Like Top Gear says "it is the best car we have ever driven" Truly one of the very greatest supercars of all times and the best car ever from Japan.

Camera guy actually took great shots at the dry lake bed. Damnnn!! (1080p)

Driving LFA in car wash then Scrubbing it with a scrub brush.. fail.

in my opinion this car is one of the best looking cars ever

The thing ferrari and bugatti dont have is that intoxicating sound. No other car sounds like the LFA. Who knew lexus would make such an amazing car.

Yes Paul. The seat belts were different because they actually have a tiny little airbag fitted inside them. So in case of an accident the seatbeats actually have extra cushioning effect? FYI.....

Truth Neal ...in the whurld.

6:55 tire problems. You drove around a dry lake bed.

The 'melodic' exhaust note is courtesy of Yamaha, who also helps Toyota make/tune their heads/cams for Toyota's 'mad' cars (E.g. AE86, ISF, LFA)

The LFA and the Carrera GT may sound the same, and price the same, but are polar opposites in handling. I think I'd stick with the LFA, just because I'd have greater hope of being able to come out of a fast turn alive.

omg lexus actually puts a pamphlet with the owners manual that says never to take the car in an automatic carwash

Had a chance to ride in one during a press event in Japan and the transmission made the very same strange noise when stopping so must be normal.

I could listen to the engine sound all day long. He is right it is the best sounding exotic supercar today. Too bad, there will not be another car that sounds half as good since everything is downsizing and going to laggy vaccum cleaner sounding turbos. Also, I can tell he never changed the transmission settings to shift level 7 (the fastest of the 7 shifts) since it is a separate knob that needs to be set and completely independent. It shifts lightning fast in level 7 and there is nothing abrupt about it.

wow, the sound is amazing

Fantastic job Micah, as well as the rest of the crew! I love this real-world living with it everyday kinda review, so much different and more relatable than those normal publication car reviews. Looks like you guys all had a blast driving the car and making the video:)

Toyota didn't cut any corners when they made this thing. That's Japanese people for you.

The best LFA review i really felt that that's the reaction I'll get if I'm driving it

To the reviewer: At 0:38, the gauge cluster showed 5 bars out of 7 on the transmission speed so you were already in the middle ground when you put it in sport mode. The shifts could go up quicker two levels by using the knob located on the right hand side of the gauge cluster (just below the mode selector).

Lexus (or Toyota) really need a mass-production version of the LFA. Maybe ~$150,000 to butt heads with the 911 or ~$200,000 to tick off Ferrari/Lamborghini/McLaren owners.

The LFA was more of a Toyota bragging rights exercise than an attempt at a commercial success. Riding on such hype, a new ~$175k sport car (or ~$100k) will guarantee buyers and give Corvette, 911 & GT-R owners something to worry about, and open a market for Toyota/Lexus to enter the expensive sports car market. Call it the new Supra.

@cambokid16

for it's original price tag, Toyota were losing money for each LFA sold, decreasing the price and mass producing would cause them to lose even more money, Toyota have deep pockets, thats why they sold 500 even though they knew they were gonna lose money, but they aren't stupid to mass produce and lower the price, they just wanted to make a statement with the LFA to show that they can even make a supercar

The LFA is the first generation of a long line of super cars to come. So i'm sure they will eventually come out with more affordable super cars OR the trickle down engineering will bring a cheap sports car out of the toyota line.

Micah, you make these reviews subtly entertaining. They're great!

Best review of the LFA! Thank you.

An amazing car, not least because it was built as a display of what the modern engineer and designer can do, rather than a money maker. The fact that they sold them at a loss speaks volumes of that to me. They made it because they wanted to, not because they wanted money.

Never seen any reviews who hasn't fallen in love with that glorious exhaust sound.

Great job! You captured the technical might of the LFA and the emotional response driving such an accomplished musical instrument generates. It is almost as if the car just HAD to be this good to deserve the sounds emanating from what sounds like a caged animal. Outstanding!

Awesome video I like how it felt like a adventure for you guys like a road trip

4:31 he sounds like a excited little kid lol

Fantastic, perfectlt presented.

Very good video, really enjoyed it!

Excellent video, job well done.

The best review of LFA!

great review

I LIKE IT. Im just wondering how is it on Fuel?

Best Car Ever, Again watching in 2021 !! 😍😍

I LOVE that LFA!

You REALLY took that car to an automated car ‘destroyer’ wash!?!??? Inconceivable!!!?!???

awesome editing..all videos should be like this..amazing

The F1 V10 sound alone is worth the price. Like everyone says, Lexus LFA stands as the greatest accomplishment by the Japanese automotive industry.

