i dont own one, but due to the research iv been doing building up to buying one i have found out the following:
Good
* very quite drive
*very comfortable drive
* for a car if its age still fits in with modern day looks
*one of the best looking rev counters
*superb reliability
Bad
* Engine Tuning is very limited
*after market parts can be expensive
*Quite a common car around my area but that isnt always a bad thing.
*didnt come with a v8 engine option from factory
*is300 only came in auto in Europe
* reverse beeping
* the sport model didnt really come with much extra from the standard versions, a deeper tone exhaust, more bhp and possibly a sportier looking body kit from factory would be nice
