ISF as a Daily

daily driver here. like others have said, the power, handling, luxury, and overall performance makes it a great daily driver. the only thing that could be better is the MPG, but then most people who get the IS-F know they'll be visiting the gas pump more often.

Daily mine here too! Go through 2-3 tanks a week! Drive it to work, use it to deliver cakes(have a cake business as well), and go all over the tri state for meets or go out with the lady. I gladly fill up everytime. Every single time i turn on the car i smile.

You can add me to the list of DD on here as well. These cars are too much fun, not to mention so nice to look at (and give others the opportunity to admire) to lock away in a garage for the better portion of the week/month/year - at least IMO. Life's too short, we spend all this money for them so why not enjoy them for what they are and give ourselves the opportunity to do that on a daily basis :-) In my younger years I was all about having multiple vehicles so I could keep my precious ones as mint as possible but as I got older I thought for what and/or for who? So that I could get a few (and I mean few) thousand more at the time of resale...cars should not be purchased or seen as investments (at least not these cars - I know certain rare ones are exceptions). You can still cherish and enjoy something that is driven daily - I know I do! +1 on the clear bra. I was fortunate to have already had mine installed by the previous owner but had it first on the list of must haves had it not. Mine is almost half way up the hood, covers the entire bumper and 3/4 of the side mirrors. If/when I ever purchase a front lip that will be getting wrapped as well. That and touch up paint are two must haves for the delicate Lexus paint :-)

DD here as well just picked up my F a couple weeks ago and I'm absolutely in love with it. I had the dreaded touch screen issue but thankfully this forum was able to help me fix it cheaply. Between my love for the F and how friendly and helpful everyone seems here I can see myself driving an F for a long time.
