picked up an IS350

montreal red · 03-26-2009, 11:44 AM

its a comfy car to drive and very good looking but the drive is to uninspiring...

Nice, I love the 350s. I myself have an IS300. Best car ive ever owned.
I plan on getting a 335 only because of the turbos. NA engines are hard to gain power.

If the 350 came with a 2jz then itd be a no brainer for me. I love fast, quiet, smooth, luxury cars.

Thanks for all the comments guys....the NA feeling is pretty raw....but the twin turbos just pull so hard!

Dam inside looks so much better than BMW's. Or just more like my taste. Nice looking car.

I drove one last week and it drove real good. Good mix of comfort and performance. If the back seats ain't so damn cramped I would've bought it.

i like lexus as well....but didnt like the numb steering feeling and no manual tranny of the is350.

Buddy, I've owned 2 different Lexus models LS400 and IS350 and test drove the IS350. Not a single problem with either of them.

They are miles ahead of BMW in terms of both reliability and comfort. Don't get me wrong, BMW is good, just not in the same league as Lexus (in that department). You feel like you are encased in a little capsule, that's how good they are. Everything about the cars is just so smooth.

Damn that sucks man, good think your dads ok. Those IS's are sick.
