From What To Lexus ?

[Sleepypete (FB)]

I've gone from a Lexus ... to a Lexus :hocus-pokus:

Currently enjoying the extra power of an IS300h, which was an upgrade from
2011 CT200h SE-L - great but underpowered

2002 Focus ST - horrible chassis

1999 Puma - loved it for 7 years but bits were dropping off it by the end

1992 Rover 420 - which shall never be spoken of again

1987 Belmont SRi - last of the non-catalyst cars. Was a bad decision to let it go

1982 Astra Mk1 1.6 - loved it to bits, saw me through uni but it was another which had bits dropping off every time you started it up.

1982 Fiesta 950 pop plus - which I have trouble considering seriously as a "car"

You are still welcome on the forum whatever car you drive. I for one would like to see your new machine....no need to leave Ian.

2002 1.6 Ford Focus auto to 2000 IS200 auto. a much improvement :D.

Also had a Rover 200 SDI 2.0 for my first car but not for long. my mum gave it me. All i remember is i had to slow down when my wife was on the phone because she couldnt hear! also that i was still freezing my butt off 7 miles into my trip and only then the heater would slowly start to blow warm. put me off diesels for life. I soon bought a Ford Focus auto to tie me over until i could afford to insure a IS200. The wait was well worth it.

I've had a K11 Nissan Micra, a 2008 Suzuki Swift and now my IS 250 Sport MM.

[goldtop]

Haven't quite bought my Lexus yet, but I got here by way of lots of dissimilar cars.Won't list them all, but the closest in type were:

Nissan Maxima QX

Mercedes W201 2.6

Mercedes W124 E280

I love Sacco-era MBs, but the W126 doesn't appeal as an ownership prospect. :(

Current daily driver city car is an Aygo (bit of a contrast!).
