I went and test drove a 09 F in Raleigh this weekend as my wife and I were considering replacing her 350 with it. It seems that until you get above 70mph or so there really is not much difference in acceleration. The f feels more linear and is faster, but 1st and 2nd gear in the 350 feel better to me. The F looks better by far and sounds great, but to me it did'nt make a good enough impression to pay the $10k-$20k premium. I really wanted to love the f but I guess I'll just put that extra money toward a LSX for my FD RX-7. BTW if anyone is around NC and has seen the 20K mile 2009 ISF at Johnson Subaru in Cary for sale on Autotrader or anywhere else for $41k. Beware it smells extremely bad of cigarette smoke and has had a pretty rough 20k miles (wear on the seats, scratches, etc)

id go with the 350 enough said, if its a daily why not get a 350 that did the job before? going with the f is just for bragging from what your thinking i feel. the f is for performance. if you want the an true car why not a lexus gs, or lexus ls?????? a higher class luxury car for the same price

Get what YOU want. But, IMO the 350 has enough go for the streets and you can put all those extra thousands you would have spent on the IS-F into mods.
