Driven an IS300 auto, raced an IS300 auto. :)
I love this car, but the lack of a 5-speed in the SportCross (wagon) kinda sucks. The auto is quite nice though - one of the best IMHO. The car is slightly smaller than a 3-series or 9-3, so it is a little cramped in comparison to a 9-3. Impeccable build though, and much fun to drive.
In terms of speed, it'll eat any stock 9-3 save a Viggen. My buddy's IS kept pace with my Alfa way past the legal speed limit, and my Alfa has no problem with a 9-3.

P.S. It's a 3.0 inline six, not a V6. Same engine as the GS300 and Mk IV Supra. 215hp in the IS, though, due to exhaust manifold restriction.`
