Considering Going From a 3IS to an IS F.
Has anyone gone from a 3IS to an IS F? I have a '15 IS 250 F Sport which I love, but I've have been looking at IS Fs......What to do.....

I have a 14 IS350 F-sport and a n 08 ISF. No comparison. The 3IS is the comfortable daily driver. It rides smoother and not near the harsh quickness. It's quick, but not fast... and the 250 is a DOG compared to the 350.
The 08 ISF with headers is an animal, ride is much firmer, sound is much better... over all, it's a fun toy that everyone should have.

The actual advantages your 3IS will have over the ISF.
- More modern interior.
- Better fuel economy.
- Better comfort in daily driving, smoother etc.
- Cheaper to maintain, service/parts.
- 3IS in general looks sleeker than a 2IS, especially to those who don't know what an ISF is.

only thing the 3IS has on the ISF is the interior.
ISF has two personalities. One is a normal daily driver, and it can be a fast and aggressive car. thats what i loved about it.
ISF is so cheap to maintain, its not even funny. should be a crime to have that much power and that cheap to maintain. its one of the biggest reasons why i stayed with lexus.

The 3IS is newer, bolder, and has a greater aftermarket support than the IS F. Having driven both within the last week, not including my own modified F, I would advise in favor of the 3IS if you're looking for a comfortable daily driver and still enough oomph to get you through your commute. With my IS F, she does see the track, hits the canyons, and yearns for long straightaways. While the 3IS is no slouch, power wise still goes to the IS F. The 3IS does have a more modern interior, and with many of the newer amenities that aren't found on the IS F. It really does depend on the owner and his/her needs.
Best of luck!

This is a no brainier....If the money is there, and you don't mind losing a slightly better interior, the 11+ ISF is the way to go.

Long time lurker 3rd time posting. Like everyone else a isx50 doesn't even compare. I came from an 07 is350 to an 11 ISF and haven't looked back once! This is a rare bird most people overlook and say nice f sport lol. Now a 3is front bumper would look good I think. Anyone ever try that yet?
