you'd be missing out on the m3 handling if you went with the isf...

cmdamota91 · 06-18-2010, 07:45 AM

who cares if the lexus is toyota? Im pretty sure a supra with just a couple of mods can eat any of our bmws. But on this one if i was looking for a sedan I would go with the e90 m3 but thats my opinion. The isf is one sexy car. Never drove one tho let us know how it is

Some Facts:
1. HP: M3 vs. IS F: 414 vs. 416
2. Torque: M3 vs IS F: 295@3900 rpm vs. 371@5200 rpm
3. Engine Size: 4.0L vs. 5.0L
4. Fun Factor: Tons of Fun (it's an M3) vs. Yeah its fun now, but it's still a Toyota (IS F)

If you go by the above, the ISF wins in 3 out of 4... Just my opinion. And opinions are just that...

IS-F is one hell of a car in my personal opinion... the only issue are all the computers struggling to keep you from driving into a wall... lmbo...

I was shopping around for an IS-F also... they are more rare than M3's....

a supra its still a toyota, and its a hell of a car

....

i would still rather get an m3, it drives a lot better. but i doubt that the OP in considering an M3 since he is only paying 500 for the IS

my sister has an is250. its a great car, but i dont see myself in an is. but the isF is rare and sounds amazing. i would do it.

ya i test drove it ... my payments would be 150-200 more... my insurance is 130 a month full coverage..been clean for 18yrs =)....and yes it does sound amazing....but im just a lil iffy about the mileage i found ...its a lil too high

nice ..

Curtis92 · 06-20-2010, 12:46 PM

The choice is up to you. Both are nice cars, but I would personally choose the M3, but here's a top gear episode on the matter....

Qmax03 · 06-20-2010, 01:49 PM

id get it in a heartbeat ... ISF is a amazing car !!

itsbrokeagain · 06-20-2010, 01:56 PM

chalk another one up for the M3

fruition3000 · 06-20-2010, 02:38 PM

The beeping on the downshifts is what killed it for me. I would stick with the 335

nebz · 06-20-2010, 03:29 PM

ah gon · 06-20-2010, 10:12 PM
