Hello Everyone

Just on the verge of replacing my IS 200 with a IS 200 Sport Cross, I have had a look at the spec sheets but I'm a little confused about the 200 Sport Cross. Is it the same spec as the 300 but with a smaller engine, ie does it have the limited slip dif and the 9 speakers etc?

Cheers

I find the fold down seats really useful.

The fold down seats are my main reason for considering the sport x. Does anyone know if it has the lowered suspension like the salon is200 sport?

I have a lovely 51 plate IS200 with 90,000 but am thinking of changing to a 04 sportscross with 50,000 and satnav.

Is it worth changing? Is the music system better? The fold down seats would be useful but is that enough?

I'm really not sure, any thoughts?

Cheers

Why were the alloys recalled. My is200 has just done 60,000 so it would be good to know what the problem is.

Hello everyone

Just signed up to this forum (gold as well) but due to some terrible customer service I don't have my is200 yet.

I bought the car from Lexus Sheffield (very good service so far) on the 29th August, I just needed the insurance certificate to have the car taxed.

I went home and got insurance through Hastings Direct. They told me the certificate would be sent 1st class that day (weds). They took out a deposit from my account immediately.

On Mon the 3rd Sept the certificate has not arrived so no car, I ring up Hastings, yes it was sent 1st class but they will send a replacement 1st class. On Fri the 7th still no documentation from Hastings. I ring them to complain again and demand a full refund having decided to give up and find another company to insure me.

They grovel and promise to have the certificate sent special delivery. So this morning a bundle of documents arrive from Hastings but they have forgotten to include the certificate. So still no car.

I have now after nearly 2 weeks given up on Hasting and cancelled the policy but they won't refund my full deposit and want to charge me £40.

Anyway I hope to have some good news early next week if the new insurance company manage to provide the certificate.

Cheers
