Michelin Pilot Exalto are great, better grip in the wet than the Goodyear F1 and in the dry its as good as and they lasted more 10,000 miles (20,000 and 30,000).

No Wire on mine!

I am 46, well, yes I am that old.

Not around here (Portugal), you can have a luxury with the sport gearing (for 5000 euros more).

Morning. Well i dont want to speak to soon but I think I may have cracked my problem. I will only know for sure later this morning as I am being picking up by Lexus to take delivery of my new IS220D SE-L MM S/R in 15 min. Basically I have discoverd some software that will convert your mp3 files into a video DVD format. So what you end up with is a normal video dvd but instead of the menus leading you to scene selections etc, they become folder and track selections instead. Your mp3 folders are recoded into a dvd video codec which the MM will see as a video file. I can't see any reason why this will not work but hey worth a try i suppose. I fill post full details when I have my car. Hold thumbs guys!! That will work! Still there is the 255 limit on the number of files. Does anyone know ir DVD-Audio disk work on the 220d-250 ?

Its the same, the iphone works ok but the phone part just works like any other phone by BT.

Rubish! The IS220d is a good car. At least the current version. I bought a 220d L and I am very pleased with it. The diesel is not very fast and it only as a reasonable aceleration but with its two tonnes what do you want. Its either the extras or the weight, buy the sport version whitout any extras. Lighter and better gear ratio. In Portugal diesel is quite less expensive than petrol ant taxes are based on cc so the 250 petrol is out of question.

RUBISH! Synth or semi-synth oil only mke a difference if used for longer periods of time and/or miles. The short chage of oil with the Lexus makes it possible to use semi-synth oil without any problem. The deterioration of the oil in 15000Km is small. I we where talking 20000 plus Km that could be a problem.
