Yeah. I miss my 2003 Audi A4 which someone totalled while I was at a stop sign. Pinned me againts the curb and squeezed the chasis like a vise. I had just started paying it off too and was going to go for the gold with eventually having no car payments and a nice car all in one. Was a gem at only 35k miles. I like the IS250, but I wouldn't have gotten it if it weren't for that fatefull raining morning. It's funny how things turn out. It's also funny how most off-topic posts get a good response. People seem to want to chat and be friendly.

Umm well I miss the gas mileage I had with my accord and I kinda miss that in the accord I was so comfortable. Didnt really cared if I dirtied it up cause it was black cloth. Now with my IS350 I have to watch every where I step cause I have beige interior and I have to sit down and get out carefully because I dont wanna crease the seats. Also conditioning leather is a pain in the a$$. I love my 350 tho

Really? What crossover SUV did you have?

I enjoyed the RX because I took it with a few friends to Yosemite a couple of times and it was great. Much better then driving up there with a coupe or sedan.

So maybe it wasn't "fun" to drive, but "enjoyable" to drive...
