Default 2009 ISF to 2016 RC300

So finally did it, only owned my ISF for 1 year, great car and have no complaints.

Just wanted something new, and couldn't pass on the deal.

I know I will miss the power for sure, however I have 0 complaints after 24 hours with the car, yes it doesn't pull like the IS-F

The updated interior alone is enough reason for me to switch,I have owned some great cars in the past but I think the RC coupe has some of the best lines all around.

The old beast

that engine, in fact that exhaust note alone would make me keep the isf. Nothing special about the rc imo. But congrats nonetheless!

Valid points, however comparing the appearance of the 2 cars side by side I think there is no comparison.

The RC is miles ahead over my 09 as far aesthetics is concerned.

Looks great! I like what Lexus did with the RC and its variants. You might lose the HP, but you'll definitely gain better gas economy. The tech in the newer Lexus vehicles do the job to make sure you're always satisfied in the car. As for the IS F, it is 8 years old, and while it does show its age, it's still pretty decent interior wise. But of course newer cars will always look and feel freshened up with all the goodies car manufacturers add to keep with customers demands presently.

good to see some local Lexus owner on Clublexus, great choice, but I would keep the isf just becuz it's a sedan.
