I had a Lexus is200 sport with a 6 speed manual gearbox which is a lot better on the mpg ,about 20 years ago, and I have to say that to this day it’s the nicest car I’ve driven !! And I’ve owned a lot of cars, I’m actually considering purchasing another one, great review 👍
That car sounds like a dream a 6 speed would be a great option, yeah these autos offer comfort and are better in traffic it’s a pity they aren’t great on fuel but the tech and features offered more than make up for it! Thanks for your support bud appreciate you.
Mate probably one of the best decisions you will ever make. We have had it more than a year. Other than maintaining costs no other costs have come from it
Maintenance cost can be high though unless you do it yourself plus Lexus parts are expensive. Mind you a decent Toyota mechanic can help bring the cost down
It is indeed, it’s more like a gimmick because realistically you can’t get more than 39 mpg even if you feather the throttle, mind you the constant power and a well balanced chassis means the drive is pretty satisfying.
you can't get more than 31 mpg in an is200 unless your drafting behind a truck at 50. i went from is200 to gs300 with 2jz ge and it did similar mpg despite being 80hp up and 300kg heavier@@Daily.DriverUK
Thanks for review! YES, DEFINITELY WORTH THE HYPE!!! IS 200 IS A REAL FUTURE CLASSIC!
Appreciate your comment, I am glad I found another IS200 fan.

mpg gauge is a joke
