Evo IX, Evo X, IS350 ?
Evo IX, Evo X, IS350 ?
I am in the market for one of these cars within the next month or two. Can i have opinions on what car you would choose and why?
I plan on daily driving to work, personal, events, school, dates, long distance etc. in the Evo or IS350. I also plan on getting a project car hence i need a good daily. I am planning on purchasing a Nissan S14 Kouki and Zenki with a 2JZ for drag, drifting, track, auto cross, weekend and just fun driving. So, the daily would be nice to be reliable and also have some power to it and thats why i narrowed it down to either the EVO or the IS350. I will be putting basic bolt ons, suspension, and wheels on either car.
Whats your thoughts?

If you are looking for a raw badass car then get a 9. Easy to get power out of it.
If you are looking for a comfortable car with good power get a 10. Clean ride with modern interior.
Skip the lexus imho. If you drift/autoX for fun on the weekends, an Evo will feed you those same shots of adrenaline on a daily basis. I split DD time between my 500+ hp IX and my liter bike...I'm late to work sometimes because I can't decide lol.

I see those 3 cars as very different in stock form.
-IS is isolated and more fun to drive than other Lexus models (does that say much?)
-8s and 9s are raw
-10s are somewhere between, but much closer to the 8s and 9s than an IS
I've had Lexi as DDs for the last 11 years. Best cars made IMO. A Toyota screwed together IN Japan can't be beat for a DD that keeps you out of trouble and functions as an appliance. They are:
-Comfortable
-Quiet
-Reliable
And the best part?
-Some models (probably not an IS) will allow you to get away with WAAAAY more on the street than you can in most other cars. My current car is a bone stock silver LS (perfectly boring)...I guess most cops don't care to pull people over who may be their Parents age.
My bottomline:
DD = IS
Track car = 8s or 9s
DD & weekend warrior = 10
