Rear views

[brn7y]

I found out today that the new 2002 IS has an normal rear view mirror as apposed to the wide angle one fitted now. I also found out that I can't swap them over due to a new headlining. The dealer said I was the only one who liked it. Do you like you're wide angle?

I had a loan IS200 a couple of weeks ago and noticed it had a 'normal' mirror, I thought at the time I hope that isn't standard now. I too prefer the wide angle mirror I have.

The wide angle one is awful - made me feel like I was going cross-eyed - the SE I test drove had one. Fortunately my S has a normal one. :D

You just need to get used to it, but after that you realise how much more you see than a normal mirror. Thats probably why Lexus removed it, becuase people who drove the car for the first time didn't like it so it may have put them off buying the car.

It took me a while to get used to it, but now other mirrors seem far to small.:tumble:

I traded my 2000 model to 2002 model, and did not notice any difference between the rearview mirrors (except in 2002 model the rearview mirrors are auto-dimming)...so I don't have any idea what are you talking about...

Now I see nothing!

Picked up the car on Saturday and although highly happy with the car.......................depressed about the lack of rear view.:(:(:(:(:(

Have a look at the "IS200 Crash" forum page, there could be one going spare.

Bryn7 Have a look at http://www.teamlexus.co.uk/forums/viewthread.php?tid=611, there should be a spare here somewhere.:D

Thanks Steve;)

That's the problem though, you can't swap them over as they are a different fitment.
