The IS350 will replace my 2002 C230 Kompressor coupe. The C230K was my first car and it was virtually problem-free for 47000 miles, maybe it was because I had no options at all.

I go to UCR too but if I bring my IS350 down for school, it'll be in a garage. When I was looking for a place to live next year, my main goal was to get one with a garage and I did. I figure chances of it being stolen out of garages are slimmer than leaving it next to the curb outside.

2004 Cadillac CTS. Too many visits to the dealer prompted me to trade for the IS350.

Easier on the wallet...paid for. Better mileage. Lower insurance cost.

Easier on the eyes too!

yeah definitely garage your car! i felt horrible for my room mate cuz my other room mate n i had our cars in the garage that night and we all had integras... so it was a matter of who had to park outside that night. if you can't get the garage at least park it in the driveway. when we were looking for a house to stay at, our main criteria was also a garage AND central air.

I sold everything I had on my modded 04' NIssan 350Z pictured below, and traded it in stock for an IS350. The only reason I did this was because I'm getting married to my gf that has 2 small kids and needed to get a luxury sports car that is the best bang for the buck. And I saw that in the IS350 in which will start getting modded very soon. Can't wait...

actually yeah mine got stolen in front of my apt and i lived in a really nice apt, gated and rent was effin expensive so mainly families stayed there and NOT college kids like grandmarc.. so i didnt think a garage was necessary. but then my car got broken into one night, alarm cut out, then stolen the next day. the next week i bought a garage. so in riverside definitely get a garage!!! i just graduated this year [at 20 years old!!] and i am NEVER EVER going back to riverside lol

My IS350 retired a 2001 Chevy Silverado Z71... I loved that truck, but I'm glad I sold it before gas prices got to where they are now. Loving my IS and not looking back
