you got a 350 ...you are "addicted" to the power....a 250 6MT would not suffice....
I dont need the power from 350....so 250 6MT is perfect for my daily commute....
IF they offer 350 6MT, I would get the 350 tho.......

some dude posted on here that the 350 can get high 4s to low 5s 0-60. He is crazy being as that the new ISF is supposed to go 4.9 0-60 and my old S4 was supposed to go 5.4 0-60 and my 2005 S4 was way faster than any 350 I ever raced.

I have never in my life seen a car perform anywhere near as well in real life as they do on paper. It seems to be that the writers always embellish for the better.

They well like lexus orginally quote the IS350 to do 0-60 in 5.6 seconds..then changed it to 5.3 seconds (most of the time car companies are modest with the times) and many reliable car magizines claim it to be even faster. In addition they said the lexus is-f will do it in under 4.9 seconds which will probably be actually in the low 4 seconds.

-The IS-F is suppose to do 0-60 in LESS than 4.9 seconds
-As stated, 4.9 was not "some guy" it was in a magazine
-C/D got a 0-60 time of 5.1 seconds, so the stated 0-60 of low 5's for the IS350 is real weather you want to believe it or not.
-There are plenty of members here with stock IS350's that have posted timeslips that easily match the magazine times
Moral of the story, if you've never in your life seen anything like this, you're simply not looking, it's all over the place.

well... in my opinion, my 350's performance is not worth the crappy gas mileage. I didn't care about the power in the first place when I bought the car, don't know why I did in the first place. So for me if I was in your position and I didn't care about performance (coming from an 06' civic daily driver @ 130hp ) I would go for a cheaper 250 and enjoy the better mpg....
