I have a 350 and when i took my car to lexus for service they gave me a 250 loaner car. To tell you the truth, regular driving, you wouldn't really notice the difference. It's pretty much the same, but i noticed a BIG difference when you punch it. the response on a 250 lags a lot and not that fast compared to a 350. If you had the choice, I would go with the 350 anyday. it's just more fun to drive.

The best way is: just go to your local dealership and request a test drive for comparison.
Here is my personal experience: I have tested drive both of them, at the same time, same place. For 350: you really need to press the accelerator to some extent to feel/release the 300+ hp potential, if you do so, you can tell it's a 350 not 250. Under daily/normal driving situations, 250 and 350 feels nearly the same, no big difference for me. The 250 is already zippy, it accelerate really good when start at the red light, or merge into the freeway traffic, or passing another car on the highway.![Cool](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif)
If you like racing and want to put your car on the track, you need to get a 350; if you mainly use it for daily driving, 250 should be a clever choice. Especially if you need to take some trips that will pass broad rural area that are full of uncertainty about gas quality/availability (our 250 only take premium), just like some aviation engineers like to compare aircraft's 'service range', you definitely need 250. She's very fuel efficient and I always get 400+ mile/tank, even I drive very aggresively.![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
