Im happy that I traded my S2000 for an IS.....

Nice car but I regret trading in a faster car (350z) to a IS250 every time I try to cut someone off.

True...there are times were I tell myself my S2000 can do this and I do miss My S2000 once in a while. buckets seats..9k rpm and handling. Its daily driven, sometimes when I get too tired from work I mis shift sometimes or not properly enganging clutch sometimes. plus my area, there's too many cops here that they start to follow my car for no reason waiting for me to make a mistake...And I needed a 4 door and end up choosing between IS250 and TSX....IS250 hands down.

You could have just kept both cars...

Although trying to mod TWO cars is ridiculous. I need to lay off of one of them.

Good choice with the IS250. TSX doesn't drive as nice as the IS250, not to mention all the nice features and standard equipment you get on the IS250 and not with the TSX

Only thing is TSX is FWD which makes it easier for those who need to drive their car in the winter if it snows.
If not, IS250 RWD FTW !!!!
