Hi everyone,
Im seriously wanting to buy the is 220d se L maybe a sport, but keep hearing so many bad reporst about gears and road noise, especially on what car.
I love the look of the car inside and out and gadgets are great, but hate the road noise on last 2 cars. Im not after amazingly fast and whlst it would be good to rip bm's up i can live without it, knowing i have a supra on the drive.
I really want to like this and not have any worries about the above, but dont want to get stuck with something i will live to regret either. I will test drive first but never find it the same as owning one. The only other car i like at the moment is the insignia looks wise and in my price bracket which is very much more practical but very much not a lexus either. Mpg good which is on my list as quite a few miles to do regularly soon. But anything is compared to the rover 75 (30mpg combined) knockabout im in at the moment.
Anyone had any of the following that could compare lexus noise and gears to etc.?
Freelander 1.8 very noisy
Rover 75 1.8 noisy but comfy
celica vti average on both
