She used to be my daily driver until mid last year. Now she's my weekend getaway car
I drive my SUV in the winter since I purchased it last summer and I drive the Solara often now that I'm comfortable driving a manual. Kinda wish I would've gotten a 350 instead

This is quite interesting because i experience the same thing too. My drive from school is about 30min and usually i spot about 10-15 2IS if i have my eyes open. They of course are stock and also female drivers. I personally drive very little. Just making trips to the store or meets. Ive had the car for a little more than a year now and i only have 8500 miles on the car.

I'm surprised that you're surprised. Along with the other entry-level luxury vehicles, the ISx50 is extremely common here, though mostly 250s.

I actually don't mind this at all, since its a break from unwanted attention. The car draws the eye of those in the know, while most others are oblivious or couldn't point out anything that wasn't obvious. Ideal for daily driving, IMO.

How often do you drive your IS#50?
Daily.
