So now that you've owned/drivin both the 250 and 350, what are your thoughts on the two? What would you suggest to the folks that are debating between a loaded 250 versus a base 350?

Yeah, that's exactly why I asked the question. I see this question posted too many times. I've already got my 350 but i've never drivin a 250 so it would be good to know from someone who has owned both.

i actually like both the IS250 and the IS350

the IS250
1. save alot of gas the most i got on a full tank was 380 miles 50%city/50% highway
2. it's more quiet then the IS350
3. the power is actually not that bad i usually just leave the PWR button on all the time and it dose make a difference
4. insurance is cheaper compare to the IS350

IS350
1.the power is always there i just step on it gently and the car would just go right away
2 gas mileage it's not that bad i got 320 on a full tank also 50/50 city/highway
3.it's seems like the suspension are better compare to the IS250
4.the breaks are larger and easier to break when it's needed

Only $1000 to go from a 250 to a 350? Are you serious? Which dealership? Now I'm curious...
