The car i would like next is an upgrade of my current car.

I would like a 2012 Lancer EVO MR.

[QUICK EVO]

2 weeks ago, I finally got my dream car, the 2012 Lexus ISF.

Prior to this, I've had a 2008 Evo X MR. The Lexus has the power and performance, with the luxury and comfort that the Evo never had. It was a lot more expensive but I got a great deal from Lexus of Brisbane. The Evo X was probably faster in the corners as the ISF loves to go sideways. A quick stab of the throttle mid-corner and it will break traction, 311kW and 505Nm will do that! It's really fun though, as much as it will lose traction, it never really feels like it will spin and the traction control does a good job of letting you go a bit sideways but catching it before it gets too crazy. And that V8 exhaust note is really addictive.

wow very nice upgrade

2012 Lexus ISF

Purty
Keeping in mind all I know about it is from top gear, what made you choose that over a BMW M3?

[Seffy]

That ISF is just ..pure sexy. Congrats on the purchase!

If I had a dollar every time someone asked me that question, I could probably buy another ISF I actually have a list of reasons that I have prepared, I just keep them with me whenever I am asked.

I did cross-shop the M3 and managed to get a test drive after promising BMW one of my kidneys and naming rights to my first born.

The M3 is more engaging at 9/10s, but the following reasons made me go towards the ISF:

1. The ISF is a good $30k cheaper. If you option the M3 up, it can get even dearer.

2. After 2010, Lexus finally added a proper limited slip differential to the ISF. Since then, the car has undergone 2 more suspension tweaks. The 2012 ISF was actually tested to be as fast around the Virginia International Raceway as the M3. The 2012 ISF was 7 seconds faster than the 2008 ISF, simply just by adding a LSD and suspension tweaks!

3. Lexus' reliability. I've heard both good and bad things about the M3, it's probably not an issue but the Lexus is by and large bulletproof. After driving the car for two weeks, it feels like the whole car is made from a single billet of steel, there are zero creaks/rattles and the interior is quite nice. The interior is ageing, but it does the job well.

4. Customer service. BMW treated me OK, but Lexus was just better. They drove me to/from my house/work in a IS250 when they needed me to sign stuff, they were always courteous and professional. You get use of their boardroom/gym/blah blah. They were able to work out a really good deal for me.

5. The exhaust note of the ISF above 3500rpm really must be experienced in person, it's very addictive.

6. The ISF is very rare and has a degree of exclusitivity about it. It's really fun to pull up next to another car who thinks you're just another old man in a Lexus, then smoke them with 0-100km/h in 4.5 seconds.

7. The M3 is quite hardcore, it's probably the better race car but the ISF is easier to live with.

8. I actually prefer the styling of the ISF to the M3.

nice reasoning man. and a bloody awesome car to go with it!! enjoy it and look after it! keep her away from the shopping centers!!!

[ijustatecurry]

Nice mate!! My old man had an IS-F (just swapped it for an S5), and i understand exactly what you mean with the exhaust - nice burbly rumble below 3500rpm, then it just opens up and sounds like the AMG V8's. Beautiful sound!

[Corzza2]

Very nice indeed!

Ok fellas C63 extended test is booked in.
