"I've always seen the IS-F as kind of a poseur's car.
I know it's genuinely fast, but between the over-designed body treatments and the 8 speed auto...it seems like the most workout any of them will ever get will be to outrun sportier cars on the freeway at night.
I know it would smoke my WRX in most situations, but fo rmy money, I'd rather have my car (actually, 3 of them)."
"@rlj676-new job, same problems: Tailgates rust out, tailgate motors (or in his case, wiper-motors) stop working, tailgate weatherstripping goes, rear side windows get busted, the gas tank is different, the tail lights are different and paintjobs cost more.
Hopefully the floor of his rear tub isn't rusted out like mine."

The front half of your car is (relatively) easy to find parts for, but you'll pay dearly for the back half."
