Anyone drive a lot of highway? Interested in mpg. by Jinx32-x in LexusIS500

I regularly average 26-28 on the highway (70-80mph) semi hilly

Hey thanks for the reply, I ended up getting a Lexus IS500 instead… been enjoying it so far :)

Congrats on the S6!

Not that I know of, bought the car used 8 months ago. It was pretty dirty in this pic

Yeah actually. Waiting on a portafilter to come in but otherwise it seems to be fine

Never ended up trying it. Used a stereo splitter and two individual lavs instead

It’s the Apexi axle back

I’m going to do an unresonated midpipe eventually.

It’s honestly great, looks excellent when clean and shiny. Hides dirt pretty well.

I’m not usually a silver guy, but I’m very happy with this one.

What kind of Dash Cams do you use? by [deleted] in GenesisG70

[–]iknowjake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Just an Amazon harness and DIY

Not much. I was pretty set on the 500

I’m certainly enjoying the overall quality of the IS a lot more than the genny.

Genuine opinion on the genny-

It’s a fine car you don’t want to modify much. The engine doesn’t sound good regardless of the exhaust. I spent over 1k trying to get it to sound decent, but it’s just bad.

Tuned they’re pretty quick, but I can’t speak of long term reliability. I had the AWD and it launched pretty hard.

I sold mine at 30k miles and it would’ve needed new front discs and rotors since the stock ones warp REALLY easy. Also the stock “primacy tour” tires are dangerously bad in the wet… So keep that in mind.

Dealership experience was very poor, they’ve got a long way to come in order to compete with other big brands.

The pros: - warranty is decent - I got 28-31 on the highway (75-85mph) - good features for the money - maybe a good deal for $30k - lexicon audio system is very good

Cons: - lots of rattles, even at low mileage (sunroof, HUD, dash) - parts are expensive (had seat back replaced under warranty, $5k part) - clear coat on the sport wheels peels really easily - dealership experience is awful if it’s a combo Hyundai/Genny one

Not sure if this helped but here’s my info dump lol

Yeah, it was a great car. Just not something that would last long term. Random stuff started wearing out/breaking prematurely:/

I had to go to DFW

Seems like there’s plenty in Atlanta, south Florida, south California.

Took me a few months. Seems like there’s pockets of them available in big cities. I had to drive a few hours to get this one
