sold my car for something more practical... it was short but lots of fun.
If someone is interrested in a S4Play Diffuser , I have a brand new one never installed still in original box.
Cheers

Actually my last two cars were both 4-wheel drive (VW CC V6 DSG and BMW 330XDA) but I don´t miss it. I am surprised ppl find the F hard to drive in the snow, as long as you get REAL winter tires (no all season) it is no problems at all IMO with the help from all the electronics.
Congrats on the deal, and I am sure you will be happy even in winter with the Blizzaks
Oops, already sold? That must be a record breaking turn around. I imagine u made some money atleast?

I'll be different here and tell you - forget BOTH cars and get a performance SUV like the X5 or Cayenne if you want a good mix.
IS350 or IS-F are both not meant for snow so if you must get one of them, just get the IS-F and snow tires for sure as they make a huge difference.
Oh and before you say I'm in CA, I grew up in Chicago for the first 20+ years of my life so I know a few things about how to drive in the snow
I agree people who live in CA can't drive in general (forget snow, try rain and they do 40mph) Tahoe and Sierra's don't count since those are places you go for vacation, not something you have to deal with on a daily basis so stop cheating. Most CA people who do any frequent boarding own SUV's anyways, not one single friend I know takes their IS350 boarding!
So buy IS-F or get a performance SUV if you are afraid you can't handle the snow.

The "F" is a beast from another jungle--no comparison, IMO, to the 350 (which is a great car). If you can make the deal, go with the "F."
As for winter driving, it's not a snow mobile (for the experienced or inexperienced winter driver). On snowy days, it's the RX to the office--otherwise, I'm in the saddle.

hi guys!
I am new here so this is my first post!.
I was at the dealership today to buy a new 2012 IS 350 AWD (I live in Quebec Canada) and my dealer is offering me an awesome deal on a 2011 ISF that was driven by the dealer owner.
The car only has the equivalent of 5,000 miles, ML Audio, BBS wheels the top of the live and the idea is he is willing to sell it for the same price as the 2012 IS 350.
SInce I can only have 1 car, will I regret it driving this beast on the snow ?
This deal is too good to be true but I don't want to buy a car and hate it in the snow.

Even though i drove an AWD car before my F, i wouldn't go back.
There's a lot more dry days than snow days in a year and the snowplows are pretty quick to clean and salt the roads. So ISF all the way
