Picked up a new(to me) ride!

[exdeath]

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.

Automatic with flappy paddles != true dual clutch computer shifted manual gear box.

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

I was speaking in terms of normal regular tires. Mainly because most rwd Lexus I've been in have a power/ snow button. I'm sure its just like Makes it start in 2nd gear and makes the throttle less sensative. Snow tires are should always be mounted but the average Lexus owner doesn't if they have rwd /fwd/ awd to care.

Why does Toyota build a sport sedan with no manual option?

This is my plan.

congrats on the new! i've always liked IS's. good package all around! :thumbsup:

Yep. My gf has the IS250 with the paddles. It's definitely nothing like a real manual.

That is because it is a slush box...just a slush box with manual inputs.
