At every 100k, half the car will need to be replaced.

That actually made me LOL, because while it's hyperbolic, it's not as far off as it should be.

Shoot or scroll up. Plenty of e46 m3 talk in here, plenty of e46 m3 owners too.

Seems like all Volvos and SAABs of certain age become like that, sort of normal.:pokerface:

Terrible manual, and serious carbon buildup issues.

Toyota/Lexus has done a good job of sweeping the 4GR carbon issue under the rug, considering how many people still throw IS250s in this thread.

Aren't Lexus' (Lexi?) more reliable than even Toyotas?
I thought that was usually the case. I'm not familiar with the IS in particular though.

TopsyCrett 07-16-2020 01:20 PM
^ I don't even know how to answer that question. They are the same company? If anything, Lexus' have more things to break / go wrong. Most Lexus' have their Toyota counterpart, with the same drivetrain (maybe minor differences). So to assume Lexus' are more reliable than their Toyota counterpart just doesn't make sense to me.

A 2GR-FE V6 in a Lexus is still a 2GR-FE V6 in a Toyota. Not like one will be more reliable than the other due to the badge.

Akinari 07-16-2020 02:00 PM
Spoiler!

TL;DR Toyota/Lexus cars are reliable cause they like to use the same/similar engines in a car for 10-20yrs.

And if it's an E9x, 3/4 of the car will need to be replaced. Can confirm, as this very much reflects my ownership experience :alone:

GX460 and LX570 engines are outliers here. They're 13 year old designs, but at least they're bulletproof enough to justify their lifespan.

The GX470 on the other hand, that's ancient tech up until it got replaced by the 460.

Every time I step in to a Lexus dealership they advertise the below from JD Power. Last time I was in a dealership (years ago), Lexus was at the top.
Spoiler!


By the way, Lexus and Toyota are not the same company.
The two companies are owned by the Toyota Motor Corporation, and a lot of their cars share the same chassis and parts.
But Lexus is considered a premium brand that has different styling and undergoes stricter quality control. Different company, higher standards.
I always assumed this is why Lexus is more reliable (dependable) than Toyota.

I'm no VW expert but based on the description (and assuming everything checks out), this could be a fun buy?

The Producer 07-16-2020 09:02 PM
^^ my old car. I bought it from the OG owners in north van in 2014. My tradition was to buy and sell an mk3 every ski season. This was ski machine for 2014/15. Sold it to an awesome dude who drove it all around BC. Bought it back from him, tossed a clutch in it and again put it into ski machine 2016/17 duty. I even kept it one summer because it was so good. Sold it to another cool guy who drove it for a year and passed it on to this owner.

If it wasn't covid time (and I wasn't secretly stashing the red ski corrado at my grandmas house) I'd buy it back just so i could say I put 4 ski seasons on it.

Rust free, and the boys have all added some sweet mk3 goodies.

I'd drive this thing to the moon tomorrow - you can't kill an ABA motor.


Day I bought it for the second time in 2017:

Not necessarily a good or bad buy. But I think most of you guys would appreciate this car for what it is. Just love the spoilerless style and fat tires
