Hmm, the only thing I can think of is the gas consumption maybe? Otherwise I don't see anything wrong with it. Been using mine as daily driver for 3 months now and my only complaint is the gas mileage of 6 kms/liter city driving, hehe.

I see. Well that's better than ford expedition. But how does the ride and handling compared to its competitors? This is really the bang-for-the-buck right now, I guess?

Handling is comparable to bmw, ride comfort is good but not as comfortable as the benz. Power wise, trumps both the 320 and C200.

I see. Indeed, with that power its already a no-brainer choice.

3M for the is350 f sports and entry variant is 2.5M.

As a former IS owner (sold mine after 2 years), I realized that it didn't feel like a 306hp car and I guess it's probably due to the V6 weight. For comparison, I'm quite impressed with the front wheel VW Golf GTI as it somehow felt nimbler even with only 220hp.

I still do think that for 3 million, the IS is currently the best sport luxury package vs closely priced Audi/BMW/Benz although it may change soon.

Because if comfort is the priority, I find the upcoming VW Passat quite interesting at 2.75M. It uses the same engine/platform as the GTI and probably has the most high tech interior in its price point.
