Default I am back to the IS




Hi guys, it's has been about a year and a half since I total loss my 07" IS350, right after I lost my IS350 I pick up the 21" toyota sienna minivan due to I have extra kids come to the family, as the same time during the pandemic crisis it was hard to find car, therefore i goes which ever is available at the time and I was liking the new 22 Honda civic hatchback, i tell you guys that I never like the Honda civic hatchback before until the new redesign 22 hatchback, I was took to that car and bought one, i though I will love that and daily driving that car, after I have that civic I felt like I missing my IS, after owning the civic for seven months and decided to trade in for the IS, and now I am happy to been back with the new 23 IS350 f-sport
here some of my old IS photo and new one and civic I traded in



and the civic that i traded in



and this is my new ride



I have a question hope someone can help me out, while picking up my new car, i checking out the new 23" RX350 f-sport and on the car have the LEXUS door puddle lights spot on the ground, i just wondering can I order that on put on the IS? I want the original factory one not the eBay stuff? Hope that can be direct swap? Thanks

Congrats, great color combo.

What was the Civic lacking that made you want to go back to the IS? The new Civic's really intrigue me

Congrats on the new IS. I have the same color combo. How was the civic in terms of power? Everyone has a new civic here in South Florida. But not sure if I'd ever try it out.

my civic is 1.5t, I think she have enough power to get on the freeway quick enough, it's feel quicker than the new camry four cyclinder engine because the civic is lighter i guess, for some reason the toyota four cylinders engine sound louder than civic 1.5t, for a daily driver commute, i will pick the new civic than Corolla or even the Camry 4 cylinders in term of the power
