The MS6 are pretty trashy cars, drivetrain wise. That 2.3 turbo motor and drivetrain had lots of issues. The rest of the car is pretty good though.
I want this car to be an automatic. I think a good condition 1999-2000 LS400 (unicorn car) or a LS430 are probably the cars. |
I actually liked my EJ25. What it lacked in efficiency, power, reliability, cruising rpms, daily driver putting around town manners, and intelligent packaging, it made for with character, lol. It sounded nice, and it had an awesome chassis and as a package was pretty good all around.... For a fun and sporty economy car. If I had to go to one car.for everything, daily, fun, track, bad weather... It'd be high at the top of my list. It does so much competently without being over tech'd up, but had modern safety and conveniences.
Try out the GS, it's very similar but slightly less beloved, so a bit cheaper.
