Welcome and congrats!! What is your MPG you're getting after 2 months of driving (how many miles have you put on her)?

have you tried calculating MPG manually? Does it match what the instrument panel is saying?

How often are you in sport/sport+?

Yes I do. I didn't have that open space in my garage. The setup was temporary. Usually the garage is crowded with other stuff.

Sorry to learn about the incident. Hope your insurance has taken care of it. I am surprised to see this act in 2014. Last time I heard about it is 20 years ago when the wheel was so expensive those days.

I would suggest installing some good dash cams with parking mode. Dashcamtalk.com is a good resource.

Great to hear you love your 250. Same here. Gold rims is definitely gutsy so I give your props for that. From the trees/leaves, looks like you're in Canada. Post in a few months from now on durability of the rims after road salt/winter driving - curious and hopefully they last. Enjoy your IS!

Hello all. Got my IS350 F-Sport 3 weeks ago. Came from an 08 IS350. I'm loving it so far. It made me fall in love with cars again.

Congrats SLiCkFX. Silver Lining Metallic is extremely rare on the F-Sport. It suits the bold grill and chrome accents really well. Post other pics if you can!

Thanks. Wow, didn't realize it was that rare, went through the thread and didn't see many.

SLM 350 Fsport looking great!!

As a former 2IS owner, what would you say the pros/cons are from the 3IS and the 2IS 350? Curious to what a customer of both thinks...
