I love how everyone is saying the IS250 is sooooo slow and underpowered yet the Audi only has barely over 200hp as well..... they're putting the same power down.

I drove a regular IS250... it's not fast but it's not super slow either, geez, you guys are harsh and most of you probably drive slower cars than a IS250 so grains of salt... grains of salt...

i drove both, the audi 2.0t quattro and the stock lexus is250 (rwd obviously) and i liked the lexus better as a handling car. that was on a track though.

i don't think the s4 starts at 52k.... i think its more expensive then that.

I like the A4 > A3, even if both are AWD.

That's old info, since 2009 the A3 has been quattro... it's only FWD if you get the 6-speed manual.

That said, the A3 is TINY inside.
