I've owned my 220d for almost a year now and love it. My first Lexus and I think i'm converted!

I bought it to travel to Europe to get married / honeymoon and it was a dream to tour in. 4000 miles without a hiccup.

Yes, it does have it's minor niggles - turbo lag/odd gearing and lower than expected urban fuel economy - but on the whole it's great. I know others have had issues with the diesel range but I guess I'm one of the lucky ones and have a 'good egg', so to speak.

It already had alloys and a K&N filter when I bought it and since then i've added a CRTD2 tuning box to help with the turbo lag issues:

Great bit of kit. Thinking of upgrading to the TWIN channel version for additional benefit(s). Plus it gives an great bit of oomph, when you're in the mood.

Personally i'm gutted they killed the diesel range. I think given a few more revisions they have been onto a real winner. I've noticed Lexus are hybrid focused now but, in my opinion, they still have a way to go before they are worth buying, regardless of brand. Still, I understand why they have done it - invest in the future of motoring.

Guess my next car will be petrol, but still a Lexus!
