The Lexus LFA is a masterpiece of Japanese engineering, with a unbelievable naturally aspirated V10 that revs to 9000 rpm, and an exhaust note that makes modern F1 cars jealous. These cars are exceedingly rare, with only 500 made for the entire world, and in recent times, the values have absolutely skyrocketed. Even seeing one of these is a very rare occurrence, but to get to drive one? truly special. Somehow my friend Cody gets to spend nearly every day driving this Lexus legend around, oh and we used it as the camera car to take photos of my Z06. Enjoy this interview video with Cody as we learn some really cool insights into what it is like to daily drive a Lexus LFA. Also make sure you check out my full driving review!

Absolutely dream car. You can't beat the reliability of a Lexus and Lexus customer service is also top-notch 👌
lmao lexus customer service is good to anyone over the age of 50
Not all Lexus are reliable
you mean toyota
No lie spoken 👌🏾🃏
*reliability of a Yamaha (Toyota doesn’t make their performance engines anymore, this is the most glaring & bug example in the modern era)
This might be the only existing car where they considered every single sensory the human would experience driving this. Truly an unparalleled experience, from the tone of the engine to the haptic feedback of the shifter pedals. I want this sooooo bad.
Not the Most Attention But The BEST attention! Think about that one for a moment. He Nailed it in that statement. I have been inside 3, and have driven 2 LFA's. It is a vehicle that can not be explained and has to be experienced first hand to be be appreciated. Great video!!!!
Great way to put it
I want one so badly
i'm a simple guy, see LFA and I just thumb up.
Excellent 👍👍👍
Indeed
It’s nice to see like-minded traditional men on youtube 👍🏻
Oh, absolutely! One of the best sounding engines ever made!
Facts
I actually think the interior is special too. There is nothing bad about this car. None. Gorgeous and special vehicle.
The best supercar since NSX
the crappy transmission
@@mastertgd Wrong
the price
it doesnt have cup holders
God damn that color. But the true thing stand out is the Kirkland shirt 😜
Costco ftw
That color does go hard AF!
How are y’all gonna say he daily’s it and proceeded to have him say he’s only put 800 miles on it
Some daily commutes are shorter than others
@@LouisSubearth yea, daily drive it out of the garage to the drive way and back to the garage; and occasional grocery run.
with the EV shift we're going to have to embrace, this thing and all it's noises will probably keep going up
Kirkland signature t shirt is hilarious
The colour of this LFA and wheel choice is 👌
IMO, this is the best vehicle you have had on your channel. Much due respect to your Z06 pre new ugly wheels.
See, this is why I love the LC500's. I was blessed with the opportunity to drive one awhile ago and loved it. The styling is amazing, the speed was...I didn't speed so can't say, the handling was great. I haven't seen or driven an LFA yet, but they might be similar.
I made a joke when I got my LC. It's the closest I'm ever getting to an LFA lol. I have a RCF and the LC but still nowhere in the ballpark for an LFA. Maybe 10 years ago when no one was looking at them. But timing I guess.
Speaking of toyotas and the value going up. I never would of thought 1st gen 4runners would be worth 5-6 times what they were when I was in high school
This LFA was in Costa Rica, we had 2 LFA. One red and this one. Good to know they are taking care of this máster piece.
The fog lights give it away.
The 2000GT, Lexus LFA and MKIV Supra turbo are the trifecta of Toyota’s greatness.
Cool video - the two of you couldn't stop smiling the entire time, good vibes. And I even managed to learn a little about the LFA. Kudos to the owner, he obviously a great person.
The LFA is my dream car. Nothing else comes close.
The Lexus LFA is such an insane car! Super slept on imo
I love the LFA, it is my absolute dream car.
The color and the wheels are perfect together.
If I'd ever own an LFA (which I won't for one obvious reason), the radio would never, not once be turned on. The car would sing for me all the time, unobstructed.
