1999 Lexus IS200 Sport review from UK and Ireland
"A potential death trap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Myself and four colleagues selected this vehicle at the same time as the reviews were outstanding. We have since found that the handling is unpredictable, where both under normal braking and acceleration in slightly damp conditions, we have had the rear kick out without warning (or the traction/ABS activating) depositing us in hedges etc.
