The first time I drove the 220D as a courtesy car, I was disappointed after IS200's & IS250's. After further drives, I revised my opinions. It is everything the IS250 is except for quietness, smoothness, performance, refinement, handling etc. with a gearbox second to everything and questionable reliability. It does have a bigger boot, lower VED , the prospect of better economy and a number of owners who are easily pleased and think it is great.

In case you think I am biassed; take the opportunity to really experience the 220D whilst waiting for the price to reach your budget. Your IS200 will have become quite elderly by then, but you will probably rather keep it than a straight swap for a brand new IS220D - although I think Lexus may well have dropped it in favour of newer green technologies and something that doesn't threaten their reputation for quality cars:tomato:
