Gotta say the '04 is the best! #1 - it is the year that i have #2 my cousin has an '01 and there are differences in the ride and handling of the two cars. All bets aside though, the IS300 no matter which year is just a cool car and a fun driving experience!

I like the 01s cause you don't have to fix the melting dash.
