You do have orginal suspension on both the 6 and the 200? I did put eibach springs and Red Koni's(modified for harder rebound) on my Xedos6 so now I'm pretty pleased with the handling.

I got an '97 2.0 manual. I will not say that the Xedos6 is quicker than the Is200, but that the Is200 is not much quicker than the Xedos6. ;) Max. Output (kW/rpm) : 104/6000 Max. Torque (N · m/rpm) 170/5000 Not as strong as the Is200 but the 200kg less in weight makes a difference. The interior design can be a little dull compared to the IS200. The interior of Xedos6 did almost not change during the years it was produced (92-99)

I'm sticking my head out here. ;) I'm a happy Xedos6 and I reckon the IS200/IS300 as a really great car. I'm always considering alternatives to my car even though I'll probarly keep my car some more. I find the two cars pretty similar in many points. Some points speaking for changing to an IS200 is: 1. Rwd. 2. 6 step gear box 3. Afterparts marked. 4. The engine in the IS300. Points for keeping my Xedos. 1. power/weight ratio better on the Xedos. 2. Had no problems at all the last three years. 3. the Xedos6 is a rare car. 4. The IS300 only comes with automatic gear box in Europe. Any points/opinions you want to fill in? //Stianf

Do they not sell the IS300 with manual gear box in Europe? As a genuine car fanatic I'm always looking for alternatives when it comes to changing car, even though I will probarly not change my car for the next 4-5 years. And the IS300 with manual gear has been an dream since the first time I saw they started to produce it.
