Is 200 Sportcross?

[alexe]

I have a lovely 51 plate IS200 with 90,000 but am thinking of changing to a 04 sportscross with 50,000 and satnav.

Is it worth changing? Is the music system better? The fold down seats would be useful but is that enough?

I'm really not sure, any thoughts?

Cheers

I'd go for a 300 SportCross if you can find one - at least then you'll have the difference of a bigger engine too. I'm not sure if the 200 SX has all of the goodies that the 300 has - self dimming rear view mirrors, HID lights etc.

Finally, get the 300 converted to LPG then you've 200(ish)bhp to play with on fuel at 60p per litre.

Good luck

I find the fold down seats really useful. Not sure about the LPG suggestion though...where would the tank go?

Tank would go in the spare wheel well assuming its under the boot liner like on the saloon, altho LPG is only really good if your gonna do a lot of mileage in a short time as apparently in the long run its not as good for the engine (so i'm told)

the S model 200 lacked the amp beside the glove box so I imagine the sound system isn't as good as the others

The fold down seats are my main reason for considering the sport x. Does anyone know if it has the lowered suspension like the salon is200 sport?

Don't forget the hatchback boot and the front passenger seat folds down too. I've had a 12ft wardrobe panel in mine!
