Sold My IS-F
Sold it on Monday for an 09 Cayenne turbo. Is-f was fun and a great car but needed more space.
Will post my joe-z exhaust and stock 2008 wheels for sale shortly. Thanks.

Things I didnt like:
1) No fold down rear seats
2) Only room in the back for 2
3) Suspension dampening was not very good, does not soak up bumps well, too bouncy
4) Didnt like the visibility (esp from the front bubbly hood)
5) Brakes werent are progressive as I would have liked
6) 8-speed auto downshifts could be a little smoother meaning, they didnt have to upset the entire balance of the car
7) Reservoir for brake fluid, Motul does not make a true screw on adapter for japanese cars, so power bleeding was a pain in the ***
Things I did like:
1) Motor, torque
2) 8-speed auto on upshifts, fast clean response
3) Had good turn in, little body roll
4) Noise when 2nd intake opens
The IS-F was probably my last lexus and japanese car. Just prefer the feel of german cars more and for me they are easier to work on. Thanks.

Where am I gonna put my fishing poles!!? lol
I did not like only 2 seats in rear, should be 3.
I know the 2011 has better dampening, but is it enough to make me happy? I'm pretty sure it will
Visibility is important, and i'm glad you brought that up. I will check it out next time im in an ISF.
I bought a Honda Civic SI Due to the declining Real Estate market and wanting to save GAS. I was dissapointed so much that within 6 months i had sold it. I wonder if ISF will keep my smiles going.
I like that ISF can save gas and be a dual purpose vehicle, and I really think i can overlook most of the minor issues.
I need more time in the seat...
thanks for your input.

^ all that listed are minor things for me. The major thing for me was that the seats didn't fold down. As a diy kinda guy this has been really the only problem I've had with my car. I gotta borrow my girls tc if I ever gotta put larger things in the trunk
