^ I did the same thing, a little bigger jump than coming from a IS350! I traded a 2002 Sportcross for my '13 ISF. Loved the Sportcross but have not regretted a second of it. The ISF is an incredible car and a blast to drive!

I hope you find the perfect one for you! It took me a little over a year searching for mine. Found one about 2 hours away, drove up and bought it on the spot. It's one of the greatest purchases I've ever made. You're going to love it.

Go for it! I originally was looking for an IS 350. Test drove one and I was thinking man, in sport mode that thing is really fast. I was going to buy it but I decided to test drive an ISF first. Don't get me wrong, the IS 350 will put many cars to shame, but then there is the ISF. Totally different monster.

Like the guys have said, the oil changes are more expensive, the tires are more expensive and you can't rotate, and the brakes are more expensive.

But just like me, you are on this forum. We love cars, especially the Lexus. So when you buy the ISF, which you will, you will love it! We all do things in life that cost us more money. My fiancé spends $100 on her nails, I choose to spend my $100 on an oil change

I'm also looking for an ISF and reading comments do you guys choose not to do your oil changes and brake changes or does the dealer have to do it? I have a is250 that i had to buy tool to take off filter.

Suspension is upgraded/more comfortable, 12' up have the nicest wheels IMO, the cluster is upgraded, seats have alcantera and an LSD well worth it to get a newer one.

If you find the 350 lacking then look into the ISF...if not then keep what you have...especially if you think the stance scene is cool or a performance sedan needs 20" wheels...
