I've just sold my IS250 after 6 years of ownership and bought a Seat Leon Cupra, 280 Bhp, DSG gearbox, fully loaded, radar cruise control, lane assist etc,etc, drives over the bad roads better than the Lexus despite having 19" wheels. Before I bought this i considered numerous cars from Passats, Volvo S40 & S60, RX450h, GS450h but I wanted to get away from RWD cars & having to mess around putting on winter tyres. I will miss the Lexus dealerships though and the great customer service.
