I think the ISF is fantastic - I even day dream about it.
But in the end I'm VERY happy with my IS350. And due to practicality (cost and weather) where I live AWD was a must (didn't want to deal with swapping out for winter tires).
There's always that one car that's better than what you already have, not sure what it is if you own an ISF but there's got to be something. The cost difference though between the ISF and the 350 makes me want to at least toy with the idea of an M3 (yeah, I said it).

350 and ISF are not even in the same class. In first gear my BRZ can keep up with my ISF. If you are satisfied with the 350's power then definitely stay with it, but the ISF in all aspects is a better car.

BRZ keeping up with an IS-F...that has to be a joke. The only way the BRZ could keep up with the ISF or a 350, in any gear, would be if the IS-F/350 was having issues gaining traction, which would make sense as both have tons of power down low. The BRZ can't even keep up with the current 2013 Accord V6 with the automatic, let alone the manual, or the last generation Toyota Camry V6. I respect the BRZ for what it is, a fun car to throw around, additionally, it looks great (a first for anything that has an association with Subaru), but it is not a fast car, not even close.

Agree. In straight line, BRZ is no way compared to ISF in any gear. If it is STI or Evo with mods, that is more believable. BRZ no, no, no.
