Turbos increase efficiency. If you aren't driving the nuts off it you should see an increase in MPG.

IS350 maybe, but there are very few available at his price that have a clean Carfax. But Mike better be under 5'10" because the IS is made for short people. And as I said in a previous post, the 335 starts at around $25K and goes up from there.

I am 5' 6" (barely) and felt the IS is too cramped. The 350 friggin went fast thought. I almost bought one on the spot for that speed. But they're effeminate, and I couldn't deal with an interior that is so hard to use.

But they go fast.

If you are looking for reasons to justify this purchase, make sure you drive one before you continue to debate. I had my heart set on an IS until I realized how rediculously complicated the interior was.

Buy one and never look back. For the money, its a great car. The only other car I'd even consider in the price range is the Acura TL, great car, not as much fun to drive, better interior.
