Hi Guys,

Only about my 3rd or 4th post but i've now placed my votes.

Had my Is220d SE since Mar 10 and have now clocked up 7,000 trouble free miles. Economy wise I easily average mid 40's mixing up M1 and a bit of town traffic. The wife drove back from a wedding in Sheffield a few weeks back and in 6th gear with cruise set at just over 80 on the clock (about 75 on the GPS) she averaged 51.8 mpg!!!

I agree that turbo lag is horrendous and I am getting a couple of creaks and ratttles from the dash but other than that I have had absolutely no issues at all. One thing that really gets my goat is the drip from the drivers door after it has rained!!!

I only collected my Lexus yesterday but compared to a Saab the turbo lag is nothing and build quality is superb.

The gearing is on the tall side, warranted, but the cabin is so much quieter it's silly.

Methinks some of the rattles people complain about are because they've been spoilt by silence...

hearing pin drops can be a curse?!

Later that same night;

Having read the rest of the posts I am convinced there are a few "Jessies" on here.

Seriously, 6th gear is meant for the motorway, not for Tesco parking lots or b roads. You need to be doing 70 to make it work.

There is enough torque to maintain your speed in cruise control on the motorway uphill or downhill.

That "slight rattle" is probably something your misses left in the ash tray to p!ss you off, like a 5p coin or a small makeup accessory. Again, compared to a Saab, this is silence.

Hi,

Just joined, picked up a lexus IS 220d yesterday, 07 plate 37k on the clock. Nice nick in all.

I am just pondering whether to buy a warranty or not, choices, choices.

Opinions welcome!
