Sales rep- 1500 miles (mostly highway) a month on average. Absolutely leaning towards the stick, but traffic can be a bear, also love Toyota/ Lexus.
If I get the M2 I’m looking at an extended warranty. I’ll probably keep either car 5 years. What would you pick and why?
I’d think the IS500 would be a much better highway cruiser. I’ve heard the new M2 rides better, but I don’t think they’ve made the gas tank any bigger (52 liters, way too small for a car producing 400+ hp.)
Obviously the M2 will be a much more fun and playful vehicle, but for your use case, i’d feel no shame in picking the lexus. M2 is a nice all-arounder but if it’s light on anything, it’s comfort and luxury.
