Test drove a bunch of cars and ended up with....

mimsterzx7r · 07-02-2009, 05:02 AM

Sometimes I trade cars with my buds, one has an IS350 another a 335i. Both fine cars, I personally like the interior of both cars, and its kinda cool having friends that are into cars and being able to drive them when I feel like it.

To each their own though, cause we were all in market at the same time and we each bought different cars: M Roadster, 335 and IS350. Just a matter of personal preference.

My friend's IS was has the sport suspension and I must say I was pretty impressed for a Lexus, not up there with the M, but up there. As for the interior I was alway partial to Japanese interiors, I used to love the interior of my 97 Supra (man I miss that car).

We used to race all the time when we were stock, I would edge out the 335, and the IS350 would come in last, but not by much, these cars are pretty fast. Myself and the dude with the 335i are pretty good drivers, but the guy with the IS350 is a newb. Not much for him to do since he has a slush box. Now that the 335 is chipped though he pretty much smokes us all. If we were on a track different story.. Need to sign up for some local track events. Curious to see how each car would fare then.

i'm surprised you didn't buy the fx35. IMO for the lady, the fx35 is the most practical, comfy, nicest interior, good looking truck.

I'm in the same market looking for a car for my wife and I can't see the advantage of any of these car you listed over the fx.

Why? that is your opinion. doesn't mean it will fit the op. What is wrong with a women driving a 330 HP car?

and the point was my original post neither said anything wrong with girl driving a 330hp car nor the is350 didn't fit him . your respond came out of no where and has nothing to do with with what my original post said.
