i burn no oil, i spend 0 time in a shop, i have 0 problems. and i've yet to meet a vw quicker.

i have several friends who are audi and vw mechanics... who will turn their close friends away from purchasing a new audi or vw.

ah wells if u wish to learn the hard way

omg.. please not the "mechanics" joke again... haven't it caught on to you that the mechanic sees the worst of their car company's brand?? I bet if you asks an Acura's mechanic, they would tell you not to buy acura because of all the issues.. well no duh.. they are the one that deal with bad apples every day...

btw... i was just using acura as an example.. and i'm not a vw or audi fan either...

250awd has gd handling n comfy, if ur planning to spend sum money on nice parts.. i strongly recommen rwd versions.. coz many parts only come in rwd version, i tried to find parts fo my car.. but mah choices r very limited..

correct me if im wrong

^Buddy, this isn't MSN. Type normally.

Back on topic, I don't know how any car manufacturer can look themselves in the mirror and honestly ask for premium fuel for an engine that displaces around 200 HP. EG: 2008 TSX. Correct me if i'm wrong, but even the Accord V6 which makes more HP (vs the TSX V4) only requires regular.

edit: I'm right, it's regular unleaded for the Accord V6. http://automobiles.honda.com/images/...-factsheet.pdf

AND to add to the fact that a loaded G37X(non sport) costs only a bit more than the IS250AWD, but alot better when compared to the is250.

i swear lexus is smart in scaming c-lais, just look at the RX350, and then look at the "Ultra Premium Package".

FerrariEnzo 05-12-2010 05:27 AM

you want luxury or fast car?

if your looking for a good AWD car, go with STi or the EVO.... they are both proven AWD cars from their rally heritage...

I'm with this guy, the G37s are way better for the money considering you got a healthy v6 with way more power than the IS250. Its just too bad the IS looks a lot better IMO anyways.

hirevtuner 05-12-2010 08:42 AM

consider a Hyundai Genesis 3.8GT under 40K is good bang for the buck

also i think the AWD system on the infiniti line pwns the lexus AWD system.

my friend has the is250 awd, it will never let you down in the snow

I have a few family friends that owns is250 AWDs. From what I hear it's a very very
good al around car. The most complained about thing is definately the lack in power though