My dream car since the beginning… remember seeing it on the site in 2012. One day I’ll own and daily one till the wheels fall off
i would never do it, but part of me wants to know how this thing would perform if it was professionally tuned. Like with open titanium exhaust and fully done engine with higher rpm and higher power output (but keeping it N/A)
Think I’ll be doing that in a video game since I can’t do it in real life lol
@@joseperezpaz9986 yeah probably the only chance to experience this.. but to be honest, i recently saw a titanium exhaust Carrera GT on youtube.. maybe some day someone will try it on an LFA.
@@elQuestionare Carrera GT ain’t as exclusive as LFA. I doubt anyone will mess with them.
That would be an insult to the engineers at Yamaha who tuned the exhaust to sound as it does.
"I was taking care of his stuff, doing some runnings, and then things escalated and here I am"
What is he your boyfriend now? How does that explain daily driving an LFA lmao
I love the LFA sooo much it’s my ultimate dream car if i ever get the opportunity to own 1 my life will be complete
The only vehicle in my dreams is Gisele sitting on Hun's lap in the last scene of her movie Fast and Furious, and the v10 sound comes to my mind. 😃
This the second time I am watching this video. Every time I watch an LFA video even multiple times a same video, it always puts a smile on my face. Now imagine people who get to drive this machine.
This car is a revolutionary time piece!! When it hits 25 years old it will be worth 2mil
They already sell for $2mil
@@wackysamurai1583 no they don’t lol there not there yet 900k to 1.2 I’ve seen
@@cbruno12180 one sold for 1.7 million, so yeah. Pretty damn close. Although it was the Nurburgring edition
Correction to the video at 10:15 - this car was serviced at the lexus dealer i work at in scottsdale recently, and no special tech was flown in. Our shop foreman is lfa certified so nobody had to come help
He has a Kirkland signature shirt on like a champ
Costco ftw
Wooow orange looks so gud on it and it's an uncommon colour
Damn that wheel setup is PERFECT on that.
Love the Content! The Split up favored you imo.
The dope light is on.
Amazing im.buying one ❤❤
I Also.
cap 😂
Just bought mine how about you guys?
@@briand.5321 congrats 🤛
@@briand.5321 Lexus and Yamaha are building my custom one as we speak, should be delivered late July
I wish they made a mini version of this with a 4cyl turbo. (Smaller than the LC500 lol)
Awesome! I own a Lexus LC 500 coupe and a convertible. I still have a LFA on my wish list!
I’ve seen some at the San Francisco Toyota dealership, and a red one at a lexus dealership, truly amazing cars Lexus has made
10:46 the spoiler lol. looks cool
man this was a great video. this is the dream car for me. currently have a 2018 Lexus is 300 fsport the v6. I would love to just see the LFA in person! I thought this was Luke Combs as first lol.
That LFA is AWESOME, except the wheels.
Yep god tier car
Wheels are nasty
Dude, those wheels are perfect....
the left/right audio channels are flipped: they are in the position of what is in the car and not what is on the viewer's screen. @EddieX
first 30 seconds is all i needed... now i need to clean my shorts
Whoever shot and edited the thumbnail needs a raise ASAP
Repping that Kirkland dripp 🔥
Nice review not many of these online ...keep up the Good work
Amazing. Legit Amazing. Hopefully one day I can experience this masterpiece
Insane LFA Eddie !! 🧡🧡
🔥🔥🔥
Where did you get that Kirkland signature shirt? I love Costco!
Yep I’m thinking of financing one. Planning on selling a few organs to do so
Living life to the fullest dailying a LFA
Wow, what a treat. Wasn’t really familiar with the LFA but it’s 🔥🏎 Enjoyed it. TY! 😎
Straight up eargasm car - wow! Love the LFA - there is a white one in my neighborhood and they look much better in person.
Saw this one at Olivers Jewelry a couple of months - sounds epic
I still remember the rumors when this car was spotted in camouflage back in ‘08: “Toyota seems to be developing a new Supra!”
Nice to know its out here in AZ
W Costco Fit
These guys dont know the other exotic cars of the same years would have needed their engine rebuilt quite often. 40k miles in that engine is rare sight to see in the exotic car world period
My favorite supercar beside OG Murcielago, OG Ford GT, Carrera GT and Ferrari F50
Most experts agree that LFA has the best engine & exhaust sounds. Why don't other car manufacturers take notice to make their high-end super cars sound more like the LFA?
