Answering the OP's question, possibly.

I'd check out the RC 350 F-Sport in Ultra White/Rioja Red (gorgeous in this combo) first and if that would not pan out, I'd get a 350 F-Sport RWD this time around, probably USB again.

i would definitely, buy it again!

because comparing 3IS to :
BMW (which i think looks dated and the interior is probably the worst I've seen),
Audi (its just toooo boring and drives poor)
2015 C class (which i think looks sedate for my age, but the interior is pretty awesome).

yes, the 3IS has slow motion navigation, but i rarely use it.
the ride quality is amazing sitting on 18 inchers, it handles, its quiet, it handles

I think he's referring to the dash coating fading and whatnot? If that's the case, it's the last thing that would make me consider another car. The most serious issue, to me, is the car becoming dull. Once that sets in, I start lusting after a new car. But this car has something about it. Take each thing and separate it only to find out they aren't at all special by themselves, but when put together, it's a solid and fun package. Coupled with some fun mods (wheels, coilovers, exhaust, intake, some exterior bits, etc) and it'll really come alive. This car still manages to impress me often. That's how I know it's a good choice. Not sure if i'd want to buy it out after the lease ends, but If I already were financing it, I'd be pretty content with it. My previous car stopped being impressive (335i) within 5 months and I just wanted to get rid of it for something new. The IS was it. On the other hand, the GS is a nice car, i've been eyeing them myself at the dealership every time I go there, but merely just for the exterior (fsport only). But I have to disagree on the quality differences. I've sat in a GS many times and there isn't a thing about it on the inside and out that's better quality, looks wise and to the touch. Same materials, maybe just more leather; same steering wheel quality, doors, seats, and so on. The new IS interior is as fresh as they get design-wise, the GS interior is classy but just too uninspired - a straight dash without any eye candy - way too mature/old for me. But if it's one of those things that just keeps on playing with your head, then you should probably trade yours for it. If you regret your decision a few years later, get another IS. But I don't think you will. GS is solid. The rear is straight up gorgeous, much better looking than the IS. Everything else is just as nice. If I had a family, a GS would be my pick for sure over the IS.

Yep, I would. I test drove pretty much all the competition the other day just to have some fun and the only car I really liked other than mine is the s4(power and handling are awesome)and thats an extra 10k. I still think the IS is more to my liking in terms of the full package though. My roommate has the gs f-sport and the car is fantastic. It definitely is bigger however leg room in the back really isn't all that much more. It feels more spacious inside though and not so crammed, however I think they kind of designed the IS that way for a reason…like a drivers car, almost like a cockpit and more involving. However the dash layout/screen of the GS is awesome and if I wanted a little bigger of a car, that would for sure be my choice. I wish the IS got the screen like the GS, then it would be an easy no brainer

To answer the op's question, never in the first year of a new model. And, if Lexus corporate continues to neglect customers (like me) who have tried living with their crappy nav/radio for half a year without so much as an acknowledgment, I'll never buy another Lexus product again.

Interior may be too closely similar to what the OP has now though

currently have a white on black interior 250 f sport, and YES i would get the 3is again anytime anyday over any other car, but with the red interior if i were given the chance again.

s4awd

Yep. It ticks all the right boxes but it won't be my only car.

SexyElaine

Absolutely It's been nothing but reliable with only a couple of oil changes needed and gas , the kick *** instruments that every passenger has drooled over and of course the sexxxy *** lines that often turns heads

Like I mentioned on another thread that I rarely ever see a 3IS not to mention a F Sport so even with the 3IS being out since last summer it's still a sight to behold IMHO

Renaeis250

I would but next time would purchase the 350. The 350 has a little bit more power.

IS350S2K

This is my first Lexus and won't be my last. If I had not bought the car, I would be waiting for the RC-F. I will trade my IS for the RC-F mid-cycle refresh.
