Nice man... i used to own a 2is and now own a 3gs so i can relate. I like both cars, the is felt more sporty and the gs feels more grown up.

How are the 2IS? I was looking to buy a used manual 2IS or 1IS... How do u compare it to the 3GS? I feel the 3GS suspension is too soft and rolls too much... the weight is also felt too though its really really nice cruiser.... Not to say looks a lot better to me also.

I went from a 2IS 350 to a 3LS 460, loved the extra space and the engine but not the suspension or size. Now I'm in a 3GS 460 and loving everything about it.

Welcome to the 3GS world, they're all great cars.

I suggest a is350 I had the is250 and it is so underpowered I hated it as for handling it's good it because I have coilovers. Since the is and GS coilover are interchangeable Imma lower it this weekend !

I came from an IS and I sure miss the sportiness, agressive look when slammed, and the power. even though the GS has the same engine, the IS felt alot faster. But the IS was getting a lil too small for me. The down side of the GS is that it rolls like a bish even though I have installed front and rear Fsport sways. Might have to get coils later.

From my knowledge people say it's not worth it. My friend has a manual is300 with headers intake cat and resonator delete and the car smashes!

Congrats on the new GS. I was looking to trade in my GS460 on an IS-F a while back, but then I sat in the IS and wasn't nearly as comfortable. Being 6'4", 220 lbs, it's best to have a bit bigger car IS-F would have been fun though! You'll love the GS.

WHAT!?! what does the center even look like... I thought they come standard with navigation! If only you bought a year younger... (2008-2010?) they have aux.... but i think the face lift is ugly.... whats your plan for GS?
