Default test drove is 350

I took a little time the other day to test drive a is350. I tried out a 250 when they first hit the scene several months back. The is350 I tried out was a dirrerent breed. It has the standard stereo, no memory seats, no electronic telescopic steering wheel, no ventelated seats or preferrated style seats. It was a very option-less car.

drive: Loved it, very peppy and felt very sporty. Handled very well on some 180 degree ramps. Seemed to be more nimble than I first thought. The powerful v6 was excellent. The shift out of the transmission was firm, and did not seem to have much hesitation.

exterior: I have loved the look of the is350 since I first seen it. Thats my opinion, and I am sticking to it.

interior: Very spacious for the size of the car, everything was laid out well. I don't know exactly where some other option buttons would have been located.

I figure for a speedy is350, the one I looked at would be a nice choice.

i wouldn't describe the interior as "very spacious"... We are loving the 350 but it would get annoying if we had to constantly put people in the back seat.
