Default Finally saw another 3IS on the road at night...

For some reason, I hardly ever see 3IS's in the NY Metro area. Seriously...I've probably seen less than 10 and most have been parked.

Driving home this past weekend, I finally got see what everybody else sees when I drive. The headlight and DRL's in all their glory. I have to say it gave me goosebumps (well not really, but it was really cool!).

I'm loving this car more and more each day.

Just thought I'd share.

The last time I saw a 3IS was about 2 weeks ago.

Looks like we all have the same car! I have actually not seen a another UW 350F-Sport AWD on the road or parked at all. They're usually black or silver.

redraptor - how do you manage a 24.2mpg average?!?! I'm lucky if I get 20!

I don't see many UW 350 F-Sports around except for mine and another I saw on the belt pkway. Most are non-FSports but if you see an UW one with CL decals on the rear side windows and the F-Sport fogs on the southern state pkway and queens area, that's me

You can get fogs on an F-Sport?

Possibly ?? I havent seen another 3IS like mine at all in this North NJ area.

There's no package fogs for the F-Sports for us in America whereas the rest of the world has them lol but there was a group buy here for them imported from Japan so I got them installed

If you don't mind me asking, can you let me know how much you paid for the labor to get the fog lights installed? Thanks.

I gave them to my dealer and they charged me $120/hr of labor for a total of 4 hours. Steep, yes, but was worth it to me and my time.

Here in Scottsdale, AZ i see a 3IS every once in while but most are no F-Sport 250s and with a sprinkle of 350s in the mix. It was tell recently that i saw a Black 3IS 350 F-Sport while i was on my way to work then the next night while at a stop light an Ultra White 3IS 350 F-Sport pulled up next to me while i was in mine :P

At least here, its funny being next to the 250s as i get almost a snarl look from the drivers, probably cause they wanted the version i have vs theirs
