Good on ya man.

It should go without saying that the 2.0T is a boon over the lazy 2.5. I test drove an NX200T back around March and thought it was a solid performer - good linear power to redline. More than adequate for a 4,000 lb cute-ute getting 22/27 mpg. Should feel competitive with 500 lbs less to carry around. Although bit of a head scratcher that it gets the same city mileage 22/33

Interesting that Lexus doesn't wanna fight at the entry power level ala A4 1.8T, 320i, TLX 2.4, ATS 2.5.

Gunnning straight for the C300? That's a bold strategy Cotton.

The FR-S handling and WRX TQ really killed the IS for me. Drove the IS350 and 200t. Both handle better than WRX and have better sensory feedback...but the TQ/weight....I am depress banana.

Really wanted to go Lexus, but might need to go 335i.

Thats a lot of miles...Wonder how well they hold up past the 80K mark.

I'd be a little weary, especially since warranty is out of the picture.

My friend has a 2014 IS350 Fsport. While nice, hey it is a LEXUS, its noticeably underpowered and overpriced IMO.

Rear drive with a new turbo engine. Just wondering if anyone test drove one how it compared to the twins.

Of note, I searched over at the IS forum and could not find any postings of serious issues with the 3rd gen IS, which has been out for a few years now.

No engine failure posts that I could see. They even don't have a section for "issues" like we have here. Guess not need.
