I drove the IS again and you can tell the engineers designed the steering and suspension with actual sport-drivers as their target market. I haven't considered going onto the acura lot, I can't get over the looks and dont think it has the driving experience I am looking for.
That was my experience test driving a C class a few years ago. I sometimes talk to myself while driving and said this feels like an expensive Civic. The salesman had nothing to say.

The only BMW in this price range I would look at is a 335 or now a 435. Drove my friend's 335 to Vegas and that was fun. But not a fan of BMW. How can it be called ultimate when its nearly impossible to get a stick version of the car?

The IS feels like its in a class of its own, especially in sport+ mode.
