Youve got to be really throwing your car around to be doing any kind of sliding in a 250, and not in a fun way, but a violent thrash to get it to slide at all.
Not necessarily violent. It's transferring the weight to the front, causing understeer and then foot to the floor with a locked wheel. You could manage if tires are cold.
I've said quite a few times that I find the IS 250 more fun and engaging b/c you have to work harder with the engine. Makes for fun shifting. The IS 350 and clearly IS F have so much power that you have to really get them to illegal speeds to have fun. With the IS 250 you can have fun at any speed.
That's if you have manual. You see I wasn't blessed with a manual transmission .
when i first bought my IS250 I was disappointed bec of the speed but everything else was a 9.9/10...however after a month and mods started ooo man the fun began...lowered, intake(greedy), exhaust(greedy), things that make you feel faster because that's all they do bec hp gain in very minimal...under 20hp gain.....I give it a month or two then you give us your new review...
When your lease is up, get yourself a 2014 IS350 or whatever it will end up being. You'll have a grin on a dail basis; I know I do in my 350 now.
Thats what i thought but the price difference from the is250 F-sport to the IS350 F-sport is almost $7,000. For that price increase i can grab myself a 135i M-Sport.
