2001 Lexus IS200 review from Australia and New Zealand
"A small luxury sports treat"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing. The car was delivered new and has totally exceeded my expectations.
General comments?
The Lexus has been an experience from the minute I stepped into the dealership.
The car is a joy. Fun to drive, great handling, willing engine and yet maintaining an atmosphere of luxury.
Having compared it to the Passat, BMW, X type Jag and small Mercedes the Lexus became my obvious choice.
