What year ended stick shift/manual trans for IS250??
Hi everyone. I am helping a buddy buy a car but he specifically wants a manual. We've been having a hard time trying to locate one with the color and option he likes. Is the manual transmission still being offered or did it discontinue after a certain year?
Also, how reliable is the manual in the IS 250? Would you recommend over auto?

2006-2008 RA62 isn't especially great.
2009-2012 RA62 is better, but still not amazing, just okay.
2009-2012 RA62 with the Quickshifter is actually pretty nice.
Never driven an 06-08 with the Quickshifter, I assume it's not horrible, but who knows.
I like my current setup, clutch feels decent and the shifting is tight. Could be a bit shorter on the throws, but it suits the car.

I have a 2011 IS250 and the manual transmission feels great. From the posts above, looks like the shifter was improved. Very few manuals were sold in 2011 and 2012 in North America. Just 3000 overall from 2006-2012.
Also I get great fuel mileage: 8.5L/100 KM on average. Its a base so light without sunroof or AWD differential.
