ok guys put the handbags away , was just getting everyone going , there all nice colours apart from the yukky green and aztec fire I agree that most ppl don't like aztec fire. That makes it rare, therefore I like it even more. Can't stand driving a car like everyone else's. For too many years now the general public has favoured only black or silver cars, check out any car/make. Things are now beginning to change because the economy could be at the last chance saloon and ppl want to go wild and choose a real colour, or white. (White is the new black) yes your not wrong my brother has a white 09 range rover sport, its lovely and my dad is buying the new is250c convertible next week ,,,

you should have left the naigating machine in there,

what colour was the car ???? Green is the best colour Corrected your mistake green is the ugliest colour in the is range

black only looks nice with front and back tinted windows and lexus sport wheels

nice colour but ugly alloys , very cheap looking

green is the worst colour, yukky, just like aztec fire

Blue is the best colour in the is200 range by far,, evryone i speak to says it even those in the lexus dealers, what do you think

what colour was the car ???? blue is the best colour

My IS 200 LE did that from brand new. Once the balance was eliminated from the issue and possible prop-shaft problems, it was clear that the vibration was not at wheel speed. Like yours, it was over a narrow speed range at light loading and in my case, once spotted in 6th gear you could detect something similar in gears 3, 4, & 5 at different speeds but slighter and not related to engine revs. The complete cure - after trying everything, Lexus replaced the gearbox. Hopefully yours will be will be a balance problem, a slight misfire or soggy engine mounts etc - because if it was a faulty gearbox, it would have been sorted out long ago. Good luck and hope you get it all sorted out. better to haev an automatic in the is200 cant go wrong

thats why its best to have the auto in the is200 just as powerful
