Me and my girlfriend test drove an 09 IS350 and the paddle shifting time was absolutely terrible. I tried it for a couple minutes and just put in in automatic the rest of the drive. Shes interested in a 250 now just cause they come 6 speed and we both hate automatics, I'm trying to show her the new Hyundai Genesis coupe =)
The twin turbo V6 engine is unreliable and expensive to repair. The turbos need to be replaced like every 60k miles and more often if you chip it. The UR S4/S6 is far superior, although rare and not quite as cool to look at.
