Math is as follows:
I'm trying to sell the Audi A4 2.8Q for about $33k CDN (sport package CD changer, bose sound, tints, 3M etc, and the IS I'm looking into is $29,000 CDN. I'm not going to be at a financial loss when I sell one and buy the other.
The only downside of the IS is that it doesnt have the same features as the A4, such as Automatic Climate Control (its still a Toyota in my books,every Lexus should have this) Headlight Washers (need those in the winter when the snow starts to melt.. do US or UK IS3's have headlight washers? (just a question)), and a ARMREST (who makes a car without a armrest these days??? where can I get one?)
How far will the IS travel on a full tank of gas? I've read anywhre from 400 - 490 depending on driving style, traffic.. etc
About the economy ratings, they way they are determined is that they drive the car through a constant cycle, such as being stopped for 30 seconds, speeding up to 30km/h, staying at 30km/h, then stopping again. Highway ratings are almost the same, slow to 60km/h, speed up to 100km/h etc etc. In real life this doesnt happen, depending on where you live and traffic. Some cars will consume the almost the same amount of gas no matter at what speed it is going, and others like my GS400 will consume very different amounts of gas at different speeds.
Thanks again for the help..
Here's a pic of the car:
