Picked up a new(to me) ride!

[nick1985]

Got a 2007 Lexus IS 350 Sport

I traded in my Mazda 6 for it. It handles quite a bit differently :awe:

Nice. 3 pedals?

Nice car OP! :thumbsup:

Nice car, it's got a good amount of guts for what it is, and it compares well to the 335i auto (stock).

RWD > FWD

Nice pickup. I always wondered how rwd lexuses drove in the IL winters as I've looked into trading the g35 for a gs350

Sent from my Nexus One

lol.

The "Sport" version that I have has little pedals on the wheel that I can use to shift manually if I put it in that mode. Its actually lots of fun :thumbsup:

That is a slick ride! Beats the crap out of my 2001 Grand Prix.

What's the shift delay like? I remember driving a C6 with the paddle shifters and it wasn't half bad once I got used to the lag.

I have only messed with them for a few minutes so far, but it's not that bad from what I can tell.

His wife, not having the need for speed, bought the 2.5L version

Nice ride those things are pretty quick and have some nice interiors. Any plans for suspension mods?

We tried the paddle shifters in a G37 and found them more gimmicky than useful, luckily my wife prefers manuals.

I'm sure with snow tires it would be fine. My BMW 330i is a great winter car with Blizzaks.

chick car

Might as well just leave it in D. Trust me, they shift about as fast as the slush box does. I don't think it's any better in the IS350.

Props on the 350 and not the IS 100 or whatever the lowbie model is :awe:

I see far too many of the lower end "I just want a Lexus" models around here.
