Advantages: Quiet, Comfortable, well specified, great service from dealer Disadvantages: Below average MPG, Dashboard rattle
I have had a LexusIS220D as a company car since October 2007. I still get into the car after two years and think wow! The car feels well built and smooth to drive, it is very quiet for a diesel engined car and some people have thought it was a petrol. I have had a couple of niggles though, the dashboard developed a rattle after about 3500 miles but it was delat with swiftly by the local Lexus dealer with no issues at all.
'Ownership' has been a joy, everytime the car has been in for a service a courtesy car has been provided and the car comes back to me spotlessly clean. Servicing bills have been very reasonable.
Fuel economy has been the cars Achilles heel though returning 37 MPG on average (I'm not the lightest of right footed people!)
On a whole though I love this car, it still turns heads as it isn't as common as a BMW 320d ...

Advantages: Looks, Engine, Specs Disadvantages: Fuel Consumption, Tyre Wear
I bought my LexusIS200 SE in January 2006 and it's safe to say it is the best car I've ever had. The build quality is rock solid, it handles brilliantly and as for the cabin, it is an extremely pleasant place to be.
The car is aimed squarely at the BMW 3-series, and just like it's main rival, it is a beautifully balanced, rear-wheel drive sports saloon. The engine is a 6-pot peach and this is it's main advantage over the BMW, which in it's 2 litre variant, only comes with 4 cylinders. The engine is smooth, refined and has VVT-i so at 4500 rpm, you get a kick in the back and the car surges forward even faster. With 153bhp, the engine is quite good for a 2 litre and has a little more power then the BMW rival. Obviously it's not a pocket rocket like a Civic VTR or Toyota Celica but the engine is more relaxed and a lot less fizzy then ...
Advantages: easy to use,many good features Disadvantages: not very waterproof !
In my opinion the samsung e250is a very good first phone because it as cheap but good.It i very easy to use with a 2mp camera,memory card slot and a music player.There is a few problems with it though : it is not very waterproof as i gt mine wet the other day and now it doesn't work very well but i can stil make phone calls which is good.It has a resonbly sized keypad so it is easy to see the buttons and good sizes screen but the phone its self is a good size and very light,This phone has lasted me about 1 year,
i hope this has been useful and do not hesitate to ask me any further questions about this product if i have not answered it in my review. ...
