Default IS 250/350 F Sport Suspension. Gotta Love it.

I've been having my Lexus IS 250 F Sport 2014 for now 7 days and so far can't say more but I love how the car feels. I took my first real fast curve today and love how the handing of the wheels at top speeds feels. I test drove the 3 Series, ATS, G37 and so far i made the right call with going with the Lexus IS F Sport. It's up there with the BMW but with more style and more techs in the car. LOVE MY LEXUS

Great to hear even the "standard" non-variable F-Sport suspension in the 250 is well-loved!

Have you drive the non-F-Sport 3IS and how does the handling/body roll compare? What about comfort/firmness?

I did drive the IS 250 non F Sport but did not drive it as fast as the F Sport that I just bought so I can't say much on the non F Sport suspension. As for Comfort on driver side of the IS F Sport, It's a little tight as the seat hugs you pretty well on the sides but feels great on fast curves when going at high speeds on the road. If your really tall or on the heavy side it's going to feel a little small on the cockpit and hard to get in and out of the car. Overall the inside comfort of the car is great for a Sedan Sports Car.

Yup handling is much better than BMW but I wish they made it a bit lower in the front.
