IS250 - Direct injection consequences - you know....

[Stevegee]

Hi all - sadly last year I had to fairly quickly find a car to replace my written off Ford Focus ST - (loved the handling of that car and the Turbo "kick"). So I was using my wife's car - and looking for a replacement with some style and looked to Lexus coz they're classy, V6, Toyota reliability and all the rest...

If I'd had more time to find one I would have bought an IS350; but there weren't any for sale at that point and my wife's transport situation for the new job was becoming urgent! I'm pretty happy with the 250 and it moves fairly well - but I know the 350 is quicker still. But - there's the Direct Injection issue with the 250 and I know down the track (currently has clocked only 105,000 kms) the intake and valves are going to grow carbon! 😝

I'm a young at heart 66 yr old - was thinking this might be my last car; so was fairly disappointed when I learned the IS250 had this issue - really kicking myself now! 🤪

Would love some opinion from the brains trust, would you:

1. Fit an Oil Catch Can - and just live with it?
2. Sell it and buy the 350?
3. Any other advice?
   
   Cheers
