The 2016 and 2015 are essentially the same vehicle. It received a minor refresh in 2017.Im not sure if acceleration is a priority for you, but the 2.5 V6 in the IS250 has more than enough power, but is slower than the 1.5 in your touring. Also, the only real benefit of the IS250 imo is that the interior might be a little nicer, other than that its not a huge upgrade considering you'll be going into an older used car. If you're gonna change over to a Lexus, at least get the IS350 and maybe a 2016 or newer if you can swing it. Then it's a worthy upgrade.
I have had significant seat time in a Lexus RC 350 F Sport (based on the IS/GS, mainly the IS) and also a RWD 2015 IS 250. I have even had back-to-back drives in the IS and my Civic. I recommend giving the Lexus you have in mind a test drive, if you haven't already.I am thinking about getting rid of my car and into this Lexus.... comments?
True, but I still feel like if you're gonna change over to Lexus at least get the IS350. Might as well upgrade in power as well and not get a car thats slower if you're gonna go through all the trouble of replacing your car, imo.The 2016 and 2015 are essentially the same vehicle.

Agree. The only nice thing about the 250 is that despite its low power, it's still a smooth and great sounding V6. Otherwise, yeah, 350 is where it's at. Even the 350 isn't startlingly fast.True, but I still feel like if you're gonna change over to Lexus at least get the IS350.

I had a IS250 and it felt faster than my civic. I drove the IS200T before buying the civic and it has more HP but it did not drive as well as the civic did and had no navigation.I am thinking about getting rid of my car and into this Lexus.... comments?
