  1. I feel sorry for you all. I had a superb granite sky is200 sport earlier this year and had to sell it as it used too much fuel, i only live less than 2 miles from my work but even taking it and driving at the weekend i was paying about £40-50 per week on fuel.

    I guess it depends how much you can offord to spend but a maximum of 25mpg was terrible most of the time it was 20mpg.

    I bought an old passat tdi s reg, estate and get roughly 48mpg in town and 55mpg on motorways. or 680 miles per tank.

    I know its not a lexus but i feel better knowing that i dont have to spend lots on fuel.

    I still have my xsara vts anyway to play with.

  2. The xsara is quite a goog car to drive, it has about 180 bhp with the mods made and has the same running gear as the 306 gti-6, except it has a 5 speed gearbox.

    it really handles quite good with excellent turn-in and taught body control, and it would leave a standard is200 sport over any roads.

    where the Is200 has the upperhand is with the looks comfort and presteige, i guess thats what you are paying for, and all the toys they come with.

    buy i will hang on to the passat tdi for long journeys although i dont need a car and live less than 1 mile from the Bosch factory where i work.

  3. Hiya Guys,

    Just to let you know i went from Glenrothes here in Fife Scotland to Ostende in Belgium via Coventry, and a day trip to Stratford upon avon crossing at Dover to Calais.

    I done this on one tank of diesel which here in Glenrothes costs 96p per litre.

    and my passat tdi holds 62 litres.

    as you can see from the picture,

    54 mpg, and 659 miles and still some left.

    and also pictured on the half tank, make you think eh!!

    if only my lexus could have got near the 40mpg mark, i would have kept it also.

    and i still have my xsara to play with

  4. Hiya Guys.

    just a quickie to say thanks for your help over the past few months when i have needed it on the forum.

    I have now sold my Is 200 sport and bought a passat tdi estate.

    I still have my xsara vts also, so i can have some fun in that still.

    I just work in a local factory and the 23-25mpg in town was no good for me,

    the tdi passat gets around 46mpg in town and the 2ltr 16v (170bhp) xsara gets around 33mpg in town.

    good car though the is 200 sport. but a bit slow and thirsty, i would have another in about 10 years and with a diesel.................

    see you in 2015 then......................

    mad or what!!

    next is an evo six, 4 wheel drive 2.0L...................bring it on!!

  6. I DONT CARE IF ITS HIDEOUS, I CAN REMOVE IT ANYTIME. AINT HALF AS HIDEOUS AS SPENDING 3K ON AN ENGINE MOD AND BUYING A USED CAR TO GET AROUND IN.

    I YOU WANT POWER WHY NOT BUY AN EVO V1 AS LEAST THEY LOOK FAST.

    ANYWAY I HOPE YOU GET YOUR ENGINE FIXED SOON AND MANNAGE TO GET SOME COMPENSATION SORTED OUT FOR YOUR TROUBLES, ITS NOT YOUR FAULT.

    SCOTT AT ALTEZZA SHOULD HAVE CONTACTED YOU ALSO.

    ANDREW WITH THAT HIDEOUS REAR SPOILER ON THE STANDARD LEXUS THAT GOES TO FRANCE EVERY MONTH FROM FIFE, SCOTLAND.
