Thanks for your reply Bobby this really helps, I've looked at IS200d F sport but because it is fairly new it's out of my price range, for instance a 2010 model you're looking at £14,000 I did notice that this car has a tax price of £130 to £145 a year and also gives 55mpg which most people would be happy with.
Bobby I think the auto would be my choice to be honest as I fancy a change and am getting lazy.
David the mileage on mine is coming up to 88,000
Thanks
