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 would pick the M2 because I care mostly about handling performance and track readiness. Also, the manual trans won’t be around forever and I’ll have the rest of my life to cruise around in heavy automatics.
I’ve never considered the IS to be a sports car. Its a nice tourer and will have a softer ride than the M2. I guess it comes down to what you want. The 500 will be more comfortable, the M2 will be more fun.
