Had an IS350
Beast of a car 308HP, fast, smooth, quiet.

Much more refined than the early Lexus IS300
I know a lot of guys track the IS300 and seems to be a fun easy car to work on.

I've had the pleasure of driving a pretty crazy somewhat tracked out IS350 F Sport. That V6 is a beast and an absolute blast to drive. I actually was very impressed how it adapts to your driving habits. It knows when you want to beat on it or when you want to just cruise around town. The 8 speed is also very smooth and responsive. I'm a huge fan of Lexus and eventually want to buy a used '08 ISF! I'm a sucker for a V8. Here is the IS350 I drove. I have a review video I did on it if you want to see it in action, can just shoot me a PM for the video link.
