The Lexus IS200 has taken all the ingredients which have made the 3 Series such a sales success and given them a fresh spin. A smartly styled, two-litre executive car with a straight-six cylinder engine. Perfect weight distribution and rear wheel drive to appeal to the keen driver. A brand that"s all about prestige and technical innovation. It has to be a BMW 3 Series doesn"t it? Well, if imitation is indeed the sincerest form of flattery, BMW should be blushing coyly. Having already launched the LS400 and GS300 models in the UK, the Lexus brand, once derided as just a range of fancy Toyotas, now carries some serious clout. The IS200 was their first foray into the junior-executive saloon market and has sold in steady numbers. This was largely due to the limited range of engine choices. Whilst outright performance was nothing to get too excited about, the IS200"s appeal lay in its jewel-like detailing and peerless after-sales service.
History
Marketed as the Toyota Altezza in Japan, the Lexus IS200 arrived on these shores in June 1999, backed up by a glitzy advertising campaign. Indeed, the drive behind the IS200 model was to change the public perception of the Lexus brand. Rather than confine it to high-image, high-priced specialism, parent company Toyota wanted the Lexus brand to appear on shopping lists instead of the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, Mercedes C-class or Alfa Romeo 156. Upon launch there were three models available, the S base model, the SE luxury trim level and the Sport designation. Late 2003 saw the introduction of a well specified limited edition SE variant based on the existing SE but adding 11-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels, high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights, full leather upholstery and detailing that includes an armrest on the drivers seat. In the spring of 2004 all models received tinted rear light clusters, a price hike and a minor specification upgrade.
What You Get
The IS200 is full of little "surprise-and-delight" features. The styling is sharp and sporty. The front end is particularly neat, with the minimal overhangs and big front wheels giving the car an aggressively contemporary look. The clear-lens rear light clusters look like crystals. Inside, the story is the same. The biggest talking point on the IS200"s introduction was the fascia dials. Designed to resemble a diver"s chronometer, they look absolutely stunning. Everyone who gets into the vehicle notices them though. Another visual trick the designers have played is making the IS200 look larger than it actually is. The tape measure reveals it to be 71mm shorter than a 3 Series, 5mm lower and 19mm narrower. The IS200 gives its driver more to make them feel good than many rivals. The three-spoke sports steering wheel feels great to hold and(which also has a limited slip differential), there are drilled metal pedals a la Lamborghini Diablo to make you feel as if you"re at the wheel of a supercar. The gruff engine note won"t disappoint in this respect either - though it may come as something of a shock to owners of larger Lexus models used to a cathedral hush. This being Lexus, it goes without saying that all IS200s come with a generous specification: dual front and side airbags, alloy wheels, anti-lock brakes, traction control, a six-CD autochanger and climate controlled air conditioning are included & mine being the top & plusher versions have 17 alloy wheels, combination leather trim as well as power for the sunroof and seat adjustment.
On the Road
Whilst the engine is smooth, torquey and agreeable. Therefore you can"t expect searing performance - though rest to sixty in 9.5s on the way to 134mph is hardly glacial. You shouldn"t suffer too much at the pumps however. Around 30mpg ought to be possible in average conditions. Transmission is a slick, standard six-speed manual &The handling is good and the relatively modest power, traction control system and wide tyres act as a reassurance to buyers in any way nervous about graduating to a rear-wheel drive car.
Overall
The Lexus IS200 range is a true flagship performance version, the likes of BMW, Mercedes and Audi were very scared. As it is, it makes a shrewd & individual used buy. A used IS200 should please all but the most ardent speed freak.
The
only real negatives are that the radio has a mind of its own and switches on and off when it wants & the alloys need refurbing & that
really is it.
IN SUMMARY THIS IS A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THE IS200 WITH LEGENDARY Lexus BIULD QUALITY & HAS HAD THE ALL IMPORTANT TIMING BELT & KIT CHANGED IN THE LAST 10,000 MILES SO NO WORRIES AT ALL FOR A WHILE & IT LOOKS AND DRIVES ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT.
