Yes.

I’ve been drooling over Lexus IS 200s for years now. Last week I bit the bullet – sorted out some finance and bought one. I haven’t sold the tank yet but once I get it’s NCT sorted, I’m hoping it’ll sell quickly.

The car I went for was a 2000 Lexus IS 200 Sport (Styling Kit). I am insanely in love with this car now.

It’s got relatively high mileage (118k uk motorway miles) but el-Volvo is up to 182k now so I’m not worried at all and the toyota engines can go for generations.  It is a completely different driving experience to the Volvo. A proper sports car – scared the shit out of me the first time I took it on the country roads.

Farewell Volvo – you have been relegated. I would recommend a Lexus without hesitation.
