Hi all, greetings from Germany.
I might be after a IS-F, having a test drive in the next days - already in contact with the local Lexus centre. Lexus are quite rare in Germany and I think I have never seen a IS-F outside the showroom.
Right know, I am driving a Beemer 325i and as second car for the sunny days a mildly modded Lotus Elise R. Looking for a replacement of the Beemer for December. Also open to cars which replace both the Beemer and the Elise, but tempted to keep the Elise which is so much fund to drive on sunny days on twisted B-roads.
Looking at the paper, IS-F is the first choice, as I believe a GT-R is not reliable enough (German GT-R community not too happy with car's reliability when driven on race tracks - and the Elise is perfect for that job). Other options include the Subare Impreza WRX STI or more sensible local cars (ie. not available in the US) from Volkswagen or GM brands with 4WD.
I am in Beemer homeland and many M3 around, so I would rather go for an IS-F, for the same reason I got the Elise and not a Porsche Boxster. Hope that two golf-bags fit into the trunk of the IS as this is a must.
Your forum is really a good source of information, no German Lexus forum around (at east not with focus on IS-F) and only one other forum in the UK.
