Greetings folks, I just sold my 2011 STi and picked up an nifty little 2014 NGP IS-F from McGrath Lexus of Westmont, IL. I'm actually looking to track down the previous owner of the car. It was purchased in Chandler, AZ and the phone that was paired to the head unit was named "Deno's M8." I'd like to find out why the car was sold/traded and if there was anything done to it!. Pics of my rides to come later! Thanks and hope to fit in~!

Default Traded my LS430 in on IS F

Today I purchased my 4th Lexus, a 2010 IS F-

http://www.toybarnofgoshen.com/inven...596894140-1238

Previously all of my Lexus cars were LS, and an 02 LS430 Ultra is what I traded in on this car.

The dealer is 150 miles away from my house and it was interesting to drive there and back in different vehicles for a comparison.

Firstly, I absolutely loved my LS but I had it for 8 years and it just turned 203k miles so I felt it was time to change it up. LS, you will be missed!

After driving the IS F home I must say it is an excellent vehicle. What I was most concerned about after reading/viewing all of the reviews was a diabolical back breaking ride.......and this did not exist at all.

It has a firm ride yes but it is not harsh at all. Nice progression. Steering and handling is amazing. The car just feels rock solid and I have absolutely zero complaints or concerns about using this as an 80 mile per day driver. (as I will be). Can't say enough how much I love the chassis.

Engine sounds great. Trans works very nice and like all other Lexus vehicles I found it to be rather intuitive and not hunting around as some suggest. Highway acceleration is strong. Feels just very slightly slower than my F355 but I will have to test that

The shop I work for has a dyno I use on a daily basis so I may throw the car up there just out of curiosity as well.

Anyway, I've been lurking here and soaking up info while I was searching for a car so thought I would stop in and say hi now that I've found one.
