Was testing this yesterday... Burnt a CD with Nero which is the default on my work laptop and it worked fine, tags and all... Did the same with a DVD but it didnt work so definately interested to see how your test pan out!

True... But for me the lure of not having to pay the congestion charge would allow for a higher purchase price... Especially as the petrol seems great and the diesel is so so.

I was actually talking about opening the doors from the inside when the doors are locked.......:) Ahhh, I see! That is a bit annoying for me too... I lock the doors from inside using the button... When I park up I get out (drivers door unlocks automatically when you pull the handle) and go to open the rear door to grab my suit jacket and its a no go as that door is still locked! Gotta remeber to use the button to unlock the doors again before I get out! Its great that this is the only niggle / annoyance I have!

I really do think the diesel is just a stop gap until the hybrid version comes... The petrol engine on the 250 is so smooth it will create an amazing car!

I'm sure I remember being told that if you dont use them, after a period of time they forget their settings as it were...

All the doors unlock when I put my hand on the drivers door handle on mine...

Right guys... Just a quick one as i'm snowed under at work! The word that comes to mind is WOW... The car is fantastic! The guys at Leicester tried to put collection off until next week as there is a couple stone chips (if you stare and look for them!) that still need to be sorted but as I had arranged my insurance and made plans to visit my folks I couldnt put it off... Therefore the car will be going back for a final bit of TLC as soon as I complete on my flat and have some time off! Engine is amazingly smooth, found myself moving up the gears very quickly and driving with just a light foot on the accelarator when coming back to London... Cruise control got used and I have to admit that its a great feature (really didnt see the point before having it!). The cabin is so quiet and surene is actually makes you want to cruise along and not bomb it!!! But put your foot down and it bloody goes!!! Toys are superb, Sat Nav is a great improvement and the sounds system is absolutely pumping! Phone system works great, loaded my phonebook and sorted some speed dials... Reverse parking camera is great! Really happy with the colour choice, glad I went for it rather than the Cadoxan Slate... I could go on but I gotta do some work! Final thing, love it when you turn it on and the dials flash and the steering collumn moves into place! (easily pleased?!?!) Will have to get some pics up when I get a chance but they will only be via my phone's 3.2MP camera!!!

Is it not related to lack of use?

20 hours to go until collection! Roll on 1pm tomorrow!!!

Shouldnt be a problem for old IS owners as we're used to having to press the lock button after getting in! Enjoy the new motor mate, and as per everyone else posts... Pics please! I'm picking up mine on Saturday so revel with ya!

Couldnt hold out... Spoke to the dealer today (Lexus Leicester - Jeff & Jon) and have asked if they are able to get the car ready for me to collect this coming Saturday!!! Shouldnt be a problem but they will give me a call back tomorrow to confirm! :D Its my birthday on the 8th so this will be a nice little early pressie for myself! I really cant wait!!! Live in London so will have a nice final drive up with my IS200 and then visit the folks in Sleaford so a nice little drive in the new car... Before the return leg home to London! Hey Matt... Is that a blue one you have mate??? Pic wise... I got the ones from the advert off the Lexus site at the mo!??!?... I'll try and get some up as soon as she's mine and the sun stays out long enough (bloody clocks going back so its pitch black before I even leave the office!)

I've finally taken the plunge and put a deposit down on a IS250 Sport! Unfortunately I am waiting to exchange and then complete on a property so need to wait till its gone through before I close the deal but its now MINE I TELL YOU, ALL MINE!!!! HAHAHAHA! I really cant wait! Its actually a preowned 56 plate with 7700 on the clock... Spec is Canterbury Blue with Black interior and Multimedia...

Now thats funny! :D

I dread to think how much money is under my electric seats!

Just looking into upgrading to the 250 Sport and am in contact with Jeff at Leicester (even tho im in London!) as I bought my IS200 from there (not him specifically though)... Its actually up for renewal in December but thought I should get the ball rolling... Been looking towards the Cadoxan Slate but they have a nice Winsor Blue at a decent price so could be swayed if he can do me a deal!!! Cant wait to join the new generation!

Auto Sport?!?! Very interesting! Let us know when you get it and what your thoughts are!

Very nice... What was the damage?

Been waiting for the Styling Kits to appear!!! Get them pics up Tel!!

I'd give www.swiftcover.com a try... On my IS200 got it down to about £600 from £900... very easy and no hassle...

Love the wheels... but could def do with a drop!

I have the 'Leather' TRD one and i do prefer it... Its not leather though, its moulded to look like leather... see link below... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie..._Pr4_PcY_BIN_IT

Lovely... Gonna do the same when mines due and it'll be Woodford too...

Hey Tel, when we gonna see some more shots of your IS with those 18" Hoshi's?!?!?

Cant wait for the hardtop convertible... Roll on 2008...

Now thats what the car needs!!! They look much much MUCH MUCH better than in the Lexus official pics!!! Would love to see more pics from different angles Tel!!!??? They must look amazing on the Astral Black...
