Extra aluminum, a black headliner and dark gray trim add extra mood to the cabin. Ride quality remains smooth in Normal mode. Perfectly comfortable on bumpy roads. Noise levels stay low due to a well insulated space, lite up with a sun roof. Though marketed as a 5-passenger vehicle, the back seat continues to be extremely tight. A low ride height and roofline also require that taller occupants duck and bend down a ways just to get in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through the twists and turns, F Sport adaptive variable suspension with a limited-slip differential help liven up the IS chassis. Especially when dialed to Sport Mode. Even with the extra help, the handling capabilities of the IS 350 F Sport remain behind some of the competition. The same can be said about the acceleration. Though the V6 is capable, producing 311 hp, other rivals touting turbocharged V6s will easily outperform it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All added up, there\u2019s plenty of good reasons why this little 4-door has become as popular as it is today. Sharp lines, a clean interior, responsive performance and long list of standard features make the IS 350 F Sport as compelling an option today as its ever been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Price as tested: $52,608.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n
