IS350 & G35 is a tough comparison for me, as a former driver of the IS250, I know the 350 has a lot of luxury, perfomance, reliability & bells and whistles to offer. It has the common criticisms of the IS series to deal with as well. On the other hand, the G does offer more room and comes at a discount to the IS350. I think only the buyer can determine the winner here. I chose the G, but the IS350 could have been my chosen car as well. Cos I have a child and I wanted to spend less as well as need an AWD, I chose the G. To those with the IS350, congrats, thats a great car and comes at a discount to the 335i with almost similar perfomace:)

| The Lexus looks like a great car. However, I went with the G because of the great lease deals currently available. Also discounts available is you are buying. My take is the Lexus is nice but if you can't or won't spend the extra you can get roughly as nice of a car with the G. The G is great, but then again I'm moving up from a Saturn Aura XR so just about any car in this class would probably have impressed me. | |

Replying to: sweendogy (Jul 06, 2008 6:15 pm) The way I look at it, you have 1-335i 2-G/IS350 3- Dont really care I have my problems with the 335i, but you cant argue with its perfomance, thats why its 1st. |

Replying to: sjaieve (Jul 12, 2008 4:31 pm) The 335 with the same options is just WAY too overpriced for what you are geting. It's only a viable option for those who can lease and I do way too many miles for that. The IS doesn't offer a 6-speed in the 350 for those who demand a manual transmission and it also doesn't offer AWD for those who live in changing climate conditions. For that reason, the G is on the top of the list and not a close second. It depends on the individual buyer's needs and priorities.

Replying to: sjaieve (Jul 12, 2008 4:31 pm) What are your problems with the 335? I was looking at one a few days ago and find the price quite high (more than a loaded Lexus GS after discounts), but the performance is awesome !!! |

Replying to: tom17 (Jul 15, 2008 6:42 pm) Exterior (sedan only) - really not the best looking car in the segment, IMO it is probably the worst looking among the IS, G35, CTS, A4 and C-class. Interior - awful looking. Although it has high quality materials but the design just plain sucks. Engine - with roughly the same performance I would always go with NA before FI. I just simply don't like the idea of having unnecessarily extra moving parts inside the engine bay. Yeah sure, BMW has almost eliminated the turbo lag but if one really pays attention, it is still there. Price - Yeah sure it has the best performance but an IS350 with the OEM F-sport springs and sway bars would handle better than a stock sport 335i (granted the Bimmer still has better road feel) and still undercut the price. I know that I am nit picking here but since all cars in this segment are all pretty good choices the difference is really down to nit picking.
