Just thought i would share, since im european living in states and i do sports for living i have to keep renewing my paperwork and visa for every season , so for me that means to travel outside of USA and usually a trip from Naples FL up to Canada to Ottawa , well in october i made my trip in my 2014 IS 350 f-sport and last week i took the 2012 ISF for drive .... Well first i was amazed by the MPG i was getting almost 24.9 MPG at cruise control set to 82MPH same thing with IS 350 meant 23.3MPG .... Over all the cars were comparable at comfort , but i enjoyed my trip with ISF a little better than with the 350 .... I drive a lot and i put almost 40 000miles on my 350 from september u til april , the ISF ive had for over two months and put almost 15 000miles on it and loved every single one of them .... I drive the car hard most of the time and it goes to the tracks, 1/4 mile and to west palm raceway and after 20+ passes at the strip brings me home in comfort with getting 25 MPG .... Had all kinds of cars in europe, Mercedes, Bmw, Audi , but so far my Lexuses did the best and the ISF is a stand out with performance and durability , nothing worst and more expensive than changing transmissions on Bmws and Mercedeses .....
Well cheers to our cars
Great to see . After 7 track days in a year with ZERO issues I know the F is well built and well designed . Great to be able to really use the car with full confidence , especially with a car of this level of performance

Wow you drive a lot! That might be a record 15,000 miles in 2 months, keep that kind of pace going and you'll have the most miles on an F in no time
Nice Looking F, Im from Naples as well glad to see another F in this city , they are not that common around here
I Drive a 2010 Black ISF

Thank you guys , i play ice hockey and im in one of the NHL teams system, so they send us all over the place .... To me i love to use the car , i love driving and cars over all , used to have a charger srt8 with hennessey package on it, but over the years i switched to more luxury cars , not to take anything away from my favourite Hellcat, but before i got my ISF i went to testdrive all kinds of cars, i came back to the States in september and wanted something that is gonna make me happy , tried Shelby gt500 ... To much power and the car doesnt handle it well and u cant even use it, loved Camaro zl1 , but the interior was just like in my Chevy cruze rental ( no offense to people who drive Camaro) and Hellcat is imposible to get , tried M4 , cts-v , and CLK 63 amg black series, actually Clk 63 amg black series was the car i chose to get, but then one of our old sponsors gave me a great deal on Lexus , i drove GS460 in europe , so i wanted GS , but no V8 , so i went to lighter IS with 3.5 , beautiful car, all the options, but then one day somebody traded in their 2012 isf and that day i traded my IS 350 . To be honest the looks of new IS-F sports r more modern, but ISF has character and it puts smile on my face every day.... I have bumper to bumper certified warranty up to 125 000 miles , so ill drive the hell out of it until then .... No point of having this kind of car and not to have fun with it and use it and find its limits at the track .... Some people might look at it diferently, but its my opinion.....
So one more time cheers to our ISFs
Welcome to the forums, now we have a NHL hockey player with us! woot! Free tickets for the ISF family?! haha!!
You are right though, the F is one of the most reliable, comfortable, and fun cars to drive around in, especially 15k miles in 2 months! Quick question, how often are you getting oil changes?
Also, once you start to get bored of the car, time for a PTS/Joe-z exhaust! So when you do open her up, it leaves you with a fat grin!
