I think if it was between a 330i and an IS300, id pick the 330 without question...but between an IS and a 325i I probably would pick the Lexus...if they offered a stick. Unfortunately that wont be until next model year i think...So if you want a stick the BMW is your only choise...If you dont care, I'd go for the Lexus--they handle very much the same and the Lexus has the stronger engine. Personally, I like the way it looks too...
ok, dont shoot me...but for about the same money, i can get either car...i have read all about both and driven both but unable to decide..currently own 325is...on reliability alone..im leaning towards the IS300...have had numerous problems with my car, mostly quality issues and oh, by the way, a new transmission...but i love the feel and after 6 yrs it still feels tight and new...your thoughts much appreciated.
