Hey everyone, I posted this over at my.is also. I'm looking into buying an IS350 this spring probably an 06 or 07. I have been doing tons of reading on multiple forums (yes I did use the search function). I went and drove the 250 and 350 and the 350 stole the show. I plan on using this as daily driver in the summer months in Michigan. Anyways as the title reads what do you like and dislike about your car? Thanks in advance..

Welcome! The IS 350 is a very fast and agile car. The handling is superb with the correct modifications, and is still great without any modifications. The curves of the car are spectacular. It definitely is a chick magnet. The car also is very reliable and won't break down on you. The interior is the best in its class and the exterior is one of the best. The only negative thing is the paint durability. Get the 07 IS 350. It has more features like turning the traction control off and some more.

i would suggest getting the 08 is350 or the 2010 is350.

Slightly out of my price range. Unless I was to get an 08 with a ton of miles.

i love my 06 IS350 nothing is wrong with the car 48k miles, fast however if you want to save gas Is350 is not the car you want.

does not handle very good compared to 335/350z/G35/37
no leg room for back seats
not much performance modifications
paint is easy to chip
sides of leather seats gets crease too easily
stock exhaust is too quiet

just all the things i hate about the IS..

I appreciate you letting me know the facts. I don't expect to get alot of negative feedback this being an IS forum. Im not too sure about comparing the IS with all the coupes. If I was to go that route I would have even less leg room for my passengers.

This is the reason I stopped looking for a BMW.
