Default Sell the rx for an is?

Guys have an sc400 and an rx330, wife says when we put the sc away for the winter she will miss it and the suv doesn't thrill her anymore.. Will the IS be a good car or should we hang onto the rx? I have not had an opportunity to drive one. Is there a preferred year?

The Is300 is an awesome car but if you need its not that great in the snow without good snow tires so ill stick with the exception if your looking for something more practical

if you guys want more thrill, I say check out an IS350, not unless you get a boosted IS. It is a nimble car stock, and you'll more or less the same mpg as the rx and you might also miss the roominess in the rx. honestly it all depends what you'll use it for

I wish I could afford an ISF!! I have a 4 door truck to take care of room and weather issues, this may be the wrong forum for this question but what about a gs400?

I think possibly a trip to Hawaii and some Viagra might give her the thrill she seeks, but I'm in love with my IS300 in summer and winter, I say go for it, but make it manual! Nothing like throwing out dollar bills while you drift your 4 door in winter.

The IS is a great car-but you will need some snow tires if you plan on driving it in the winter. It will help tremendously.
