  1. If this helps, I've had a new EVO(8) the interiors are B-a-s-i-c, they're a harsh ride, you'll need to service it every 4500miles and it'll do 8 miles yes thats 8! to the gallon if you drive it hard. I've driven subaru's both road and rally spec and they're b-a-s-i-c inside again and don't particularly drive that well compared to the Evo, both are fragile beasts and will harm your wallet, the Evo drives impossibly well and will keep you smiling until you get bored of stopping at every petrol station/garage. I've owned my IS200t for around 3 months now and it's simply the best car I've ever owned by a huge margin. It's quick, it handles impeccably, it does 29 miles to the gallon with a mixture of driving like a pillock and pottering around town, it's comfy, ab-solutely nothing annoys me about it, its better looking than most other cars on the road, no-one wants to call you a ***** when you overtake them (because it's a lexus and doesn't look like a drug dealers chariot). There's no other car for sale I'd swap it with. Thats my view on the thread for what it's worth.
  2. Got my 200t from Coventry. Would be nice to be buying Jaguar being so close to us, just a shame they've lost the plot.
  3. Having looked at my budget for a quality car, the Audi's, Bm's and Jags had nondescript interiors and a sales rep image that does nothing to make you feel good about yourself. The IS sport is a thing of beauty both inside and out, the 200T has performance too. There was nothing else I could see myself buying because I couldn't get excited about them. Was this just my taste? who cares, its me that's driving it. But in the first week of ownership I went into my local shop, a chap came in and said to his mates "you have to come out and see this Lexus, its outside now" all excited. How much would you have to spend on a BMW to get that reaction? Thats what sells cars my friends, pure class . . . . .
  4. Probably, be ok I guess. Not very relaxing keeping your foot planted on the brake though
  5. Just dawned on me today, as these cars are quite spirited and I'm certainly enjoying that fact at the moment, an issue has dawned on me. The stop start activates by depressing heavily on the brake pedal, the engine restarts when pedal released so you have to keep the brakes firmly on otherwise whats the point. If you've been hammering the car surely the disks are going to warp being as you're holding the brake pads on the disk? Or is there a way of changing the mode of operation that I'm missing?
  6. Thanks Ray, found it. There's not a second page, its just further along the menu god knows how I missed it, i was going into address and using postcode from there which restricts the characters, further along the destination menu there's a postcode tab as you quite rightly said, this allows full entry. My problem was the car was supplied with a note from the factory to say they havent got any satnav manuals in stock!
  7. Triumph dolomite. Death trap Ford Xr4i. Wonderfull About 20 company cars then Mitsubishi evo8. Handling to die for, cost a million pounds to run Citroen picasso. great inbetween car that ended up keeping for ages Ldv pilot. workhorse, uber reliable Jaguar xj8. plush and riduculous Kia sportage. Complete rubbish Isuzu trooper. Unreliable, thirsty, Landrover discovery. Unreliable thirsty, uncomfortable Nissan elgrand. One of the best cars Ive owned Honda crv. Noisy engine, annoying, uncomfy Toyota rav4. Great car Lexus is200. The best car Ive owned
  8. im not at car now but from memory. Pressed map, destination, address, went right on the menu wheel to the options (the three dots) select postcode. Then the wheel comes on screen for entering characters, select the characters (it was a seven digit but tried a six after as well with the space) it changes screen after 4 characters and allows you to scroll through the numbers for the 5th character, then it changes screen to enter street and house number?
  9. Nah, regardless of space or no space it changes screen after inputting 5 digits to enter the street info. If you go back you have to start again
  10. I got the standard, no premium option on the sport.
  11. I cant see any option for full postcode? Have you the premium or standard nav?
  12. Thanks Steve, saved me running through all of the settings, will get used to it I suppose.
  13. Picked her up yesterday. Well pleased with it, looks the business. Cant believe how well she handles and goes like a scalded cat. Getting around 24 to the gallon so far but to be fair have been thraping it quite a bit, seats are uber comfy for me. Only things I need to play with a bit more are, the satnav, when entering postcode it only takes first 5 digits then have to enter the street? cant find anything in settings to allow me to enter full postcode. Also the radio, there's not a lot of staions available? done the re-search stations a couple of times but still no joy. Other than that a stunning car
  14. Picking my new IS200T sport up tomorrow with the standard infotainment system. Can I use a portable HDD with the standard system?
