If you're looking for speed then go with the 350. I have the 250 and regret not buying the 350.

100+ hp extra for only $5k?!? That's the best bargain you can get for Lexus, and one of the best in the industry!!!

GET THE 350!!!

For me, i never considered the IS250 because I knew I wanted the extra power so I bought the IS350 and I am very glad I did!

I drive a 350, but I can see the merit of the 250.
It is identical to the 350 except for the engine, brakes, and a slight difference in the A/C that I still haven't figured out. For that, you get better fuel economy and a few thousand dollars. For some, that makes sense.

I would say the 250 is more like a 350 than a BMW 328 is like a 335. For the lesser 3 series, they really do a lot of things that make it a clearly lesser car, especially visually.

Thats the same logic I use when I end up screwing a fat chick.
