220d Mm 07 Reg.

dave1 · May 23, 2008

Lexus Coventry gave me one as a loan car for a couple of days whilst waiting final prep on my GS430. I was not too keen after having read comments on this forum. I found that the car had plenty of guts and was reasonably quick off the mark although peak revs seemed fairly low. No rattles or any other problems.

I would not get one personally but only because I found it a little claustrophobic and also didn't like the low level of the frame above doors, I'm only 5ft 6 ins tall but still caught my head a couple of times getting in/out.

Whilst I appreciate that I only had the car for a short period of time, my overall impression of it was good. I would think that whilst dissatisfied owners post on here, satisfied owners rarely do.

Well said Dave

I have just got my IS220d SE MM and just looking at it just makes me smile more and more

Ditto mate,

I have not stopped smiling at mine since we got it last week. Looking forward to taking her out on a long run, so she can stretch her legs. The car that is....
