8. would be 10 if they made them with paddle shifters sports seats and the stupid dash didnt rattle. This is my 3rd 2IS and all 3 have rattled. >=(

Well, you mentioned that the electronic shift is "slower" as if you had some sort of expectation for it to "shift" the car quickly, and I just wanted to make it clear that gear limiters are not shifters.

And just to be clear, I'm not defending the paddles on the ISx50s. I think they are indefensible, and I find Lexus marketing them as paddle "shifters" to be thoroughly irresponsible. For all intents and purposes, the IS350 as a fully automatic car.

Initially I wanted a manual IS 250. Drove one at the dealer and really liked it. Didn't notice a lack of power. Could be, it was more power than what I was currently driving. I was swayed by comments on the various Lexus forums, regarding the manual transmission and best to go with the 350. The 350 is plenty powerful, just wish the gas mileage was better. But I knew that while taking several months to decide. I'm very happy and rate it a 10.

I've had my 350 for almost 5 years and wouldn't trade it for anything.
Except an IS 350 coupe (non-conv).

New owner of an IS350 and I'd rate it an 8-9 (if I get the F-sport sways on I bet it'll bump up to a 10).

I love the car. Don't get an IS250 if you want any kind of power. I've had 250's as loaners and there's simply no power there - 200HP is enough to get it moving, that's about it (and I don't mean offense, this is of course just my opinion).

By the way, my previous car was 2003 E55 AMG with 469HP, and I still think the 350 has plenty of power. More than you'll need in everyday driving and more than enough to have fun.

I love, love, love my IS350 and would not trade it for anything. I will probably drive it until the wheels fall off lol ! I would rate it a solid 10 for sure!

I love my 350 and the fact that its an X-package. A 10 easily, unless an ISF pulls up next to me and humbles me. Then its like a 7!

Thanks for your comments. I am very serious about getting an IS350, just have to find the right one. So hard to find white on black. I have owned quite a few "sporty" cars. Before I was married I had a G35 6speed with the brembo brake package. Before that the 350z and before that quite a few boosted Honda's. I absolutely loved my G35 but I have kids and need something that we can take them in if we don't want to drive our qx56.

Give it about an 8. Get fsport stuff and Ppe headers then a 10. Also bc it's not an F

I love my 350, it doesn't quite compare performance wise to my Evo IX MR but I bought it more for the luxury. I drove a 250 AWD and it's decent but does not compare to the 350.

~6. Got my car for 3+ years. Getting sick of it.. Probably because I drove the GTR.. Now I want one....

I am very happy with my 350. I would give it a 8/10. 1 point loss because I want an IS-f and a 1 point loss because there are practially no preformance mods.

You and me both.. They're SO sick!
