That is completely untrue. There are IS250 RWD, IS350 RWD and IS-F which can drive in the snow just fine with the proper tires. I drive IS250 RWD in snow using Bridgestone Blizzaks in Vancouver, Canada and Seattle, Washington with no problems.

It seems like your friend is running all-seasons which is no good. Need to consider back in the day, there was only RWD's only before FWD/AWD even came; how did people drive? Proper dedicated tires.

Just curious, how would you afford a turbo kit if you dont want to upgrade to a 350?

Not to knock OP but he seems like one of those ppl that doesn't research cars before buying it and purchases the first one he test drives. Surely any car enthusiast looking for a high performance Lexus would have known about the ISF. Used they go for 30-38k that has about 40-50k miles now. And if u can't afford that u can settle for a is350.

I had to read your post 3 times to understand you your trying to say...

If this car is your daily and not worth upgrading to a 350, then why in the world would you want to spend more money to get a turbo kit (if it existed)??

Your logic is flawed....

Guys, no personal attack please.

Please do not post if it's not related to the topic

Thank you

OP: it is not financially feasible to add a turbo kit as the cost > HP increased vs upgrade to a 350.
