I'm considering the purchase of a 2014 or 2015 IS250 with AWD. I know that model is not particularly quick but that is not a concern (unless it's dangerously underpowered). I'm more interested in crisp handling. Given the improvements to the platform in 2014, I'm wondering if the F Sport version still holds the same handling advantage that it may have with the pre 2014 platform. Does the IS250 AWD in F Sport version handle significantly better than the base IS250 AWD on the new platform?
Opinions: Is250 Awd F Sport Or Not?
