Default New IS2 Fsport owner (moving from Prius)

Well decided to bite the bullet and sign the dead sentence for the IS250 F-Sport last night after going back and forth between the IS2 and the CT hybrid. Trade in my trusty workhorse 2010 Prius and apply for a 1.9% financial plan for this little beast hahaha

I only have it for one day but so far I got to say, the ride is pretty comfortable on my new IS2 however Im missing the great gas mileage of my Prius. I guess it is just the sentimental feeling of letting go of my trusty friend prius and im not completely over that yet

Anyway, I guess im part of this club now, so just want to say hi

What you lose in fuel efficiency you make up in sportiness, sexiness, and overall fun

Any regrets so far moving to a slower car? J/K! Congrats, you'll enjoy it! I've seen it posted here before and can personally attest that the mileage actually does improve after a couple thousand miles.

I came from a CT200h to a 3IS, loving it every moment! I'll be honest coming from a hybrid, gas mileage was 1 thing I watched very closely at first too. I'v just hit 4500km and I can see the gas mileage significantly improved since my first few tanks! the car overall makes up for everything; welcome to the club! 😊

Have you test drove the IS350 F Sport? You are yet to experience the real IS Fun to Drive. I've owned the 2nd and 3rd gen IS250 and decided to trade in the brand new IS250 for a brand new IS350 F Sport. Unfortunately, you probably haven't heard the news that a new IS200T turbo is going to replace the IS250 in 2016. IS250 is a goner! But welcome to the club anyway and enjoy your new IS250

Also, the Prius is probably only half a second to a second slower than the IS250 when the Prius is in Power mode. Maybe 1.5 seconds to the max.
