The ES because it's FWD, has better mileage than the IS, and the interior is immaculate

IS300 for me.
These are two completely different cars for different types of buyers. One is for sport, the other for luxury. Does a poll make sense between these two since they're most likely not going to be cross shopped?

Thumbs up

IS300.
They have great styling, that fantastically smooth powerful in-line six engine, and
they have great reliability.

I would choose the IS over the ES.

My mother has the ES300 and it has a much smoother ride than the IS.

I'd probably get a G35 sedan over both of these cars.

But, if I were to choose between them, I'd pick the IS300 straight away.
