What do you think that thing weighs? 1200lb? 1300lb? 1100lb? I would imagine 50hp is plenty to spin the rears on a loose surface...

After spending a little time in a caterham, I'd think you'd get a lot of rocks flung at you if you went burning around a gravel road in it.

Looks like it has a windshield.

They're good reliable cars, but like you mentioned, it's wayyyy too cramped. But then again, i'm 6'1 and 200lbs lol. I felt like i couldn't breathe in there at all

JDMDreams 05-14-2016 05:25 PM

^^ yep but the driver seat isn't. just for your passengers. Still not a fan of the jerky transmission though

Seems like a steal. Hard to tell with such a shitty ad though. I question if it's real. Well worth a look at that price.

jpark 05-14-2016 05:58 PM

The 350 made up for the smaller cabin with that silky smooth engine though, had to get rid of mine, just couldn't drive automatic any more. Damn thing pulls hard too. I found that the drivers cabin was somewhat snug but I liked that it felt very driver centric.

The 6MT IS250 is a decent car but its a Tacoma gearbox and super notchy and jerky. Also that 2.5 V6 has carbon buildup issues, but not the 3.5.

Damn shame Lexus didn't invest in a real sport 6 speed manual gearbox for the IS350...
