2000 Lexus IS200 SE review from UK and Ireland
"A great tourer - well built - fun to drive - and superb value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car at all.
It is, in a nutshell, the most reliable car I have ever owned.
General comments?
It is the most satisfying car to drive.
It is such good value for money.
Previous cars - Mercedes-Benz C-Classes - were a real disappointment.
Well done LEXUS.
Which? Car report for August which shows the IS200 as the most reliable - well ahead of the C-Class and the BMW 3 Series.
If you aren't a badge snob, is their really any point in buying anything else?
