It sucks because the e90 exists, same reason the g37 sucks. They tried to compete with the benchmark and failed miserably.
Now get your redpill wutkarisgud cantdrivestick pussy ass outta here.
The automatic also sucks, and the IS is not a luxury car, god fuck you for ducking so bad.
why buy is350 when you can buy a c5
nobody on here has passenger seat use anyways

It's a cool car but no way it's a sports car. Yeah it has some "sports" parts but at the end of a day it's just a heavy entry tier luxury car with respectable 0-60.
Cuz its a car for cucks who wanna seem like they have a cool car, but arent willing to put the time and effort into one.
Falling for the Toyota meme.

the 3 series was and still is the benchmark, no matter if you like BMW or not, even other auto makers admit it.

even in other reviews that favour the Mercedes C Class for example they still always admit that the 3 series is the best in terms of driving pleasure and fun.

Because the same amount of money can give you one hell of a Miata
