3IS handles, feels, and drives so much better than my 2IS did especially in the transmission. Yes its not as aggressive from a stop as the 2IS was. Ive driven both on the track. The 06 has F sport shocks now which helped a bit with the smootness but the steering and tranny dont come near the 3IS. Also the seats in the 2IS are terrible compared to the 3IS

I agree. The 2is felt like it took off a lot quicker, but that's about it. I think the 3is is better in every other way

Thanks for clearing this up guys....I agree...the new IS350 is simply a complete car. I guess we should be happy that Toyota is being aggressive with styling and handling. I will test drive again and choose one.
