DJ AMTRAX why would I lie? Why question my integrity? I do not work for the dealership and my family does not own the dealership. The dealership is owned by Autonation. I am just a regular customer like 99% of us on the website. Once I returned the car I got rid of the loaner paperwork. Does anybody keep loaner paperwork?

The car was an 08 with 15k miles and whatever Lexus calls the electric blue exterior with black interior. If you don't want to believe me that is fine but what would I gain by lying?

I do like the 08 and earlier sunroof dial versus the 09.

LOL talk about polar opposites of the Lexus spectrum... you get an IS-F for a loaner, and I get an '03 ES330.

Seriously, I'm just jealous as hell. I got a rental Mustang V-6 once. The best I got was......a RX350, but fully optioned at least.

grrr, i always get barebone is250 loaners ... but i guess i'd rather drive my own car versus a loaner! since getting a loaner usually means somethings wrong with my own car.

I don't see how anyone could complain with the es or other lexus
I received a Chevy cobalt that shook like a laundry machine and I was still quite happy that I got anything at all.

Of course, I'd much rather have the IS-f :P

I bought my F after owning a 350 for 2 1/2 years. I don't see a significant difference in the ride between the two on smooth roads. If the roads are rough it will depend on exactly what kind of rough they are. The 350 was terrible on high frequency stutter bumps - far worse than the F - but the F in general is stiffer than the 350 luxury package.

Then again, the F isn't for everybody. Its not intended to suit the ES crowd in any way, and it doesn't.
