> [@mindless](#): > > Im diggin the is250 little under powered but ill have to drive one and see how it is. You guys are already opening my eyes thanks haha. :tup: i’ve always LOVED the IS250…and i think they’re being offered in manual now too. Like you said though…still very underpowered, but on the flip side, that’s good for MPG that you also mentioned being concerned with in a DD. ---

Yea like i have my Jeep and civic(or something else if i sell it) that i would like to be able to tow. If i could find a nice diesel id be all over it or just a 1500 extended cab is my other idea not so great for towing but would do the job dont think id go with out 4wd though. Fuck i wish i lived in another area where winter didnt happen or matter LOL. ---

id look into finding a turbo diesel, they can be found for cheap if you look enough and they are good year around although gas mileage isnt the best stock for a car you really cant beat an evo and theres one here on the forums that seems like a good deal and already runs great so no need to modify any more ---

I drove an is250 awd all weekend, handled ok, wasnt fast, got 28 mpg avg. (mainly city believe it or not) TONS of creature comforts… ie, keyless go, nav, heated/cooled seats, HID’s, bluetooth, privacy, etc etc etc. And shes had it for 60k miles, with minimal issues… :tup: if you could get an is350 in 6 spd id probably be driving one… ---

IS250 has been available with a stick since they were first made available, but it’s tough as hell to find one. I’ve only driven one IS250 manual, one IS300 5sp, and an AWESOME SC300 5sp. I also drove an auto IS250 almost every day working at NT, big +1 for the IS. ---

The is250 in manual was for RWD only. AWD is only auto. You can get rwd and auto as well. I would def. look into the subaru legacy gt and volvo s60r as well. ---
