IS-F is a phenomenal car, I driven it on a track and got the tail out a couple of times, if it was my money and I was in the market for a sport sedan , ISF or C63 would be my bet.
The 8 speed is just fine with super fast shifts, The engine growl is addicting when you get on it and around town it feels better than a M3 because of the low end torque. I wouldnt call the ride too stiff as it is a sport sedan and there is road feel. It probably is cheaper to maintain than a C63, M3 or RS4.
Now the downside.
The Leg room is not existent in the back and it only seats two small children, if that matters to you. There is no exhaust note compared to the nice one on M3 and I dont like the tail pipes too much.
Now the down
