Have you noticed MPG on the IS-F significantly worse than your old IS350?
yeah i know and pain my butt whenever i pump gas on it but that IS-F will be my weekend car or driving when i'm off from work i have old car for my daily drive so i think i will be OK for now and keep in mind that ISF will be rare when it getting older and older compare to the regular IS or even F-Sport models

True, the only reason is that 2014 would hold a better value over the next years since is the last generation.

That one's a no-brainer to me: Used ISF > New IS350 F-sport... All day, EVERY day!

Congrats on the F! A lot of members pair the Joe Z/ PTS exhaust with the Joe Z intake. This has proven to add a good deal of horsepower for just a bolt on. Throw on some Sikky or PPE headers, and it sounds even greater and adds even more hp. The only downside to Joe Z/PTS (if one can consider it to be) is that it's catless. If I'm not mistaken, Borla is the only afternarket one that's available with the cat back. Some like it, while others don't. But I've never heard of a bad comment regarding Joe Z from the top notch craftsmanship to the intoxicating sound produced.

The IS F is pretty rare, and it's still a treat to see one on the road every now and again...and even better to hear them open up that second intake.