There's not a lot of 10 cylinder cars out there, and those still in production want to have their own sound
what do you mean "experts" lmao
@@ucrain4971 I guess, anyone who isn't Doug Demuro at this point.
what a good looking car
You can see cars in the background rolling their windows down to hear the LFA lol
Very nice (in Borat voice). Keep it up brother.
He pulled at the right time to blow this mans socks off LMAO
those downshifts PHEW
I will say I haven’t (yet at least?) seen a good pov drive of this car. Everything I read and watched about it really dogged on the transmission.. seeing and hearing it here tho, I get it. No shit it’s not as fast as a pdk (or zf8 😏) but it’s engaging when driven as it should be! I heard it was supposed to shift and behave similarly to a manual transmission and that was a huge part of development. What a car 🤯
Best car ever 😢😢😢😢
my all time dream car.
Theres a sunset orange LFA that recently went up for sale in Houston and its listed at I think 1.2 milion
Idk, maybe its the fanboy in me but this car comes from an era where I can associate it with a Top Gear review, much like the 918/P1/LaFerrari trinity, and something about that makes these cars even more special and legendary.
This car sounds insane
Wow and that’s how you gotta enjoy your LFA
what is the point of buying an LFA is you have to limit your miles to retain values. I would drive that crap out of it if I owned one.
Driving the crap out of an LFA is the ultimate flex, not just money wise, but reliability wise.
What are the name of those rims?
Best soundtrack ever.
every time i hear about how you coulda got a car for msrp i fall to my knees
Are the ceiling lights always on? That would drive me nuts if true lol those things get hot
If you ever feel useless in your life just remember that LFA has a sound sistem
Make a video of bumping music while driving, key thing is finding the right balance between car and music, also the right music
I think you may want to compare this to Daniel Craig Aston’s with V12. So much character here.
can we talk about the fire Kirkland shirt.
7:29 LOL
me with an 06 is350
Too bad there aren't many tunnels in Scottsdale.
Thumbnail goes so hard
Oh yea watch me drive my 2005 expedition, jpp this LFA so guuuud😞
Idk about other people but if i had the only chance to get one i would and i would drive this thing daily for as much as im staying on this earth and put some miles that nobody would put in a super car
Man, I really enjoyed this video, but was ultimately disappointed in the end when the driver called the LFA a damned JDM car! The LFA is NOT a JDM car, how do people that are around cars constantly, love sports cars and even know what the JDM moniker is and yet don't REALLY know what JDM actually means?! The LFA was NOT sold in the (J)apanese (D)omestic (M)arket only, therefore it's not a JDM car.
Technically this LFA is CRDM, it was delivered new to Costa Rica.
this looks like you’re in scottsdale near where i live lol
10,000 miles down 990,000 to go
I think the car lacks a littgle bit of a wider body or something, for the price tag, it just seems to fall short a little.
Not an ugly car and runs great. But missing something for the price tag, IMO.
It's just the same ppl blabbing about the brand, just like grand seiko.
7:26 that was little bit zesty i think
Cool wheels
Hi. I have been in a coma for almost 40 years. I am glad I snapped out of it. I sort of know what a 'Lexis' is. But what is this "LFA" stuff? It looks to me like the new MKV Toyota Supra non turbo. I am glad for this 'You Tube' TV channels on the Internets.
Im the owner of the wrapped Rolls Royce that passed you guys, and yes you and john worked on my car. Thanks for the insults. I will no longer be returning to do business with your shop. Thanks.
If you like this kinda car try the alfa romeo 8c (spyder’s the best)
the seat belt looks out of its slot on your left shoulder compared to the right side
I'm surprised no one has looked into seeing how much power they could get out of the v10 yet in terms of tunability
I was thinking the same thing, I think people just don’t want to mess with a rare car
Not the car to tune.
Great sounding car 😊 to bad it’s so much money 😢
Lexus is as reliable as Costco members... Nice Kirkland shirt.. I own a Costco sweater.
