Was the 250 not enough power so you went to the 350? Either way, really nice car. Congrats!

VTEC just kicked in, yo!
I never gave the 350 a try but I'm pretty sure there's a huge difference compared to the 250, prev gen or current.

Dunno anything about the current gen IS other than it looks great (and 350 F Sport exhaust SOUNDS great), but the prev gen IS 250 was a turd. Felt like an absolute pig to drive. I'm surprised they even make 2.5L V6s. Anyway... after test driving 2 of them (the second to confirm it wasn't just the first car having engine-related issues), I test drove the TSX and loved the night and day difference.

I actually liked the TSX 4 banger uengine over the 250 engine. But in car quality its not comparable. Lexus makes a nice car. I have still have the 250 along with the 350 Besides some of the exterior being the same its a completely diff car. The IS350 is a beast. But have yet to step on it. Break in period.

Itz JDM y0!
Sick!! Any plans for a tune? My buddy has the F30 335i with the N55 engine, and with a tune and full bot ons makes over 400 hp. I heard the new B58 engine cars can make 380whp on tune alone.

That's an amazing car. If only Chevy would have done a little more to its looks. Too bad it's nearing end of life

Those are nice looking cars.
The 3's look great. I always thought I would have one by now but I couldn't get over the cost difference. And if buying used/old, I worry about service costs.
The IS is a great car; I was thinking of replacing my used 2g is250 awd auto with a new one.... Then all the Japanese luxury manufacturers killed their manual transmissions around 2014. Did a short lease on a subaru brz but that car was just too small and a bit on the rough side.
Recently picked up a used 2013 TSX (last year they offered a manual) and I'm really liking it. The interior is not as nice as the lexus but it's zipper; especially with the manual.
