I would've gotten the 350 if I didn't have to wait 3 months for a custom order. I needed a car asap, otherwise i would've picked up another car but, I really didn't want another car. Bmw's have power but lacks luxury. audi's have nice interior's but get expensive and the exterior isn't really all that(dude if my mom likes it, then it's too old for me). Mercedes is way down low on my list. Nissans and Infiniti's don't have the budget to keep up with toyota on initial build quality and luxury. same with honda. My insurance was high at the time of purchase so I couldn't really go with a faster car. Plus there's the fact that there are a lot more 250's on the road and people want parts to customize/make power so yea. those are the reasons I got the 250 and want power upgrades. I don't like leaving anything stock because there's always room for improvement and customization. Call it the "Me" factor.

- Edit

I had fun burning up the backroads up in the mountains the other day. I don't speed on highways and don't need all the extra power for merging. that's more timing than all out powering.

I hate people that say why didn't you get a 350, Why didn't you get a 350.
Go to hell with your 350
Not everyone can buy the top of the line car off the lot. There are so many reasons why 250 owners buy a 250. Power is not always the primary factor when buying a car. That doesn't mean we don't deserve the right to try and pump out a few more horses with mods.
Anyways this is for another thread.

Enjoy your 250. I love mine.
Feel the same.
"why didn't I get a 350"?....BEACAUSE THE 350 DOESN'T COME WHITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Automatic transmission and FWD sucks!

The is350 doesn't come in FWD. Only RWD and AWD. This thread is pretty old.
