  • This is a pretty quick car and has enough power for most however, the competition is faster. My previous car was an '07 Infiniti G35 and it felt faster. The engine is smooth and has a nice sound though plus the car handles really well!

    Put it in manual mode and let the car shift for you. Just make sure traction control isn’t totally off and it will hit 62 mph in 2nd. Feels better and normally hits closer to 7k redline

    You can swap a 4.08 diff from a 2IS. But you'll lose the AWD if you just swap the pumpkin over. If you swap the ring and pinion themselves then that's the key.

      Also I don't know if you still have the car or how many miles you got on it, when you change the spark plugs at 60 to 70k miles, I highly recommend getting NGK ruthenium HX spark plugs. The acceleration response in so violent when you floor it is just ridiculous. Especially when you drive on S mode and manual. They are not cheap spark plugs about 15$ each. And you need 6.

Coming from a VW GLI, which had a lot more low-end torque, for a while I was a bit disappointed, too. But the IS 350 feels great on the highway where it can rev.

Also, sometimes when I want to merge into a lane the transmission gets confused and there's a big delay before it gets going. Kinda makes me nervous at times. I will say that when I put it in sport mode, the throttle is much more responsive but it's still a little disappointing from a sport sedan that isn't cheap.
