Default Have an IS250/luxury as a loaner

My 4GS is in to have the 25k done and to fix a console rattle, and I have a '14 IS250 with the navigation package as a loaner. I've test driven the new US a couple times, but you get much more of an idea about the car when you spend time with it during your day to day.

So far I really like it! Silver with grey nuluxe, luxury package with 18s, heated/cooled seats, nav. I like how the nav has traffic on main surface roads, mine is just highways on the GS. Just the right size for 1 or 2 people, very nimble and sporty feeling (obviously moreso with the 350).

Looking forward to driving it more tonight and tomorrow. Looking forward to trying out the LED headlights.

glad you are enjoying the new IS, although if the car is equipped with nuluxe then it doesn't have the luxury package - at least if you're in north america or europe.

Yeah it's the nav package, not the luxury package

I really like it...I kinda want one.

Good feedback. How do you find the 2.5L v6?

The 2.5's not bad. Smooth and peppy, I wouldn't call it "powerful"...I'd opt for the 350 if I bought one.

Drove it last night, gotta say I'm not a huge fan of the LED lights vs HID. They don't seem quite as bright or intense...

Haha, the GS is a great car too, I love mine. The IS is too small for me unfortunately but its a lot of fun.
