Finally an IS Owner
Welp, after lurking this forum for 1-2 years, we are finally an IS household. My wife's Acura TL was totaled out over the weekend when someone ran into her. So, we had the choice of either getting her a beater until we find exactly what she wants for her next long-term car or just trying to find her next long-term car now. Thankfully, back in 2019, we test drove Infinity Q50s, Acuras, etc. But her favorite was this 2019 IS 350 F Sport 8-speed RWD.
Fast forward to Tuesday evening, I knew finding an IS 350 is a PITA, especially locally, but just for grins, I decided to check my local dealership where we test drove the one back in 2019. Low and behold, they had one... identical to the one she test drove back in 2019, except this one was a 2020.
2020 IS 350 F Sport 8-speed RWD
And it only had 4,300 miles on it. The Sales Manager leased it, hardly drove it, and traded it in on a 2021. Since it had been on the lot for 30 days, they dropped the price on it and we made the deal. To our surprise, it was nicely presented when we went to pick it up yesterday evening.
Beautiful car. We both love it. I also like that it matches my Jeep. White on the exterior, black trim, and instead of the dash being red, like my Rubicon, it has the red seats/door panels. The first thing we'll do to it is tint. Actually, that will likely be the only thing we do to it any time soon since it's her car.
Anyway, thank you everyone here for answering my questions about these cars. This has been a helpful resource.
Cliffs: We bought a 2020 IS 350 F Sport.

Congrats! It's awesome you got a lightly-used one like that. And can't go wrong with Ultra White.

Looks nice. wrap the mirrors in high quality gloss black (including bases) and call it a day.
ok maybe spacers...
and f sport springs.
but that's it!

Congrats - I had a 2017 just like yours (mine was AWD though) but same color combo and loved it!!! It is a great car and I am happy to be back into an IS again for 2021 after my RC - I didn't realize how much I missed a 4 door vehicle until I got back into it.
