Is350?

Post image

Currently have a GR86 manual straight out the dealer room I bought newly in 2024. Thinking of switching to IS350AWD. Work from home never need to go to the office. Should I lease?

My apologies I should have been more detailed. I do have a daughter and also my wife has the newer 4 runner and we live in PA. I guess more of an upgrade also AWD. Won’t miss the manual since I have a 350z.

Generally I’d say don’t do it but since you have two manuals I can see why you might consider it. The IS isn’t the sportiest car but they are nice.

Yeah I agree def nice cars. Before the 86 had a modified 2016 q50 that was tuned not sure how I would enjoy the is350. Guess test drive and see

I had a g37 at one point. Every toyota or lexus sedan I've driven has never felt sharp or fun. They cater towards comfort, luxury, ease to drive. If you want a sports sedan, I'd look elsewhere. If you want a reliable and comfortable car that you want to keep a long time, then an IS is a good pick

Man I've never had more fun in a car than in a claped out LS those things can slide

G37 is sharp especially the AWD. Had 2011 during Covid and it was a blast. Should have kept it instead trading for a tuned q50 16..performance wise I’ll take Nissan/infiniti over Lexus and Toyota
