Well i have only recently bought my IS 200 and thinks its great. I bought mine through reccommendations from a friend and my husband who is a Jap Car nut!! He told me Japenese Cars are built very well and are realiable which i needed due to my last 2 cars being disasters!! Its classy, looks good, drives well, has great interior, comfortable seats and turns heads! However, im used to having cars that have a lot of power down the bottom end of the revs e.g Golf GTI... it took a while to get used to the torque not being as good and the power not really kicking in until it reaches 60-70mph. Best car ive ever had thought by far!!! :-)
