Car 1: 99 Mazda Protege
Car 2: 07 TL w/Navi
I have tested drove IS, yea IS has smoother drive than TL and IS 350 is faster than TL-S. But I have to agree with Gwave_70, I will buy TL-S over IS 350 anyday cuz the extra 10-15k u have to pay for IS 350 with equivalent features of TL-S is not worth it for me. Waste of money for a marginal faster car and marginal smoother drive. If IS 350 is only 1-2k more expensive, then I will consider IS 350 but 10-15k does not justify it for me.

As for comfort, I rode on IS both as front and rear passenger b4 cuz my friend got one, IS is not comfortable at all, particularly for long road trip. It is a torture..I mean is seriously a torture, not enough leg rooms nor comfort to move around. TL/TL-S is more comfortable since I travel on long distance a lot.

Don't get me wrong though, IS 350 is a fun car to drive, just not my type of car for the kind driving I have to do, and I don't see the extra 10-15k justification to buy that car unless I m filty rich.
