Hi, i live in NSW (Australia) and am considering buying a new IS200. But there are a few things i would like your advice on, such as the performance of the car. I read this review http://www.autoweb.com.au/A_0687/page1.html and since i want a car with reasonable performance (i drive a corolla currently) this review is really discouraging. That and the fact that the car has been around for quite a while (since '99), so are there plans to discontinue the model, or to introduce a newer model in the future?
BTW im looking at the 4spd auto - the sales guy told me it has a 'gated shift' - what is this? Is it similar to tiptronic autos??
One other thing, the guy said that lowering the car would void the warranty. But with a car like this, how can you NOT lower it??
Well, thanks for any info u can provide
