"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?

Could not agree more. Handling, comfort and build quality all superb. I enjoy the drive home from work now.

So being a lexus driver is not a badge snob, but being a bmw driver is mmm.

You can't beat a 3 series - IS200 is just a rebadged Toyota and wannabe 3 series. The BMW 3 series was Lexus' benchmark car when developing the IS200 - sadly they missed the mark. The IS200 has amaemic engines, cramped interiors, poor quality interior plastics and it looks, too my eyes anyway, tacky. Wouldn't touch one.
