I just wanted to know from the people who drive their IS350 during the winter months, if the car handles good or not, seeing that it is RWD. I'm from Canada [Toronto] and we often get a lot of snow down here, so i just wanted to know. I'm considering buying this car, but I have other options in mind, including the IS-F.

These are my other choices. Let me know what I should do

Thx

 

If I could get rid of my 350 I would definitely go with the 335. Steering feel and response from the 335 is phenominal, the IS350 steering is very numb. Power wise stock for stock they are close, but once you mod a 335 which is very easy to do, the 335 walks away. Seeing as you are starting you have to decide how capable you are learning on a rwd car means you never have to bother with fwd ever. with our winters whatever car you drive it is wise to get a very good set of snow tires and then a set of strictly summer performance tires.

 

I got my car in may and I dont think I'll have any problems this comming winter.

 

Ha, I'm jelous.

I've taken my 350 with sport pkg and 18" wheels thru one Michigan winter so far and about to go onto my second. I had zero problems last winter, but I was using Dunlop Winter Sport tires. With a set of dedicated winter tires I never worried about going out, of course if there is more than 3" of snow or sheets of ice then that could be a problem. Only once did I have to shovel my driveway to get out, but there was about 3-4 inches of snow on the ground at the time.
