USED Lexus IS Saloon (99 - 05)

My car

Excellent to drive - have now owned three, Lexus dealers are an experience in themselves.

Fuel consumption is good, engine is bomb proof, I drove from Kent to Zagreb - via France, Germany, Italy and Slovenia in my last one and it loved it.

When I got there, I had a minor service - language barrier prevented any more. Then I had to do a mad dash back - to Calais, with two of us it took 16 hours and the car loved every minute of it.

Am now driving the auto, have had an induction kit put in as a bit of fun and its like the proverbial leaving the pulpit...

I have recommended these cars to many of my friends - all who have bought, seem more than delighted.

Don't think that because you get more gadgets than other cars it's better! Poor drive and it has a dated look!

Go for the A4 or X-Type

THE CAR IS WICKED. THE BEST CAR I EVER HAD.

My car

I love the distinctive looks, mine is in black, with the styling kit, and debadged.

I much prefer the Lexus to BMWs and it is good to be distinctive, albeit in a gangster car.

It is running on 18 inch tyres, which are not the best around town. But on A roads and motorways the ride is very good. Quality is excellent, apart from the old-fashioned fascia inside, and no seat lumber support. Gearbox is very smooth.

Dealers are superb.

It drinks the juice unfortunately if you use the sport button too much.

I had a BMW 525 for two weeks, and could not wait to get rid of it, back to my lovely Lexus.
