Aces, at least go drive the Lexus IS350. You will be impressed.

I wanted to blend sportiness with luxury. I was under the impression the IS350 was luxury and not very sporty.

Aces, just go drive the car. It is very sporty with the paddle shifters and 306hp 277lb-ft of torque.

The G35 requires premium as well.

The salesmen told me otherwise.

Well, the engine is smart enough to use a knock sensor and detune the engine a bit if you are using regular gas.

However, you'll end up getting worse gas mileage and performance by doing so.

This isn't like a normal car where adding premium is just a waste of money.

This is from the G35 forum, a user summarized what was in the owner manuals:

My 2006 owners manual states:
G35 Sedans - use regular gas, but premium will give you better performance.

G35 coupes - only use premium, but if not available you can mix in some regular until you can get premium. But don't accelerate hard.

my best friend just had this predicament and he test drove both cars and he just loved the speed and style of the G35, I'd say go for it
