Default I Purchased IS350 after all !!!

After debating between GS300 and IS350 i finally convinced myself to go with IS350 Granite / Black, same color as my old GGP, luxury package fully loaded. Living in the city and parking space are the main concerns beside the price of GS300, I managed to get this car OTD $1,000 BELOW MSRP . The only reason i would go with GS300 is the size of the car, i like big car. i sold my 1st gen IS six months ago and havent posted here since, now i have a valid reason to post here again :P

Great decision Chico

The space is plus over 2IS 350 but that it. You save good money and have all around more efficeint car for the city. A near perfect city car. Personally the GS is just too boxy/fat in the rear like Nissan Maxima. IS 350 is sleek , efficient and powerful. $$$ I have a base is 350 I purchased back in Feb 06 for 34K. No NAV hurts but it was a steal.

Cool

Hey Guys,

I am buying a IS 350 soon and wanted to know how the acceleration is? I've been in M3 and you can really feel your head and body stick to the sit and you get that rollercoaster feeling in your stomach. But I was wondering how the IS 350 feels when you floor it from stop?

IS350 has a good acceleration i must say, definetely put your head back when you floor it. I like the interior expecially if you have nav.

i'm kinda glad i chose IS over GS. GS300 has a very low power, i always complain with lack of power form 1st GEN IS. i can't wait that long for GS350
