I know it's not an option, but go drive an Infiniti..I LOVE mine.

my 96 TL is a beast, i burn out like nothing (w/ TCS off) & pullin stunts while rippin the e-brake are easy as cake
goin on 170k this month too

TL FTW!

I have a 99 with 70k miles, hopefully it lasts as long as yours.

Yep, my mom has a '00 400 with 120k on it and it still rides very well.You would never guess it has that many miles on it by the way itdrives.

This thread makes me happy own a JDM vehicle

All this talk about going 100K + miles got me all excited.

OP, you can't go wrong with either car. My only advice is to take everything on here with a grain of salt, and go test drive both the cars, then do apros/cons list.

IS 250

IS>TL

should be no discussion.

[ricekrispies420]

id prefer the lexus.

 

[biggieeb0y]

I would go with the TL

 

[indiespice]

Lexus>>>>Acura BUT you gotta go with the Tl in this case.

 

[sa amg]

The TL has more power, roomier, sportier than the IS.

The IS is RWD or AWD, plush interior, good handling, more comfortable.

It's up to you but I'd go with the TL Type-S if you can.

[presequel]

i much prefer the is

get 350 if you can

 

[shch]

I love TL's. I'd get it if you don't mind it being FWD.

 

[black entourage inc]

TL type-s. aren't there better suspension parts in the type-s? so i think that would trump the 250's superior handling compared to a stock TL, sincethe horsepower numbers are already greater.

both have their appeal though. i prefer the TL. i wish i could buy my mom one she LOVES that car

 

[pitman13]

After driving a FWD for the past 3 years, AWD is a must, plus the TL is too common.

IS AWD > TL

 

[killaotaku]

yes tl is too common these days even tho its a hellavuh deal. IS is a new body style and just looks more handsome. get the new IS and be happy.
Tl if you want a bit more for ya $ and IS if you like newer looks and Lexus reliability and prestige.

[nicefro]

I can't find the article, but a TL-S beat a G35 and IS350 around a track by like two seconds.

 

[averagesavage]
