I went down the street, test drove a new IS300, definately alot slower, but it still handled great, couldnt hear a thing, and the interior is beautiful.
Im not hating on the evo but i decided today its NOT the car for me.

yea, im kinda the same way i guess, i still have that "kid" in me though that wants the performance, yet i want luxury.........maybe im getting old......i hope not im only 20 lol

I never said it handled as well because it DEFINATLEY didnt, i just said it handled nice, felt real comfortable to drive and it was real sporty.
my wife has an is300. it is a nice car....reliable, quiet and comfy. however, i don't think it is that sporty. i preferred my 12yrs old 325is over the is300 before i got the evo.
if you want luxury, comfort and performance...bmw 3 series is the way to go.

definately dont want a bmw, once they are out of warranty way to costly to own.

you will be suprised....my bmw wasn't that expensive to maintain out of warranty(no more than my evo). also, bmw is ranked 6th in the JD power ranking in overall quality, ahead of honda. plus, the new bmws come with free oil change, brake pad and rotor replacements, and ....
