My ex in CA had the IS350 and it was one of my picks before the EVO X and dating her. When I visited CA, I drove that car and hated it. Very generic steering feel to the car. Interior and accessories were of course.... nice.

One thing I hate more than the steering was the brakes. It felt as if there was some sort of brake assist. I would hit partial braking.... and after a couple seconds it felt like it would brake slightly harder on its own. Do you experience this?

Actually I like the feeling the steering wheel gives. Very smooth. That's weird about the brakes on your ex's IS350, never felt like that when I use mine. My only complaint is the brake squeals. Well, I had that too on my Evo. I guess that's normal with Japanese cars?

I thought about it but it wasn't within my budget.
But I would rather get an M3 for my next upgrade.

I would never buy an isf. You can get the m3 for the same price or almost the same price. Which is also a much better car.

The Lexus looks nice, did a good job with the black on white scheme. Do you miss the Evo at all?

Thanks. Yes, I do miss my Evo. Everytime I see Evo's running by, I think about mine. I even thought about trading the Lexus back for an Evo. Hmmm decisions decisions....

What do you mean Turbo 6? IS350 isn't turbo.
