New (used) IS F Owner
Flew from Orlando to Virginia to buy 2011 USB IS F this past Saturday. Drove it back home to Jacksonville FL same day. Awesome car! I love the power!
Look forward to reading posts and learning all about the car and mods available.

Lindsay Lexus in Alexandria.
The drive was interesting. Encountered some crazy drivers and some annoying drivers. In Virginia, there was a lot of ice falling off semi-trailers and rocks flying up at my baby. South Carolinas concrete interstate needs a lot of work so I will probably need a wheel alignment now.
No police until I got to Georgia. Then there were a bunch. No tickets!!
Arrived home at 3:46am Sunday morning.
Really enjoyed driving the car. I never got uncomfortable so I am very happy with the driver seat.

It's hard to say, they are such completely different cars.
My exige was running about 290bhp, nitron suspension, uprated brakes etc. Lotus definitely has better outright handling, and would easily beat the ISF on a windy track.
ISF has more top end and I think probably better acceleration from 80-100+ as weight becomes less of an issues vs. things like wind resistance.
Driver feel / feedback, again lotus clearly wins, but the Lexus is better then you would expect, and actually more involving than the equivalent m3 that I have tried round a track.
Lexus obviously wins on comfort, practicality and anything like that.
Exige was an awesome toy, but I just didn't use it enough to justify it anymore - I had her for about 5 years so had plenty of fun.
I think overall the ISF is 95% of the fun, while also being useful, and more usable for things like longer driving holidays etc. Hopefully I'll get a lot more use out of it.
