I'd get an IS-F. I'm actually looking for one.

I'd still keep my IS250 though for the wife.

I would get the is350 f sport. I, too, was debating on buying an is F vs 14' is350 about two years ago. Glad i pulled the trigger on the is350 f sport. I like the advanced technology and the updated interior design way better than the is F but thats my preference.

Interior wise the current gen is350 is more refine and luxurious as well as packed with technology. Exterior wise, IMO, you can't go wrong with either.


If you could find a newer IS-F say 2012-2014 for a good deal, go for it! I think it may be the same price as a brand new is350 fsport tho. Roughly ~45K?

IS-F but 2011-2014 those are rare and V8 sound great.

IS F all day. I have a 2014 IS350 and some days I still wonder if I made the right choice. I think i'd pick up the IS F if I could go back and make the decision again. Reason I went with IS350 is i'm in Toronto and wanted the AWD for the winters and was too lazy to go buy a beater car for the winter.

I looked at the IS-F for a while before getting my IS350-F back in 2014. If you want power, the IS-F, but you'll be a bit behind in the technology. Yes you have like 100 less HP, but you get more techno goodies in the 2014+ IS.

i would consider getting a later model IS-F with suspension revisions that seem to have fixed all of the things people initialled complained about with the IS-F.

2012+ ISF. With 2IS Lexus was pushing 250s and all grandmas are driving them, 350s were left for car enthusiasts, and F-Sports were rare breed. With 3IS Lexus is pushing 350s and F-Sport packages to everyone, I see more elders driving them then any younger people. I test drove 2014 IS350 F Sport, nice car and cheaper then ISF, but I didnt really like it.....maybe because it didnt feel special

If you care more about the interior, get the 350. If you care more about power, get the ISF.
