Great vids man! I watched your other video series on the buyers guide and ownership experience, and I can honestly say that they helped me finally pull the trigger in purchasing my ISF. The timing worked out perfectly actually, as I think I randomly stumbled upon your videos the very same day they were posted and a week later I brought home my F.

Great video! I'd have trouble thinking of three things about the car. I know not every car is perfect but some of these luxury sedans come pretty damn close as being the perfect car

If you compare ours to 3IS, you will see that they have more than plenty head room but their stock seat position is much lower than ours.

I've referred my friends who are looking into an IS F to this specific video because I want them to see the real deal. No cars are perfect, but I will say this- to this day, I don't see much in the new car market to choose over the IS F for its practicality and duality of regular commute and track experience. Some things that will always irk me about my F (MY2008) are as follows:
-navigation surround; the ugly grey color was changed to a nice piano black in MY2009, but to swap would not do anything since there were no additional features between the two years
-central cup holder in the center console; it's too small, gets in the way of changing from park to drive (and vice versa) with a water bottle in place
-heated instead of cooled seats; leather and heat don't go well together, and heated seats in CA (for the most part) are useless
-weight; I can have my cake and eat it, too....to a degree. Luxury components weight a good amount and finding performance outlets to maximize the car's potential is an ongoing debate of how much can the car be stripped to maintain its luxury feel but keep progressing on a performance level
The pursuit of perfection continues, but to this day, and many IS F owners can agree, this is a fine example from Japan.

If you think our gas tank is small, you should see the one in the E90 M3, I think its a 55L tank. Given the amount of hwy cruising I do, fuel capacity has never been as issue for me.
