Aesthetics, performance (manual transmission), smooth precise feel, functionality, and reliability. Unfortunately, I'm not convinced that it will be as reliable as I'd hoped (carbon buildup, creaking seats, creaking dash, etc.)

My father wanted me to get a Porsche 911, but I wanted a cheaper and more practical car since I was in high school. The IS350 was only ~45k out the door vs nearly over $90k.

At first I wanted an s2000. Price was like $16k around in my area. Then I looked for an IS since I wanted this One. Of course is350 and it was 18k. I was like for 2 more thousand I could get a better car! But when I checked the location it was far! So I ended up looking at local dealerships and found a clean is350 for 24k and bought it! Over budget BUt im happy with it!

I bought mine used and the fact that I am the only one that have an IS350 F Sport in town. There are so many other Lexus as well but not F Sport. I went with the IS350 F Sport because I like how it's designed. It's a pretty much used for cruising and when it comes to taking the back roads or clover leaf ramps. It suits me real well, although I come from a guy that drives and has done a lot of track time with AWD cars. But maybe a little off topic but does anyone have pics of a IS350 with all of the F Sport goodies?
I was there.

I originally wanted to get a WRX but it was impossible to find a unmodified one or one where the engine hasnt been blown or replaced, OR I was gonna DD my Accord and get a 2nd car (S2k, or M3). I couldn't decide what I wanted to do til I found this deal of a life time on my IS. Guy from Cali moves to NYC (mid town Manhattan) and was paying 600 a month to garage it, and another 600 a month to insure it on a car he barely drove. I threw him a low ball offer and he surprisingly took it because the car was already costing him more

Same here. I wanted a new DD and I had 3 rules, It NEEDS to be AWD, NEEDS to look great under all conditions (fancy night out, beach day,etc), and needs cheap/reasonable maintenance.
