one of my mates who worked for canberra toyota took me for a drive in an is200. i don't follow lexus all that much, so whether or not there are variants in the 200 range, i'm not sure but...
i was highly impressed with the interior - leather, the driver's console area looked great. as for power, the car pulled itself very well, plenty of balls. handling was great, so were the brakes, i love the shape, and thought the car was great, and wouldn't hesistate to buy one if i had the moullah
