Came from an Infiniti g35 to my IS-F I have fun driving this car every day. I only drive bout 6 miles round trip in my car back and forth to the office. Even if it's a short trip its still a fun drive and doesn't get old...

Came from a 335i like CUTigers, then a turbo S2000. Neither could hold a candle to the total package of reliability, rarity, power and luxury of the ISF. My wife had an IS250 before we had our first kid and wanted something bigger, and I always liked the interior of her car. It also never once gave us problems. It was just slow.

The ISF is everything you like about your IS350 plus much more. If your finances are straight, you should definitely trade up.

I had both a 2012 IS350 F-Sport (bought for the wife) and a 2012 ISF (mine) at one point in time. Both are great cars on their own, but when comparing the two... the IS350 was no match to the ISF when it came to looks, driving, handling, and the power from the V8. I would trade

You may want to do a search, most of the members here, me included, have nothing but positive things to say about our F.

You might me on to something here, lol. Go test drive one and make the decision yourself. I can guarantee you WILL like the F. Or you could do the front and rear mod to your current car to make it look like an F... It's an option.

i went from the 2IS to an ISF never looked back. gas mileage might be worst but its not that bad. insurance is just a little bit more but like $50. u will get more looks or people will think u have a modded 2IS. lol very rare to find another isf driving on the east coast. enjoy that v8!

Its like upgrading from a 250 to a 350 with a lot more power. Interior is pretty much the same besides the seats and the some other minor things. Motor, trans, and brakes is what separates the car away from the 350.
