Congrats!

Nice. I love the F-Sport front end.

I wonder how the IS250 RWD F-Sport compares to the FRS.

What made you get an FRS if you could afford significantly more?

Nassty · 12-13-2013, 12:13 AM

Definitely a sexy looking car but its an auto :/ - How's it drive? I heard a few reviews saying it wasn't as fun as expected

I still have my 2001 Lexus IS300... and still like driving it. It's not as good as the FRS in the turns... but then.. it's a diff rig (go figure).

I'm keeping my eye on the newly announced Lexus Coupe... that should be something to check out... hopefully production won't mess up with what looks like a promising rig.

Overall a terrible financial decision! I suppose we all learn from our mistakes.

I could have easily afforded significantly more, but given what I was looking for the twins were a much better buy. All these entry luxury cars are getting way too big and fat to meet my sporty criteria.

Haha, I thought it was a general question stating anyone who can afford more than the twins should buy another car.

It was more of a "what made you buy a 'cheap twin' and sell it for a car that cost a lot more, instead of buying that car in the first place"

I know a lot of people bought the twins for a reason instead of some other higher priced cars. It just seems there are also some people that seem to have impulse bought this car thinking it is something it isn't? Am I making sense? ^_^

You do realize you don't have to spend what you can afford right?

The IS is nice car but ultimately I got rid of mine because I missed my MR2 feel. The new IS is especially luxurious - of all the high end brands, I like Lexus leather the best followed by BMW.

Audi leather always smells like puke to me for some weird reason...

Does your IS have the LFA inspired tach?

No I didn't realize people can spend less than their entire income plus maxed out credit.
