Default 90 days till 350 purchase

Okay, my wife has had her GS350 for almost 2 years now. I actually like driving it when it's actually available. I've been looking at the IS350 for a while but we're in the process of putting our home on the market so I can't tie-up finances. I'm selling my Acura CL-S and upgrading to the 4-door. Anyone have any regrets about their purchase?

Not many people regret the IS350 from what I know...

The IS250 seem to have more issues which is more related to the carbon build-up issues and lack of power.

No regrets at all. The IS350 has been a phenomenal luxury sport sedan. The day I sell my IS350 I'll be doing so simply to move onto something new and different (and this is going to be many many years down the road for me). I'll almost certainly stay within the Mercedes/Lexus/BMW/Audi family with the nod going to Mercedes/BMW/Audi simply for the purposes of changing things up. I don't like staying with one brand, but that's just me.

It is a great car as most would agree on here. There are a few recall issues, but overall a great quick car!

No regret. What you pay what you get. Is350 is a great car but after you drive it like 2 years you really want something more aggressive. This sedan drives good but too me without upgrading it = no fun. I have a lux pkg and I am regret I did get the sport pkg. Well I guess human being are greedy want more.
