2005 Lexus IS250 SE review from UK and Ireland
"Over-hyped new model not class leader"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rattle in the dash. Rattle in the passenger door (b pillar)
General comments?
Good engine gearbox. But road noise and hard ride detract from the car.
Not as well built as I expected with the rattles starting within minutes of collecting the car.
