"My dad and I took the IS F on a road trip up Highway 1 this weekend from Morro Bay to Big Sur," says associate Web editor Carlos Lago."We had a blast, as the IS F performed exceptionally." Allow Lago to explain.rn"The engine's evil, nasty howl at around 4000 rpm is addicting. After the first few miles, I was a junkie for the sound, relying on the shift indictor to say when the next dosage was ready. Beep, upshift, bliss. The eight-speed box seems a bit superfluous, but I can't imaginernthis car being better with a manual (Yes, Kiino, I'll concede this auto is just that good). Though, at cruising speeds, it seems to hunt around with minor throttle adjustments, but it's perfectly liveable. It's also Speedy Gonzales fast on the manual shifts." Further, the fuel-economy benefits of eight speeds continue to be seen: We're averaging 19.2 mpg.
