Is200 And Rs200

[HAPPYBLOKE]

Which one you prefer?

[altezzaz]

the rs, of course...

[MacRS200]

Got both and it's the RS

[Mr Morse]

About sixty horses isn't it? :winky:

its really hard to say .... it all depends on what you are after.

Cos the bottomline, except for the look .. and some of the suspension components, its 2 totally different cars.

I have an IS200, but I'm in the altezza club also on this side of the world ... for my personal preference, I like my IS more ... cos its not really the top notch performance Im looking for ... its the comfort/driveability, smoothness, vast number of options, and reliability of the lexus ....

of course, the killer looks just takes it away ....

of course I won't complain if my IS had 50 more horses ... but im perfectly happy with my I6 under my hood.

Bernard - I maybe wrong but how did you end up with a Lexus in Hong Kong? I thought only the Altezza was available because offically until very recently the Lexus brand didn't exist in HK?

Two very different cars.... Having owned both - of course the RS is my favourite.... ;)

Have a read of this thread....

[Mr Singh]

IF the IS300 was available in manual in the UK, i'd choose that over both... Just because of the tuning and output potential!

Agree, driven IS200 and Altezza is much more a drivers car!

[Colin P]

same as other views, 300 if they did manual over here otherwise RS!

so what do I have? IS200

[jasestu]

I'm happy with my RS...

There are times when the 'refinement' of an IS start to appeal, but at the end of the day I'm a 'driver' and not just a 'get-from-point-A-to-point-B' person. The open winding roads we have around here in NZ also lean further towards the RS.
