What do you like and dislike about the IS250/350?????
Just want to see what ppl think of the new IS250/IS350. Please post your likes and dislikes. I will go first:
Likes:
Horsepower in the IS350
Nice interior finish (Leather is the nicest one I have seen and feel)
Smooth Ride and excellent handling
13 speaker system sounds great
Start button
Smart Key
Dislikes
Options is too expensive
IS250 priced too high and hp is too low
Rear Blind Spots
Cheap Paddle (Gear Paddle)
The steering feels a bit too light (Cannot feel the road and the car)
The rear of the IS looks a bit like a corrolla
Car does not feel as solid as our competitor BMW 3 series/Acura TL/MB C class etc..
Rear leg room is too tight
HID and Sunroof should be a standard for the IS350.
Dam....no discount yet!!!!! Will have to wait 3-6months.

Likes: Power in the 350 is great
Nice interior features
handling seems to be okay also
Dislikes: Looks too much like my 06GS
Not as aggressive looking as my current IS
Back seat room still seems to be tight
No manual 6spd on the 350
Price has gone up

Pro:
fast, smooth acceleration
much larger interior than previous generation
amazingly soft leather seats
aggressive body lines
true key fob-push engine start
great looking gauges with the blinking shift light
slightly cheaper then BMW
Cons:
HID not std on IS350
engine and muffler too quiet, almost eerie
too easy to turn the steering wheel, bad feedback of the rd
no leg room for the middle passenger in the rear
in auto-manual model, from a stand-still, the default gear doesn't start in 1st.
