i would say it's a bad facsimile of e36 and even worse for e46 h: handling wise it's just not there. luxury wise, it's just not there.

 

I take it this is an unbiased opinion h:

 

it was the opinion of mine as well as several people on is300.net board before it was changed to clublexus or something like that.

as well as that of automotive journalists. the car is what it is. base luxury model with sporting intentions but can't keep up to the standard in that segment. the 3 series.

 

so i should get 3-series instead?

rick enlighten me. those cars have straight 6's too huh, but its not the same kind of note.

i just had a loong talk with my mom after decorating our christmas tree. getting another car doesnt seem very smart with the stuff my parents are going through right now.

 

15k for an M5? Damn, cheap. 100k miles




Eddie this Benzo is sex

 

i already made an m5 thread.

no you should drive them and see which one you prefer.


and your parents are probably right... you already have more than 1 car

 

def not the same kind of note...a much sexier note ...I love the sound of my car h:


btw I love that black mercedes :drool:

 

The IS is slow stock. I can't even chirp the tires with the traction off. But if you boost its a whole nother story.
I just bought a full used turbo kit for $2500. I can't wait for the spring

 

I can't recall any major issues with the car at all, the IS300s are our more reliable cars. We barely see them have issues other than normal maint and the occasional a/f ratio sensor. Thats just about it though. The only thing that frustrates me with the IS is it shares basically the same type of suspension setup as the GS and SC430, the camber adjusters in the rear like to seize up. That may not be a problem out west though.
