'14 IS350 and ISF
I'll be in the market for a car next month. I'm thinking about a New IS350 and a used F (any year).
Can anyone share their personal experiences with these two vehicles? I know they're both great cars. Any input is very appreciated.

If you're not really a "hard" driver by any means, the 3IS F-sport should be plenty... It's pretty comfortable when you want it, and because of the adjustable suspension, it's sporty when you want it also by just switching it over to sport+ mode. It has plenty of getup and go, but definitely slower than the IS-F. The interior design is pretty awesome as well. It has a bit more room in the back for passengers which is a plus if you drive with a full car. The rear seats fold down so you can transport a lot more stuff than the ISF (which also only has 2 seats in the back btw).
MPG goes to the IS350 in the city, but on highway, if I stay out of it, I can easily get 27-28 MPG on my ISF.
The only mechanical advantage it has over the ISF is the G-sensing 8spd transmission. It'll hold the gear in a turn to prevent imbalance when shifting. It does not shift as fast as the ISF though... .2 seconds vs .1 seconds (up to).
Now if you're a hard driver, meaning you like to dive into turns at high speeds, floor it onto an onramp passing multiple cars at once, you're going to definitely want the ISF. But be prepared to receive less attention than the 3IS though, because people simply don't know what the ISF is.
