My 2017 GS 350 F Sport has a new roommate, a 2018 IS 300 F Sport. Feels like a smaller version of
the GS. Fun to drive and well equipped. I traded in a 2019 Porsche Macan S for it, which was more car and expensive,
but realized I'm a Lexus guy (this is number 14) than Porsche. Technically its the wifes car, but I'm the main driver.
Just thought I'd share.

How do they compare? Everyone says the IS is cramped I've never driven one.

Yeah, it is a little cramped, but so much fun to drive. Too small for main car, but perfect 2nd car.
Don't drive my GS very much, and probably a little less now. IS 500? This IS might get me to
think about it.

Congrats and hope you enjoy the IS.
Definitely starting to realize I'm a Lexus guy (purely) as well. I like Porsche but hate how their cars come barebones and they nickel and dime you with options, the value proposition is just not there. Also wish they made sport sedans sub 60K, but I guess that's where Audi comes in?
