Get another IS 350 or an Audi A5?
#91
To share my own experience, I recently considered trading my '11 IS 250 for a '11 A5. After test driving the A5, I thimk it was a big letdown. The steering wheel felt extremely light, so I felt that my 250 handles better than the A5. It acceerated much faster, but that's not a dciding factor.
I have to admit, the exterior of the A5 is impressive. However, when comparing the interior, the A5 felt cheap.

Oh, I was driving by myself so the salesman didn't tell me that. Even if the steering gets stiffer, it felt like a downgrade instead of an upgrade. The 350 should be a solid choice between the two if my 250 felt better than the A5! Plus, it didnt even have keyless entry when keyless entry is standard on my 250.
I still love the Audi headlights though! Sexy! Good thing my IS has the DRL LED too haha

Lexus Test Driver
Came from an 06 Audi A4 to the 06 Lex... The Lex is certainly not the A4's equal in driver feedback. This alone is probably one of the biggest reasons I long to go back to Audi.
Sure the lex has great numbers, but Ive found that "numbers" don't let you enjoy a drive in the country like the Audi does.

For the record, my A4 was relatively reliable, save for a few things. The IS has been a tick above that, but not flawless.
