    Which car will you guys buy?

    A friend of mine is having trouble deciding which car to buy. She really likes the exterior of the bmw and the interior of the new IS. She's thought about the Evo MR, but I told her that I don't think it's worth that much besides the speed and performance.

    Just wanted to see what you guys think about these two cars...

    I test drove the IS350, and I am actually considering selling my car to get it. It's really a great car... it exceeded my expectations in handling and power.

    As for the bmw 3 series, I test drove that as well. I have to admit that it is slightly better than the IS350, but in terms of maintenance and repairs, if you plan on keeping the car in the long run, it'd probably be cheaper to maintain the IS350.

    Interior and exterior i love the IS.

    Only the exterior looks good on the BMW. I've always found their interiors to be lacking a bit.

    Well I've not driven either of them but in England BMW's are getting rather common now days where as the Lexus would be more unique I guess.

    But my dad has a BMW and maintanance is not particular cheap, though I'm not sure if the Lexus would be THAT much cheaper.

    Personally I'm not too keeon the looks of the latest 3 series, inside and out of it.
