    I'd always promised myself a BMW Three-series by the time I was 21. Sadly, the big 2-1 came round and no BMW was in sight, not even remotely. I'd had an Austin Metro and a Ford Capri and at that time was driving around in a clapped out 1984 Honda Accord, desperately trying to make ends meet, and despite the plethora of Taylors Estate Agents driving around in the most sought after German saloon there was little chance of me owning one. Being realistic I decided to reset my goal and was determined to own a BMW Three-series by the time I was thirty. Six years later my fortunes had changed and the ... more

    4 Stars Beautiful Car ... but with very irritating flaw. 05/08/2004

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Painfully Under-Powered at Low Revs

    INTRO My last ever company car before I went 'solo' (i.e self employed) was a Silver Lexus IS200, The SE (Special Equipment Version). I very much doubt you'll have any idea just how badly (prior to getting one of these, that is) I wanted to have one of these - even if you do regard the car as being desireable, I still feel that my (albeit highly subjective) sentiments for 'top-tier' Japanese cars - might make me seem to some people as perhaps even a bit weird! You see ... I have always put what I have held to be the flagships of Japanese automotive engineering, on a pedestal, head and ... more

    Advantages Advantages Stylish, bullet proof build, tons of equipment and not a BMW.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor fuel consumption and performance for it's class and not a BMW.

    The Japanese, apparently, are fantastic at developing existing ideas into something new but seldom create something original. Invent a calculator, the Japanese will make it smaller. Make a television, they come back with a 42 inch plasma screen that you hang on the wall. All of this is brilliant for cold, functional devices, but how well does it work when they put their minds to something with a bit of soul, a little passion… like a sports saloon. Lexus is the luxury division of Toyota, formed several years ago when Toyota realised that nobody was going to buy one of their cars instead of a ... more

    4 Stars Having owned one for a year what do I think? 12/08/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Customer Service, Build Quality, Value for Money

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Alloy Wheel Salt Erosion Pitting

    I purchased my Lexus IS 200 SE Auto in October 2003. Having owned and Audi, a Mercedes and a BMW I was immediately struck by the professionalism and keenness of the staff at the dealership. A sort of eagerness to please I had not seen in many years. That feeling is something I still get now whenever I deal with them. The IS 200 is not an uncommon car. You see lots of them around, rather like the ubiquitous 3 series BMW. However, the point is that they are that bit different both in looks and in substance. On my first drive two things struck me, apart from the instrument cluster which in spite ... more

    Advantages Advantages Looks great, sounds great, really comfortuble.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Traction Control to Cautious

    Hello everyone! Thanks for taking the time to read my review, i hope you have read my other car reviews! Ok, so the Lexus is200. I purchased this car a few months ago now so i have had a good amount of time to get used to it and find out all the good and bad points about it. At first i was a little unsure about this car, it looked great, both inside and out, but there was just something about it that made me a little unsure. I think it was just the brand Lexus, did it mean people would turn around and look at the lovely black tinted windows and shout, " GRANDAD " ??? A few of my friends that ... more
