2000 Lexus IS200 SE review from UK and Ireland
"Great value, comfortable but a high cost risk due to parts availability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I crashed it! Admittedly this was my own fault but the way the car skidded out of control on snow at 60mph whilst travelling in a straight line was outrageous even for a rear wheel drive...
My biggest complaint is the time (2 months) taken for parts to arrive from Japan. Promises made every week (..it will arrive on thursday) were just aggravating.
General comments?
Car is comfortable and good value but not if you have to pay for a hire car for 2 months whilst Lexus ship parts from Japan.
