The 2013-2014 ISF was the car I was going to get. I was dead set on it for years and when it came time to buy in October/November of last year, I came damn close to buying a couple of hardly used 2013-2014s ISFs for $48-50K. I was 8 hours from driving to St. Louis to get a 2013 when I got cold feet. I just couldn't convince myself to drive an auto even though the 8AT in the ISF is STELLAR (just as good as the M235's 8AT, IMO). The V8 sounds, instant throttle response, handling, and a true LSD as stock (2012+ cars) is exceptional. Beyond the automatic only issue, the aftermarket is pretty slim. However, the car is pretty much bulletproof and it's damn easy to get them into the low to mid 12s with minimal work. The car is heavy though ~3,800lbs and not real roomy in the back (barely more room than my M235 plus the ISF seats don't fold down).
At the end of the day, I ordered a new M235 6MT for fractionally less than what a used ISF would have cost me.
With all that said, I may still pick one up in the future as my sedan cruiser. They're relatively plentiful and people don't seem to drive them much.
