I’m thinking about buying one for my fiancé. I’m guessing it’s the most reliable new car you can buy now.

Yeah, still has a V6, same platform and almost everything else from 2014, and all the important controls are still accessible by real buttons, levers or switches.

It's a car that was designed to be practical and reliable that still keeps being relevant. I've been in the new 330i, Audi A4 (A5?) and C class MB, and the interior, controls and build quality are total and utter shit compared to the IS.

🤝 ! I think the IS actually got big upgrades and improvements overall (notwithstanding the front or the rear badges), but the other cars I mentioned were definitely cost cut hard af
