I love two-seater, RWD convertibles and own a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata for pavement fun and a lifted 2001 Miata for pre-running. I race air-cooled Volkswagens in desert races like the Mint 400 and the Baja 1000. I have won the Rebelle Rally, seven-day navigational challenge, twice and I am the only driver to compete in an EV, the Rivian R1T.

These taillights slay me. Every time.

The 10.3-inch infotainment screen is big, but the Enform technology is outdated and needs to be retired.

See that little joystick in the background? That's the Remote Touch handle. I wanted to kill it with the fire of a thousand suns. Keep scrolling through for more photos of the 2017 Lexus IS 200t F Sport.
