Say It Isn't True!

Tell me on some of the IS200/AS200s that the rear seats fold down. If not I think it's a deal breaker for me in a Lex

[Noel]

sportcross only....

no IS200 saloon can fold the rear seats

Look here.... explains all

there is a flap door through to the boot from the back seat for about the size of a snowboard etc.

[TheMasterG]

Yeh, was just in my mates sport and no folding seats, just the hatch.

Man, I was nearly decided on a Lex :(

[MacRS200]

Oh well

Buy some roof bars if you got long things ro carry.

[boddamloon]

yes its too much of a car to decide on it bcos the back seats dont fold..................

[TheMasterG]

Man, I surf most weekends and can fit 3 boards in my Civic with the rear seats down and two in the front comfortable. Bikes occasionally too so really need the drop seats.

Mate is getting 27mpg at the mo', throw some boards on roof on a rack and mpg will plummet :(

Expensive on long surf trips.

NUTS :tsktsk:

[boddamloon]

take up snow boarding it would be worth it

[MacRS200]

Guess you are bolloxed then, buy a VW camper van

This is what you want then. Give you the extra power as well.

IS300 Sportcross in Galway

Rare car especially in Ireland.

unles u have a narrow board its still hard to get a snowboard thru the hatch - just get ua roof rack.

[lee_iceman]

I'd agree the Sportscross is a nice car too plenty of room in that.

You ever go surfing in Easkey? We have a house just down the coast in Aughris :)

[TheMasterG]

Hi,

Easky lefts is my local break, we have a house in Easky village, in Riverbank :)

We're only blow-ins though but still, great surf there!

As for the SportsCross - I'm not a big fan so dunno what to do at the mo :(

Well i have big feet so my wide board dont fit through my hatch so bought a set of thule areo bars, takes seconds to fit them and lockable so it cant be nicked.

Plus using this method it keeps your interior nice and clean!

[TheMasterG]

Jay, you have a pic of your rack? (lucky you're not female!)

Even worse on the IS250, still no fold down and no Sportcross either. EVERY other manufacturer makes a 3/5 door for Europe, but I guess Lexus aren't bothered about Europe and instead want to stick with the US rich teenager market segment the IS is aimed at. Hatchbacks aren't popular over there.