Imo the best sounding car you can buy thats street legal, That high pitch whine and 9,000 RPG I love some of the little features of this car as well the more pressure needed to downshift leather backed shift paddles

So I know its been a while since the video was out..but when he complained about the transmission and switched that dial, he switched the drive mode from normal to sport. The trans dial is a smaller one below it..

Music was great. I really like the grungy sound

The smile and sound alone is worth a million dollar what’s a beauty

finally micah actually loved something

That was a fun video to watch.

Where was this filmed? I wanna go have fun with my car there! Looks so much fun!

I can not believe they let him touch the car let a lone drive it. then he acts just like a yong kid heats the tires up till they come a part just like young kid that does not know how to drive !

Gorgeous car

Out of all the car KZreadrs I want to meet, I think Micah is probably at the top of the list

good insights

Micah can I have your job? Just for one day? Man that looked like fun. What I want to see is the bloopers video. :D

This yellow LFA is belonging to Lexus USA as press car, and of course "Even the seatbelt is expensive", and she truly brought so many smiles to those who rode her indeed.....lolzzz :)))

oml I love Lexus lfa so do so much💙❤💙

is this yellow lfa the one where many people will drive it (and ruin it)? this one was driven in California, beat around at the lake bed and getting dirty. Jeremy Clarkson also drove a yellow Lexus lfa in California in Race to the Mexican Border. the lfa in the Motortrend Head 2 Head Ep. 8 was also yellow (and in california). also, Autobytel's LFA review also included a yellow one (in california). my friend's dad who is ranked high in lexus/toyota has one leased, which is also yellow (he's not a rich guy who buys/leases cars because of wealth). is there any connection between these lfa's? maybe they are the same?

There’s a piece of paper or somewhere written VERY big in the manual that literally says do NOT take your LFA to ANY car wash.. It MUST be detailed by hand

Nice FRS

Dude you're not gonna drive my LFA...wait a minute.. never mind

You guys did an incredible job on this review! The only part that was cringe worthy was the car wash! I would *never* take an LFA to a carwash that touches the car. Poor LFA; you should've went to a touch less wash! Aside from that, this was very enjoyable to watch!

man i love the Lfa my dream car i have the auto art 1:18 toy car of the lfa

How many miles does it have

You can change the shift speed to 7 levels. Either going through lightning fast to slowest so there is a middle ground. Reviewer is unaware that you can change the shift speeds in 7 level increments. If he wants middle ground, you can adjust it to level 4 or 5.

9:48 Interesting seeing the clear epoxy for the carbon fiber steering wheel lifting and peeling off, especially since this is a 9 year old video. I had to wince seeing carwash #1 with the spinning brushes and carwash #2 at the coin-op with the brush touching the paint! 😅

The transmission, radiators (that is what those grilles in the rear for), alternator, battery etc. all are in the back. It is not a front engine car. It is a front mid-engine layout where the engine is in the center and there is more stuff in the back of the engine to give it a rear bias.

Why would you not want your hands on this car when you wash it?!

couldn't go to Willow Springs to road test it?

I have a small spot for this car. 😍 Which is probably why I gained one for the RC-F.

At 10:36, the rock formations look like a unicorn.

Amazing car amazing review will always be envious I will never get to experience a ride like that. Next time you get such a iconic car like that look me up for a ride please.

I would already be happy if I could ever just sit inside for a few minutes. I saw it twice at the Vienna Autoshow (2012 & 13), but wasn't allowed to take a seat. (only the vip-tickets guys :P)

Haha Great Review!

"I want to take it apart" Engineers... They're pretty neat.

Where is the dry lake bed?

Reminded me of the mythological speed and power of the "Mach 5"...but this is for real :)

Boss: does it have to be yellow? Yellow lfa now worth more than any other color

LFA interior coming apart ?

Anyone else notice the unicorn on the rock wall at 10:40?

This joins the original Honda NSX and the Nissan Skyline R34 in the legendary Japanese car league. I have loved it ever since it came out and i will never stop.

Fucking loved this car. I don't care if it's "slow".

That's actually the same Lexus LFA that Jeremy Clarkson drove.

Wooo miata infront of kbb at 11:45 s/o to that guy

You didn't read the car wash manual... Omg

This car is not supposed to be washed in an automatic car washer, nor are you to spray water in certain areas. See the owners manual please!

Two things about an lfa. Confuse the hell out of anyone who tests it for the first time. However everyone who tested this thing just grins or smiles like a kid in a candy store who has been told he can take all he can carry

It's hard to believe the LFA only has Bridgestone Potenzas.
