Just picked up this bone stock 2006 IS 350 with Sport package to replace my 2004 Subaru WRX. My IS won't stay stock for long. Love it so far.

1995 Honda Civic Coupe LSi (101 HP modded with 98 Hatch Civic Vtec-e cylinder)
Got some JDM extras: Sunroof, Power Folding Mirrors, Power Prelude Seats, ITR Momo SRS Wheel, VTi Brakes, Arm rest, 2 DIN center console...
I broke it once unfortunately but got it repaired.
Now I am looking for my "5 year older version" to sell it.

I went from a 2007 328i to a 2007 IS350 and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life

I had a 2007 WRX. I loved it. I miss it but like SLVRSPC, I wanted luxury too.

I come from a 2003 330i sport package. Fun car to drive but the constant break downs (left roadside 4 time within 6 months) expensive repairs and relatively little features for a luxury car leaves that car paling in comparison to my 06 is350.

So from worst decision of my life (bmw) to the best (lexus)

My 250 is coming in Friday, about to replace my 2011 Lancer GTS, will be keeping both until I decide on whether or not I'll be selling the GTS or not

My 3IS replaced my much beloved 2006 Scion tC that I purchased in college. I was planning on keeping that car forever (and still getting the IS350), but someone totaled it. I love this car though

I had just convinced myself not to upgrade, but then my boyfriend wrote off my 2007 Honda Civic. That was enough motivation for me to pull the trigger and purchase my '06 IS350. The bonus is that I only paid a couple grand over my payout - my Civic was mint with low mileage.
