TTAC review

I read this site because their reviewers tell it as they see it and don't kowtow to corporate BS. Ahem, C&D and BMW M3 > GT-R. I'm not trying to incite anyone or start a thread of 250 apologists because I love my car, just that it's not like the 2IS has a lot of press save the IS-F so it's nice to see someone putting up a review nowadays.

The thing about TTAC is because it isn't all about the truth, but rather their subjective notations on the car's effect on the automotive industry.

They don't comment about the car itself, but rather the culture of cars. And because of that, I cannot take them seriously.

"In fact, the IS250 only two advantages over the IS350 (since their gas mileage is nearly identical)."

I thought the 350 got couple of miles worse than 250?

"Even in base trim, every iinch of the IS250 is well-appointed, smooth and satisfactory; it's miles above cars like the Acura TSX and Volvo S60. Buick? Don't make me laugh. In fact, the IS250 is perfect– as in "a perfect night's sleep." There's not a gram of excitement to be had in the whole car. "

"Whether you've got a Y chromosome or not or not, the Lexus IS250 is the single best entry-level luxury car for people who don't like driving. For anyone whose blood panel workups include an octane rating, it's unnervingly dull. You'll enjoy every pampered, luxurious minute, and then curse yourself for doing so. And then you'll lapse into a coma. Hang on; are we there already?"

"The IS250 lives up to the Lexus bland… er, brand… with its comfortable, smooth, easygoing ride. The suspension poses a real danger to the local animal population; they'll disappear under the IS250's tires without the driver hearing or feeling a thing. Road noise? Bah! The interior insulates so well you'll wonder if you're ambling along in a Prius."

Seems like this guy really doesnt care about luxury, he's bashing teh car for having a soft/comfy interior and a soft suspension and a quiet ride...

I read TTAC for the humor. This review of the Subaru Tribeca is not quite as funny as their review of the original model, but still had me laughing out loud.

What a subjective non-thought out review. Very unimpressive to say the least. TTAC is quite unprofessional.

That was one of the most worthless car reviews I've ever read, and I'd have that opinion even if she had loved the car. She never really says anything substantive about the actual car!

I especially love the part where she imagines how the car must handle at the limit...great review. She could have written this after seeing a picture of the car.
