BTW, I am driving my bro's RX330 and its pretty smooth. I bet the RX350 has more power, hopefully youll get that. Or maybe the hybrid

No, I had an 2001 RX300. Also, the RX350 is surprisingly fast. I was able to beat on the car a bit and it can hold it's own at the light.

No those are here to stay for the community! If someone wants to edit them down the road or finds a better option then please do. Mods can take care of that

My present to the 2IS section

Sorry to hear about you selling your car...but I have a question that I don't understand to this day.

Why is the general rule of thought that one must sell their current car to buy a mini-van or SUV for one child? Especially while they are a baby and don't need hardly any space? If the car were a coupe I could see the problem getting into the backseat all the time and messing with a baby seat, but a 4-door sedan? I just don't get it...

And before anyone bashes me for not having kids and not understanding, I do have a 10 month old niece who I babysit all the time and take around with me

The backseat area is really tight for an INFANT seat unless you move the passenger seat up which makes it uncomfortable for someone to sit in that seat.You also carry a lot of stuff when visiting with a baby.The car is too small.
That's how I got my IS from my daughter.
