Is300 V Is200

tezza142 · September 17, 2004

Hi Everyone,

I am looking to change my is200 auto because I feel it lacks power, I have added an HKS silent viper exhaust which has made a differance especially mid range, but would like it a bit meatier. Has anyone any comments on the + & -'s between the is200 & is300, would appreciate your views.

Many thanks.

try doing a search and see what you uncover..

IS300 feels quite different from the IS200 auto. Quiter, faster and smoother, gearbox nicer with e-shift and has better traction control. The 300 doesn't even use that much more fuel over the 200 auto either.

well what do you want to know,, i have experinaced both, although the 200 i had was supercharged..

so either s/c the 200 you have at around 3k quid or px it in for a 300, what you get with the 300 is full leather, HID's, tiptronic, auto dim rear view.

you could always add some nitrous tothe 200, for around 1k, this will add just as much bhp as the s/c with the option of having this power only when you want it..
