IS replaced my 2004 Honda S2000 and 1997 Honda Civic (275K miles).

The IS pales in comparison to the S2000 in handling/performance (I got the 250 for AWD) but I don't miss it. That might be because I still have a motorcycle to fill in the gap. Lol

It replaced a 2006 VW GTI which had several mods. My GTI had APR software, an intercooler, an APR high pressure fuel pump, and an APR performance exhaust as well as some cosmetic changes. That was all good for about 290 hp and 325 tq. It was a fun little car and handled like it was on rails, but I got rear ended and in a hatchback style car like it was, that spelled disaster.

I had a modded E46 M3 but wanted to go another route: Japanese car(reliability), 4dr, automatic, low mileage, etc. so I went with the IS350. I miss a lot of things about the M3 especially the attention it gets lol but I don't miss the thousands of dollars I spend everytime something goes bad. I'm starting to love the IS though and looking forward to all the mods I have planned. Sorry I haven't been taking pics of the IS so I only got for the M3.
