Hello. Welcome to the forums. I live in Australia too and am also considering the IS-F. I haven't had a chance to test drive it yet. I know what you mean about the cost - compared to the US we pay a premium price for a car like this. But I think it's much better value than a BMW M3 and has more standard features.
I think the white leather interior would be hard to maintain... jeans in particular don't go well with leather. So i'd personally get black leather because marks won't show up as easily. As for exterior i'd get the blue or white.
I'm wondering if much could be saved on a car like this... because they're so rare here I think it would be hard to talk the dealer down. The dealer I talked to said they are only allocated one IS-F per month to sell.
I've read a lot of reviews saying suspension is stiff and the ride is hard for everyday driving. What did you think of it?
