Gas Grade

[c5driver02]

Hi,

I might be in the market for buying a 2006 IS 250 AWD. What kind of gas is required (grade/type)? Also, does the AWD model only come in automatic? If so, do the paddle shifters come standard?

I'm looking forward to test driving one soon. I own a 2006 Audi A4 quattro - the only major complaint about it is the non-existant low end torque. At a dead stop, the acceleration doesn't kick in for a good 1.5 to 2 seconds. You're not moving at all! Hopefully Lexus will be impressive when it comes to that.

Thanks.

Scott

I hope your getting a 350, otherwise your A4 if faster and handles better right now....yeah, there is a bit of turbo lag but as a former Audi A4 2.0T owner you will be getting an upgrade in finish and quility as well as gagetry, but a noticable downgrade in performance. Also, the Quattro is far superior to the lexus haldex based AWD. Keep that in mind, especially if you go up to the mountain to board/ski alot.

i have a GS and use 89...lexus is made by toyota so they can even take 87.

awd IS only made in auto

paddle shifters should come standard and most likely do, but im not too sure.

Use premium gas as recommended. There are many posts here on this already.
