Right,
at present i have a rapidly failing Rover 200 (nice car, good power for a 1600, and massivly hacking me off!!!!)
Its time to change and rather than go for another small cheap(ish) car i was thinking about alternatives.
So an IS 200 came by, missus liked it (thats a big hurdle) and i was just going to guage peoples opinions as to which years/models to avoid etc. what it is like for insurance and general stuff like that.
I dont know whether or not i would modify it, possibly just bolt on styling stuff like a bit of carbon here and there and perhaps a new set of wheels
So just general opinions please, bearing in mind that i dont want to be spending a fortune fixing things,
and just to add a bit more, what sort of prices do they go for, probably looking to get something with a good history and only a couple of years old.
Cheers hope to hear something back soonish!! all very exciting

yeah all sounds good i got a quote from elephant for the sport at 900 squid which i thought was pretty good considering what i have payed for the 216,
so far as i can tell it is only superficial differences between the models, all come with the same engine (which i can see is tuneable)
I would be tempted to change the wheels, standard=poo
probably wont do the exhaust again, unless it was just a standard upgrade and wont blow my bllx off!! Been there done that twice, lovely sound!!!
i noticed that the head-unit looks to be double din, or is it just an oversised standard unit? would probably just swap the speakers over for a half decent set, might be severely tempted to go for some tasty carbon though!!!!
So the S is a bit of a No No (why exactly??NOVICE ALERT??) and it is down to the SE and Sport- if it is just the pedals and stuff might as well get the sport!!
Are there any problems with them (Bar the alloys)?? i mean like the rovers infamous head gasket problem?
Do TRD do any sportie parts for them?
Your help is so much appreciated, i'm getting quite excited the thought!!
