How do you find the electronic steering (EPS) in the 350? I’ve read some of the e-steering systems in newer cars are numb, and others aren’t. I’ve been spending a lot of time reading about this car (great info here:
http://www.lexus.com/cpo/model_library/IS/2012.html) and I was surprised 0-60 is 5.6s! I think I will end up with one of these, as long as I keep my Accord. I must have at least one manual car lol. I go back and forth between 350 F-sport and ISF though. Either way it’s an auto, but having RWD might make up for that. With the ISF I am sorta afraid to own a V8, but if I keep my Accord I can break things up with gas, especially in the winter when the ISF would probably not be driven for a few months. At least this is all what I tell myself to justify trying to get one.
Otherwise I was considering a G8 GXP but not sure I could live with the interior and apparently parts are getting rare. Or ‘09 335i M-sport, but I read it’s costly to maintain out of warranty. I actually like the 4.5G TL too, but it’s so heavy and the SH-AWD is still FWD biased (don’t want FWD again). The IS350 meets most of my criteria except for manual trans, and I wish it had 300tq. Which really makes me want an ISF. It wouldn’t be cheap but if my wife can drive it that’s another angle to use to persuade her, since she doesn’t want to learn manual.
Sorry for the tangent there, you and Frank both just have me a little excited about the possibility of ending up with a Lexus haha. Which would also be white.
Curious to see what you do with your 350, or if you end up with that ISF!

That looks sooo good. I've started saving for my IS, that's where this year's (and every year's) tax refund is going. Then after we finish paying off my wife's student loan we'll have more to put toward the down payment as well. I just want this loan to be as small as possible lol, esp if I find an ISF.
