Yeah, a bit more power would be nice. I really bagged the hell out of my rental. Brake torque burnouts and drifting every corner. It handled really nice. I just couldn't get over how smooth and quiet it was compared to the sti. My boss got in, and was like.."now....this is the car I would get if I was your age". hahaha.

Congrats on the new purchase. I thought about getting one as well. My previous car was a IS300. Too bad they couldn't have kept the 2JZ-GE for the new models as well.

Congrats on the purchase. Its a good choice, but why not 335i?

Exhausted · 11-26-2007, 08:28 AM

ha, I almost bought the IS 250 for the same financial reasons but then splurged on the STI.

It looks great though - good purchase.

STI_Mike · 11-26-2007, 08:29 AM

the IS250 is an awesome car! i would trade my STI for a IS350 any day.

Good stuff. I sold my IS250 AWD for the STI. Enjoy all the toys that come with the car and the compliments...

Trying to save $$$ means no IS350 / 335i...and I'm not a big fan of the 3 series...plus I work @ Lexus...(even though I have a friend at BMW, I didn't like the 328 for me)

If the IS350 came stick shift, it would be a winner, but the tiptronic isn't bad at all...

It's an awesome ride, the car handles great for being a RWD, but it's no STI...

feels girlish on the curves
