Been driving a 250AWD loaner
My 350 is in at the dealer, but wow do i miss it. The 2012 IS250 AWD well its just not cutting it at all, besides being pretty dog slow and the gas mileage is worse then my 350RWD (i kno awd eats more but cmon 20mpg) all i can say im just glad im getting into my car today, deff not a fan of this car, i think the g25 is more fun to drive then this. Sorry if i offended any 250's out there.

ya i dunno, just general discussion i guess to my .02 cents ))) but i think if it was not awd and manual id have more of a kick driving it w/ traction control off

Oh yes, the AWD will eat more fuel than the RWD sure, at the low speeds; more moving parts and the engine does have to work harder. When I had the 07 AWD, I gotten below 20 mpg. I personally felt the steering feel is a bit draggy due to the nature of AWD.
With my RWD, not really, typically at the low 20s+ and it's got the freedom!. Felt steering sporty feel going to RWD.

I pay around 2200 a year for my IS350 in NJ but i dont have the cleanest record )) the IS250 was quoted around 2000. But this for 100/300 coverage with 500 dollar deductible on everything except comprehensive is 100.
