Money's worth? No I don't think so...even a BMW 325 will hold it's own against an IS300 and for cheaper. Dude be realistic, I don't think i'm being uncivilized in anyway...I'm not insulting people. Just expressing my views on this car. Straight up.

I have driven both...I drove a BMW 325 and was much more impressed by it's smoothness than the IS300. And I don't base my life on stats. However it's Lexus' own fault for not including a manual transmission in their line up. So until the IS300 delivers a manual transmission (or Lexus delivers a real shift box for that matter), as far as I'm concerned, BMW has the edge over Lexus.

Even Mercedes went around their own beliefs and included a manual transmission in their new C240.

EricK YES!!

Black300..I guess it just all depends on driver preference. You see for me when I buy into a luxury car I prefer smoothness..When I buy performance car...smoothness goes out the window and I could care less. For example I prefer 1st generation M3's because the car felt like a racer with a high revving 4 cylinder, where as the newer M3's are MUCH more refined automobiles.

Please don't waste your time you dumb fuc* ..MY PREFERENCE IS A 325. I never asked you what you prefer so if you are bothered by my preference than you can shove your head up your ass. Do you actually stress over what I think on this board? It seems like it.
BMW M3 owners.. sigh
