Hey guys! I just recently was able to buy my dream car to replace my 250, but i miss my lexus so much...
So i had always dreamed of an e92 m3 and that day had finally come around; too bad i was too blind to realize that 11-14 mpg is really really killer on my wallet....

I really wanted to get an is250awd again, but with the e92, i dont think i can afford both of them... so after some thinking and number crunching, it IS within my budget to get either a bike or an is300. My main question is, how does the is300 compare to the is250 in terms of handling and overall feel of the car?

My other alternative would be to trade in my car for an isf for the better mileage, but id really rather not. thoughts?

actually i know for a fact i cant go back to a 250 and be happy. I actually bought the e92 before i had sold my is250 so for a while i had both vehicles. After i first bought the new car, i left my 250 in my garage untouched for about a week-10 days.... and once i got into the 250 for a drive.... i couldnt believe how underpowered the car was; to the point that i didnt drive it again until i sold it not too long after

most of the ISF guys are reporting 20 mpg. The IS-F is pretty frugal on gas.

OP, I think you should trade up to an ISF. I've only ridden in an is300 as a passenger; It feels like it would handle better than an is250 but it definitely felt dated inside.
