I agree !

This is the second winter that I've had my IS200 SE.As long as you take easy and are not heavy on the accelerator then you will be alright,besides we don't get that much snow in the uk !

It was a standard UK Impreza with 218 bhp

0-60 time was about 6.3 seconds.

The running costs were a bit high so I traded it in for a brand new IS200 SE.The new car costs were about the same but I got a lot more std equipment in the IS200 including satelite navigation

The Impreza is now in a salvage yard somewhere in the country due to the fact that the new owner lost control of it and drove it into a stone wall

The IS200 gives a bit better mpg than my last car which was an Impreza Turbo.I got roughly 20 mpg from it and about 17-18 mpg if I kept the turbo spinning.Now I get about 27-30 mpg from my IS200

All IS200 Drivers beware I have heard this afternoon from my local Lexus dealer that an IS200 owner from Bradford had been carjacked by four men.They attacked him and have stolen his IS200.

Make sure you keep your doors locked in built up areas !

Yeah count me in,I can't see it beeing a problem

My wheels 17's started to blister before the car was three months old.The car has now done 8000 miles and the wheels are completeley knackered !

I have spoken to my local dealer in Staffordshire and they said they are going to replace the after the winter.They also said they have replaced loads and that it is still an ongoing problem

Sounds good to me,not far to go from Staffordshire.

Yeah !

I would be interested but I would need to know where and when ?

See list below :smug:

Luckily the only problem I've had so far with my 8000 mile IS200 SE is the wheel corrosion.

But I haven't had them replaced yet because LEXUS are supposed to be modifying them !

i.e the back of the wheel is going to be powder coated.

Apparently LEXUS GB have returned two large freight planes full of corroded wheels to LEXUS JAPAN
