1999 Lexus IS200 review from UK and Ireland
"Best lexus yet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alloy wheels do not live up to the quality of the overall car. Continually rusting despite regular attention. One set replaced by Lexus free of charge already. Another set of wheels likely to be needed very soon.
General comments?
An excellent drive, very comfortable.
Beats BMW man hands down.
Everything you need comes as standard. No hidden extras unlike our German friends.
You feel like you are driving something different.
A better handler than BMW or Mercedez and more nifty than its bigger brothers.
A bit hungry on the petrol, but this could be down to my driving.
I will buy again if Lexus can give me guarantees about the alloy wheels.
