2008 ford escape limited! what a change...

 

I am getting a new IS350 AWD but am nervous. I have had 2 Audis in a row. I hope the Lexus can take the punishment of canadian winters as well as the audis did. Even though it is a good motor I want something smoother than the turbo 4 cyl.

 

I had a 05 Mazda RX-8

2002 IS300. I loved that car but it had finally reached the end of its life. Traded it in with 207k miles on it for my IS350.

 

haha yeah, my bday is on the 13th, so it's like Bday and Valentines gift. figured post a pic of my old car

 

Needed something more pratical, so I traded in my 2005 Crossfire SRT-6. Like my Lexus, but I loved my Crossfire

 

A 2003 Saab 9-3 Vector w/ 144k miles. Great lil car, but I'm lovin the IS...and a bit of warranty

 

First car

 

I totaled my old car... 04 G35 nice little car... only drive it for a year and half, put a lto of TLC in it, would miss dearly, Now it's all about IS

 

We had a 2006 Toyota Solara SLE (purchased new) before the Lexus. 4 years and 40K miles and not one problem. The Lexus we've had 8 months and had more problems than I care to count... wish I had the Solara back!

 

2005 Pontiac GTO 6.0 6sp manual trans.

 

Bought my '10 RX450 in July, and traded it for my '10 IS250 Dec. 3. My last 3 vehicles were SUV's and I decided i wanted to go sporty for a little bit. Nice to go to a dealer and trade, AND get a check from them to boot.

 

my is250 replaced my 94 Acura Integra which i loved but was totaled. My rx300 replaced my mitsubishi eclipse and then my sc430 replaced the rx300 so far all good upgrades.

 

Thats a nice lookin GOAT you had. I had a black 04 5.7 six speed.. I really miss it. I'm currently driving a GS 400 with 227k 0n the odo and on the fence about trading up to an IS 350 which, from what Ive been reading, is as quick as, or quicker than my 04 GOAT. I want that kind of speed but with a more sexy luxury look. So far the IS looks like it fits the bill.

 

Nothing to be nervous about. I have a 350 RWD (drove a 93 integra for 14 years prior) and have been out and about during every snow storm we've had this year. Got to work in half the time of my regular commute cause half the city stayed home. Just put snows on and you will be unstoppable.

But drive responsibly please, there are those of us with only RWD out there...hahaha
