Came from a 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid (for the HOV lane exemption in Northern VA, lol) to a 2012 IS250 AWD now that I don't need to drive to commute. Win!

Went from a '12 Scion Tc to a '06 IS250 AWD. Scion was a lease and I had to get something of my own and something ready for the tough winters in CT!

2012 elantra. the elantra has major ups and major downs. a major up is, mpg. i rarely go to the gas station and its 10 gallon tank did its job.

a major down is it was the base model.and the car was a beginner car. no protection frm the outside. i drive 80mph on the highway... i get a phone call and have to slow down to 65-70 because of the wind interference, with the windows CLOSED. there is/was no protection!!

i have this thing for another 13 hours, then its bye bye and ill be picking my 08 is250, fully loaded.

so excited, i havent really slept in 3 days!!!!!

My IS350 replaced a 350z track edition. 350z handles much better, but I'll make final judgement once coilovers are installed in the IS.
