2000 Lexus IS200 SE review from UK and Ireland
"Best in its class"

Nothing has gone wrong with the car.
General comments?
The IS200 is well built, comfortable, good looking, and lots of fun to drive.
While the car is not lightening quick out of the blocks, it does get a surge of acceleration at high revs. It's adequate for me, but if performance is critical to you, you probably want to look at the IS300.
The handling is excellent, helped by the 17" low profile tyres.
The 6-speed manual gearbox is a joy to use, flicking through the gears.
I expect the reliability to be excellent. I have only had mine for 2 years, but haven't had any problems.
It is good value for money, compared with other cars in its class.
