My mate has one as a company car.
Think that says it all - I would have one as a luxuryish motorway cruiser but they are too underpowered IMO.
It will feel like a 12volt corsa to you Steve

i know they will seem very under powered to me now.. but i have seen turbo conversions that make them a little more "fun"

if your looking at turboing one, why not just get a standard turboed 4 door saloon and play with that

Thought you were getting more power out of the LET and going 4WD or RWD?
IS200s sound nice, the interior looks good if you get leather and they look quite good too. Just underpowered

Straight six Beardo.
Slow, notchy gearbox, annoying stupid reverse gear, annoying stupid automatic headlights, wheels corrode if you look at them the wrong way.
Other than that, good car.

You can get a UK 3.0L with 210BHP, released later than the 2.0L
They are nice but a BMW 328/330 is faster and handles better.

Yeah IS300 is the quicker one, semi-auto push button box but they're too expensive.
