The problem being with the IS200 is that the engine does not spring into life until 4500RPM, Now when you are looking at statistics from 0-60 this is going to look fairly slow.
Now if you are in the correct gear sitting at 50 and you plant it, its going to be as quick as all the rest if not quicker in its league.
When people on here is on about it being slow what i think they are on about is that the engine takes so long to kick in and if you are in a hurry you need to keep on the gearbox as cut-out is at 6000RPM so you only have 1500RPM in each gear that you are really pulling in.
But the thing with the Lexus is that you can drop a gear to overtake and you get a smooth response of power
Do i sound like a saleman :shutit:
More like a mechanic lol, im not really after a great deal of speed as i wont be racing, i just want to know that its quicker than my car(bloody should hope so) and that its got power at 50-60 when im driving down the motorway.
the things i like so much about the lexus are...Luxury, Looks and prestige.
