lol after all it depends on what part of cali you are in. if you are wealthy enough to live in rich areas like newport beach, laguna beach, palm springs, and out in the ranch area? roads are pretty good there

now get to LA downtown and that's a different story

either way, for people looking at sports cars, my bottom line is the is-f will be on the ok side

Although I haven't driven one yet, my guess is that the IS-F won't have a noticeably harsher ride than my G35c 6MT, which is my dd.

The IS350 feels a lot smoother even with the sport suspension. The brakes require lesser effort to stop the vehicle which is more than likely from the higher amount of sintered metal on the F's brake pads. The F will also require frequent valve adjustments which would involve motor work and the IS350 uses HLA's so you won't be teaing that motor. The IS350's parts are much more common and readily available. Most of your dealers stock them in their own warehouses. The F will be special order on practically everything. The car is NOT ideal for a daily driver unless you have money and time to throw away and don't care about it. I'm glad I have a JZA80 instead that covers what is missing on the IS350.
