had a few probs in the is200 like corrsion on the wheels(still there), gas pedal jamming & is NOT caused by the carpet i can tell ya. been sorted now & ERR3, bought aftermarket head unit.

i wouldnt say had no problems when owning a car, must of had i or 2 at least no matter how minor. like saying i never lie......thats a lie.....

if you get err3 on your cd player just switch it to the radio then back to cd, usaully works and clears the message

read on here somewhere that some one else had a problem with coil packs and sorted it by changing the array of them.... eg put number 1 on six and eg number 2 on 4 .. dont know how true tis was though

It depends what you want it for.

If you are at the lights on a dual carriageway and something pulls up alongside you then the IS200 is definitely not the best car to be in. If you're the sort not to bother with that stuff then it being slow off the mark won't matter.

When you're on your own in the IS200 on a good country road and are just having fun, not trying to race anyone, then I think it's plenty quick enough :). The handling and brakes are good which helps a lot.

I think it feels quicker than the 0-60 time, bear in mind it won't crack 60 in second so there's two gear changes needed. But like others have said off the mark it's not great, mainly because of the bad 1st to 2nd gear change. But once you're moving it pulls well and really smoothly.

you can crack 60 by only 1 gear change in you start off in 2nd gear

basicly the increase on the road tax will be the lower poluting cars will increase by £30 and the higher poluting cars will increase by £60 2001-20006 registered

the lexus is200 is not the most powerfull car out there but in comparison with others it is.

the lexus is200 is a nice looking car compared to most other cars out there.

the quality and the equipment of the is200 is well infront of most cars out there.

if you want a fast car for not to much money then i suggest you do what i did.... get a wrx prodrive(not the most comfortable car to drive)and a lexus is200 for a nice smooth drive and comfort with lots of extras as standard :D

think the latest version is gen5 ver6.1

the latest dvd sat nav disc for your car is gen5 version 6.1

boy racers huh! lmao

Always strikes me as a huge sum for a cdrom ....

Have you tried calling a mainland european dealer ?

Nav cd's used to be about 80-90quid abroad ....

I was lucky enough to find the latest CD (v3.7) on eBay last week for 80quid :D

might as well just buy a new sat nav from argos... will have all the latest roads on it and also speed camera alerts.
