it!
