Default is250 vs is300

Has anyone owned both give me a run down on how the car feels
I used to have a is250 and now considering going with a is300
I always liked the is300 seems smaller and more nimble to me, but is it really?

Which is funner to drive in stock form?

Stock? IS300 > IS250. Feels like a sports car in comparison.
Ride? IS300 < IS250. Dated and less comfort.
Modified? IS300 > IS250. More options in terms of power.

The 250 is nice but I enjoyed my IS300 way more (I had a couple goodies on it). The 250 and 350 are night and day though. I ended up with a 350.

Frankly its personal preferenace. If you want to tinker with the car I'd say get a 300. If you want an update go for the 250.
