well after a 10 months of owning my 2010 Acura TSX with full sport bumper kit, i got the itch for a new car. I traded my TSX last nite for a 2010 Tungsten Pearl(silver/with blk leather) Lexus IS250...Im loving the Lexus, it drives great, i will post some pics of my new car soon. I plan to drop it and do some stagg. Vossen rims.

Loozah.

Enjoy your Lexus. My parents own a GS300 and my g/f drives a IS250. Both very nice cars.

Now you'll just blend into the sea of Lexuses. LOL.

Mavrax

Did you sell the TSX or trade it? If a trade in, they must have raped you...lol.

man, only 10 months...

bartek7pl

I would't do that especially when IS 250 is about to be redesign and you just bought 5 year old design.

DerwoodEE

Can't believe you did that after just 10 months. You must have taken a good loss.

I was extremely close to getting an IS, but then I drove the TSX afterwards and was hooked.

VTX

Hey, we each have different tastes, and I thought about the IS too before I got my 2010 v6, but the TSX is a much better looking car in my eyes, and the price/content ratio cannot be beaten, and the backseat of the IS was too small for my needs.

IS 250 is nice but its gonna be redesigned soon.

ressling

Congrats on your new purchase but man... you must have money to burn!

Aman

Man, at this rate you'll be through 3 cars before the IS gets redesigned.

That was quick... 10 months and you already got the itch for a new car? How long do you normally keep your cars?

Best of luck, and post pics

rastaracer

i know i have issues, ive actually owned 10 cars in 12 yrs, i usually trade every yr or so, i think the longest car i had was my 2nd 2000 civic si and i only had it for about 2 yrs. all i can say is im blessed. here is a pic of my "new new" car..lol

rastaracer

oh and if anyone is intrested, my 2010 acura TSX pwp with black leather, 10k and has full sport bumper kit, i even traded it in with my tein s-tech springs and 6000k headlights and fogs, my car will be for sale at JM LEXUS used car lot located in Coconut Creek FL. once they post the for sale pics i will put up a link.

rastaracer

my insur. actually went down with the Lexus and my car pmt is about $10 less a month. with a low amnt out of pocket. i think i actually got a great deal.

rgoldd

amen!

JeffS

If he has had 10 cars in the last 12 years, I bet he'll have another car before the redesign.

rastaracer

exactly! or once the new IS comes out, ill probably pick one up if they look good.

nj2pa2nc

If that is what you enjoy doing-go for it-We presently own 3 vehicles-our 06 tsx, 07 mitsubishi truck and 2011 hyundai sonata which is one week old today (traded our 05 Hyundai Elantra GT with 100K+miles. We plan to trade in the 06 tsx next June for the 2011 tsx. love that car. Not a big fan of the Toyota product.

HHCZ

how do you compare ride quality, steering and overall feel with the CU2?

rastaracer

well 1st off the car drives a whole lot smoother and its definately quieter, the steering is weird bcuz i feel the acura was stiffer but then i again i had changed the suspension only a few days after getting the car, i think with the right mods i might actually stick with the Lexus for a little while, i do miss the acura and probably would of keeped it if the rims i have my mind set on would of fit.

Tannis

Yup. Only worthwhile lexus besides the L-F and that costs...well, a lot more than I can afford. lol!

HHCZ

IS-F is un-driveable on a "normal" roads. Maybe in the USA, but in Europe it will kill you alive. It has NO suspension at all.

ed_423

have to say, i do love the look of the IS...

HondaOnWORKS

People are talking about redesigns... The new Lexus IS250 on the market is a facelift version so its a slightly different look. Even though the design is about to change don't mean the car will look better. Its just a chance. Like many people dealt with the problem of buying the 08 TSX or 09 TSX. I was one of those people. I ended up getting the 2008 CL7 TSX. True, it has less tech compared to the new CU2 TSX. As in the one-touch moonroof, and one-touch on passenger side. Also a sub, and live weather/traffic I probably won't use. I can live w/o the one-touch. I feel the CL7 TSX is more nimble, and funnier to drive than the new TSX. The new TSX feels more luxurious than sporty. A 6spd CL7 TSX gives out better #s than the CU2 TSX. Deal breaker = Touch screen over the flood of buttons on the CU2 =)

But back to point. I personally would rather get a CU2 TSX than the IS250. IS250 fails to compare to the TSX in performance. The Inline4 TSX produce better #s than the IS250. The TSX handles better than the IS250. The only thing the IS250 got over the TSX is probably the luxury, but forget the luxury when Lexus/Toyota is having reliability problems right now. I just don't really like the IS cars much. The IS250 is soft and its a joke. IS350 = no manual? Wtf... IS-F = no manual and 8spd auto? Wtf. Joke. The IS is labeled as a sport car, but its made as a luxury car.

Makes me miss my IS300. Lexus makes a great car. My mom just bought an LS460L to replace her LS430. Good cars.
