Hello my name is Mike and I'm new to these forums and just picked up a 2014 AWD IS350 CPO. I was very active on FitFreak in the 2008/2010 time frame and the Fit was my first car. After thatI traded it in for a 2013 Accord v6. While I enjoyed the luxury and the looks of the Accord I really wanted something more sporty, and AWD which led me to this recent trade in to pick up this White w/ Red interior IS350. The car is beautiful and after a few minor modifications (fsport intake, exhaust, carbon lip spoiler, black out the chrome) I will be extremely happy driving this for 100k+ miles. I drive a LOT which is why I bought CPO instead of brand new as my Honda Accord wasn't a great investment after 110k miles in 3 1/2 years. Anywhere he's a photo of my past 2 cars and my new one.
I've owned lots of cars and usually trade in and get something new every year but I am IN LOVE with the IS250 I just picked up. The car is a blast to drive when I want to have fun but comfortable when I want to cruise. I used to not like the design of the IS (I still think it is a bit overly designed) but when I test drove the car I was completely blown away!
I picked up a pre-owned 2015 IS250 with BLIS, Nav Package 18k miles and plan on getting the F-Sport exhaust, lowering springs, and tinting the windows...thats it. I used to be into modding cars when I was a teenager but now I just want to do a few things here and there and I'll be completely content.
I'm from Portland, OR and would love to meet up with fellow enthusiasts!
Nearly stock per the CL edition:
Ultra White w Obsidian Black doorhandles, side-mirrors, grille, wheels, etc + truck spoiler;
special two-tone black and red leather interior with contrast stitching, w matching mat set and key glove;
Nav, Rear Cross TrafficAlert, BSM + Illuminated Door Sills;
PPF, all-weather mats, console insert..
Purchased in Sept 16' sight unseen from Los Angeles to Louisiana.
First Asian car...coming from a 2006 Saab 9-3 Aero.
This forum has been so helpful from the start. Huge thanks to y'all.

I am taking delivery of my '14 is350 F-sport awd on Tuesday. I can't wait. It is white with the rioja red interior. I've already ordered my Takeda intake. I look forward to visiting the forum for advice and modification ideas. I am constantly tinkering with my vehicles. \

Glad you're back with an IS. Definitely let us know what you think of the new screen and any other noticeable differences!
Thanks! Traded back the Audi. Was a nice car, but I just wasn't excited about it. IS feels just right.

Do you happen to know the part #'s for that key chain and plate holder?
Thanks! It's from the Lexus Boutique catalog in Canada. Not sure if it's the same in the US, but hope this helps!

LOL. A4 was the shortest ownership ever for me at 6 weeks. Happy to be back in an IS and although I was not fond of the new refresh, it has grown on me ever since.
