Those are funny, but are the typical copycat videos these guys do on Youtube because everyone else is doing them so they feel like they have to gain views for that particular video if they're trying to monetize and grow a channel.

I don’t like front seat height and rear leg room. May fix both with aftermarket seats in the front.

i agree with 100% most those guys have you tube channels as Revenue stream and this has been done to death on so many cars including ISF now. I don't watch these videos they for the most part have agenda and that's to get views especially 5 or 10 things I hate videos they are intended elicits a response for views.

When I want to find out about vehicle, I use non biased sources such as JD Powers, I'll join forums for the car I'm interested go to car meets, track events etc and to speak owners. I'll look at stats of car in question.

What hurt ISF in beginning were shows like top gear, fifth gear and all these vloggers on YouTube bashing ISF half them never even drove car or just regurgitated the same old crap they heard from an other YouTube vloggers or channels like Top Gear. Was 08 to10 ISF perfect no but by 11 the suspension issue had been sorted out and very few vloggers, auto rags bothered to cover these changes. After all the suspension mods were done by Lexus the only real downside for the ISF is its weight. For yrs I would hear fanboys from BMW, BENZ and other car brands would quote topgear as if it where the gospel.

And here we are now 10 years later and of 3 cars that came out in 08 M3, C63 snd ISF which has highest resale ISF and most expensive of group C63 AMG is cheapest, which car is highly sorted after ISF which one is rarest ISF which is starting to have cult like following ISF. Which one was year a head of its time first 8 speed trans in sport focused car, styling cues power hood, fender vents, that so many cars now have including F80 M cars. In 08 they called it boyracer look blah blah and now every body has it. Direct and duelport injection, even the much hated exhaust tips that now companies such as Ferrari BMW Mercedes-Benz and the list goes on and on all use now.

Are there few YouTubers out there that know what they're talking about absolutely yes there are but so many of them are just terrible and can't even turn wrench.
