The Alloys have corroded and it is not even 3 years old yet.
Although the car is the entry level model it is still a masterpiece.
Handling superb, slightly underpowered engine, but ideal for cruising.
When we bought the car we compared with BMW's & Merc's and the Lexus was by far the better car.
Lexus customer service are excellent simply swapped the wheels when corroded.
It's an overpriced toyota altezza.
To the person that said the Lexus is an overpriced Toyota Altezza - that means that all Audis are overpriced VWs, all Jags ar overpriced Fords and all Alfas are overpriced Fiats etc...
Is this correct? No. The Lexus (as compared with other cars in its class) is extremely well priced, reliable, well equipped and beautifully shaped.
The main Issue with the Is200 is the Price!
It's way to high for a 2 litre Straight Six!
By the way which BMW were you comparing it with?
A E36 320IS (2 Litre, 150 bhp) will easily match the performance of the Lexus, and it sounds MUCH Better than the Lexus (which is far too muted)
Raziel.
