Anyone own either? Reviews?
Lexus IS-F for the win!
Friend has one. The back seat can barely fit two children comfortably would be my only problem with it.
Aren’t there websites that are dedicated to car consumer reviews?

x2. Unless you have 375,000 to drop on an LFA.
If you can’t afford both…don’t get either!
The only major difference between the two is the engine. The 250 has a 6 cylinder and the 350 has an 8 cylinder. Suprisingly though, the 350 gets just about the same gas mileage as the 250. HP wise, 306 hp for the IS350 and a little over 200 hp for the IS250.
As for the exterior, the only major difference between the two are the size of the wheels. The IS350 has (f) 18 x 8 and (R) 18 x 8.5. Whereas the IS250 has (F) 17 x 8 and (R) also 17 x8.

All 500 of the LF-A’s have already all sold out.
The 350 has more power but the bigger engine is also heavier which negates a lot of that extra HP. Also the extra weight hurts the handling of the car. I dont know the price differences off the top of my head but i dont think the 350 is worth it.
Also, if you’re looking for AWD i’m pretty sure the 250 is the only one with that option.
Saw a commercial with the LFA like 2 days ago…sick!
Neither. I have a 2003 540i that I love. If I won the lottery today i would still drive it tomorrow.
That being said, get the 350. You’ll be happier.
Here is my car.
get the lexus 450… it’s 100 better

Agreed
What would be the vote between the Lexus IS and the Infiniti G35?
my mom has a g35. it’s pretty nasty.
In this kinda range it’d have to be a merc c280 or a BMW 330 coupe

Stupid. Lexus is NOT Toyota with respect to quality, build, interior materials, performance.
If you’re talking pedigree, fine, but then you’re admitting you’re a snob and don’t give a shit about tangible features of the vehicle.
The IS 350 is a V6, not V8.
The difference in torque, HP is substantial, and it will only cost you 3 MPG to go from 250 to 350. I would take the 350, but I also would rather get a NEW 5 series BMW (535) or an Audi A5 (since it doesn’t sound like you can afford the S5).
The older M5 (previous generation) can be found for under 20k at auctions. Get one of those.
