I wish I could've test driven one. I don't like how they don't come manual though, but then again, it's mainly a luxury car. Did it feel heavy at all?

Not at all did it feel heavy.

Besides the IS F is not JUST a luxury car... dont get me wrong its nice inside, leather, blue tooth, etc, etc. but she was made to romp.

@ 416 hp it is the fastest production car ever made by Lexus (this will change if the LF-A is produced), huge 14" brakes w/ massive lobster calipers let it slow down quickly and the suspension is very tight. True it only comes with an automatic but the paddle shifting is sweet, and @ .10 sec shift time faster than a manual (8 gears btw). The hot lap by the pro driver was kinda scary... seriously. IMO for $56,000 its not to shabby for a performance sedan. Perhaps not quite an M3/5 but not bad for their first shot at it.

Not to mention the 2hr driving academy was free, and I got a cool hat:icon_bigg
