I am looking at buying a lexus is diesel but the reviews are rarely very friendly and even an owner like yourself calls the gearbox clunky.
Are such things just minor flaws or real issues? By reading the reviews you'd think a golf was somehow better than a diesel IS.
I drive a 2004 a4 diesel at the moment and it's poorly refined compared to the newer a4 models. Any opinions on how the IS compares to an a4?
Thanks :-)

Ps. Apologies if this should be in a different thread but it looks like you are discussing refinement here and I am trying to gauge how serious these issues are in reality.
