Short ownership review of my ISF
Well it's been over a month since I had bought my 08 ISF and I want to say that the 10 year wait and busting my butt off was well worth it. The car does everything fantastically and never fails to make my day. Driving it just brings a smile to my face even after a long day/week at work. I can call it my therapist since it makes me forget about my problems right away. Lexus did a fantastic job on the ISF and want to thank them for that. To anyone who is reading this and is looking to get feedback of the F, you really should go drive one and buy it to see what I am talking about. I am really lucky that it came with mods and was a taken care of car since it's hard to find those 2 combinations when buying one. So glad I didn't end up with an E92 M3 like I originally intended to since that was my other option.

It's always great to hear how owners are still loving this car years after it's been off the market. While trying to remain unbiased, it really is a great all around car with a dual feeling for both the cruiser and speed demon within.

I am going back and forth about getting rid of my 2014 IS350 F-sport for my dream car a 2011+ IS-F. The only issue i have with the IS-F is going back to a touchscreen NAV and the old 2IS interior. My first lexus was a 2006 IS250 so i know the interior quite well. Looking forward on your impression.
Thank you

I've had 7 cars in the past 10 years, never would I've thought a lexus would be my fav but its the first one and my fav car so far. Owned it for 1 year could probably own for the next 10 years because of the low mileage I put on LOL

I am curious on your impressions of downgrading from the 2015 interior redesign to the 2IS IS-F interior. Do you miss the 2015 interior over the current IS-F interior?

The Isf is inferior in every way to an m3 except displacement. U made the wrong decision my friend. I have owned both and presently own the m3. Honestly I have had two isf's and two m3's so I know from experience. Both of the isf's I have had anytime I went above 120 it felt like the car wasn't stable. Now in the m3 I have done 150+ and have felt way more in control and safe. Besides the fact a manual m3 is just wayyyyy more fun to drive. I was really disappointed at the feel of the Isf at high speeds! Sexy as fuc* car though! Not gonna lie prob had more people complement me on the Isf vs the m though but I could careless. But to say your glad u got the F over the m with no real evidence to back up your decision is disappointing.
