Are you HAPPY with your IS350??
So, I'm wanting to buy an IS350. I currently own a 2001 IS300 and have really liked the car. I love the styling of the new model IS's and want a bit more HP. I considered buying a 250 awd but really think I just want a 350. I can't afford the ISF or I'd be all over that. Anway, on a scale from 1-10 are you happy with your IS350? Or do you wish you would have spent less money and gone with the 250?

I purchased a brand new( saw them take it off the truck) is250. Put 30,700 miles on it and bought a is350 with 30,400 miles on it.
How happy am I with my 350? Scale from 1-10, give or take about 31.

Is250's are the only 2IS's I see around. I love my IS350!! After owning BMW, Merc, 350Z...and walked away from almost pulling the trigger on a BMW 335i...I DO NOT regret the 350 in any way what so ever, and neither will you.

I'm extremely happy with mine... I test drove an is250 awd prior to buying mine. Its not that its terrible but just I just felt I'd get bored of it quickly.
The other thing that matters to me is having that confidence when people pull up at a light and want to race you... There's lots 3 series drivers in my neighborhood that like to try that b/c they thinks its a 250... I laugh at them in my rear view as I leave them at the light!

im a former is300 owner myself and sometimes i regret selling it for the is350. the electronics shifts is way slower and the car just doesnt feel as sporty. I also really miss the suade/ leather seats. Its definitely has more luxory and way more power. If you are looking for power you NEED the is350. test drive both the 250 and 350 and you will see what ppl on this forum mean when they emphasize on the 350
i like my is350 but miss the sportyness so i plan on getting an isf soon.

The ISF has paddle shifters. The IS350 is a fully automatic car.
