Hi guys thanks for the further comments and help .F A.. the problem with some cars are they do have variations within a model IE: is250 could have performance pack added ?.. etc.so its not as clear cut as you would think.and i have already had a 220D so knew what i was looking for.a petrol IS250 which i have now got.:) i was just asking about the bodykit etc that doesnt match the straight se spec. like the leather seats bigger alloys and different bodykit which looks lower and wider than the usual se body

Damn.. i knew i was getting scammed :))

Hi,thanks for the reply. yes might have to give them a ring.but looks more and more like the SR spec..its manual.yes i was also thinking maybe f sport bits added? but,what makes me think its a out and out model spec is the body shape. seems lower lights look a bit different.and as i said in the post earlier.the shape over the wheels etc.seems like its got a diff body kit,,so,points towards SR or SPORT i will get some pics up. but away till weekend working so it will be then Gary

Hi,Guys. Need some help here. i got my IS250 last week stunning car :) i did have a diesel 220d last year for a while but just never got used to the diesel.but always said if i coiuld get a good IS250 petrol id jump at it. but im unsure just what model it is.. its got full leather electric heated seats..leather hand stitched steering wheel..18 inch lexus alloys.the body shape looks lower than the 220d at the front. and its got a wider body shape around the wheels??and rear lip spoiler..car is painted argento ice.. ive put an SR on here. but not sure.it could possibly have maybe the sports package or part of on it or performance pack ? any ideas guys? Gary

Hi,all. Just joined, i live in west yorks. i pick up my IS250 SR on thursday.cant wait ! did borrow my friends 220D for a week.and loved it [except for the diesel part].. nothing against deisel..just not my cuppa !! so, gone full petrol :) hope to chat with some of you guys and attend some meets if nearby. will be making a gold member over next week or so

Point taken ;) but was just saying about the so called sports diesels out there that this being Lexus first go at a decent one was a good effort.and seems everyones out to knock them.. i did try a saab "psorts diesel" but found the handling very poor on corners to be honest.and tried the 220D and was really surprised with the sharp handling etc..obviously a diesel isnt in the same power as a petrol.but makes a nice change to have a decently quick diesel.though im looking to maybe trade up to a 250 or the is-f model soon. by the way my last message might have come acrodss negative. if so,it wasnt meant to. :) grats on the IS-F by the way !!

Just to add a little to the reply with the line... "nothing remotely sporty " can i suggest you go and look up some of the so called "sports coupes" both petrol and diesel and let me know how many hit 134 mph ? ..lets say upto 2L for petrol and 2.2L. for diesel.oh,and make sure they have great handling at speed in corners too... not many is there?. :winky: .ive had fast cars for last 15 yrs. and im very happy with the performance of my 220d looks good great to drive.and has a good turn of speed.. not great off the mark but it is a diesel :P .. but for a "sports diesel" its very good IS =intelligent sports... nuff said :)

Hi,Everyone!. thought id just say a quick hello to you all :P i get my Lexus 220D on saturday !! cant wait !!..
