The 8 speed is really great at speed though. From a 40 mph roll and highway speeds, it feels better than the 6 speed. Overall, it definitely feels better than the 6 speed in all other aspects besides straight line acceleration.

Did anyone lease or buy a 3IS 250 and drive it for a few years and recently upgrade to a 3IS 350?
curious to hear your impressions after driving the 250 for years and now having some long term time with a 350.
its easy to get excited on a test drive. Curious to hear from those who have spent time in both daily driving, mostly those who made the long term 250 to 350 switch as mentioned above.

I upgraded to a 350 from a 250 in May. Wouldn't go back to anything lower. The 250 was ridiculously slow, terrible acceleration that was only made bearable by the decent torque. The car weighs about 800 lbs more than my FR-S and has the same HP? Just doesn't make sense haha. At least they upgraded the entry level model to the 200t now (which I still didn't like remotely as much as the 350). If you can afford it, definitely recommend the 350 to anyone over a 250 or 200t. Power is good, suspension is way better, also usually come with more goodies already from the factory (ML Audio, VGRS, etc)
