I recently bought a 2011 ISF and here's my comparison with my the 370Z touring sport:

Handling/Suspension: ISF
Comfort: ISF
Practicality: ISF
Acceleration: Same
Fun: Z

Overall the cars feel totally different so it's hard to compare. I use the ISF for daily driving, running errands, etc. and the Z for driving around for fun, the ISF handles better than the Z but I feel less connected with the road

REALLY?!?!?! I don't think so... The torque in the ISF feel retarded

If they were cheaper, Id probably give up the 370z for one of them. I think they are sexy/fast/luxurious and I like 4 doors!

idk about buying a car with that many miles on em. Also I can't find any is-fs that have that many miles to begin with. around 50,000 is the max I usually see.

I did an autotrader search the other day and put "ANY DISTANCE"

Thats how i saw some with 80k on them

If Lexus had made the ISF with a 6sp manual, I'd have bought it instead of the Z. I'm a fan of everything about the car other than the auto and the retarded exhaust tips.

Is an understatement... I HAVE an ISF, and I HATE those goddamn things, LOL!!!

Iirc, they're not even attached to the exhaust so you can't get rid of them by going with an aftermarket exhaust.

Yessir, they are on the goddamn bumper... A company, (maybe more than one now) makes a replacement tip set/exhaust but it's still hideous because it's a quad tip dual stack... Such an ugly design

I like the stacked exhaust. *shrug*

I guess I'm the minority.

But I disagree about the acceleration feeling like the Z. The ISF definitely rips off the line quicker than the Z, the torque difference is quite notable.

I like the ISF a lot, I just don't like the dated interior.

Really? You think it's dated? I don't think it's as dated as BMW
(Half a funny story... Back in TX, me and my brother had 3 cars, 370Z, ISF, leased 335i. One day I drove the 335 from Dallas to Houston to see my gf and she said "why are we in this car?" And I asked her why and she said "the inside looks like it's made for old people. It's such an oil plain design and layout" I thought she was a bit crazy at first (I don't really care for BMWs much) but I thought about it and thought, shít, yeah, my aunt's BMW from 2001 looked exactly the same on the inside... Wow, BMW really hasn't changed the interior of their cars in years

This is a good thing for me... I like it because I don't have to clean the exhaust tips LOL

Dude I need to get a 335i then we can be twins XD

I had a 335i Coupe, without iDrive the interior looks dated and awful.

With iDrive it looks fantastic.

The new interiors look great too. My brother has a 2013 M6, it's fantastic.

Lol, I had iDrive, the dash still looked dated. I'll have to sit in a 2013 BMW to see what's up

The splash of black plastics in the center stack definitely wasn't appealing to many...but it was a lot nicer than the boxier and uglier interiors of E49 3-series (nav or no nav), which have aged worse inside.
