yo. anyone here tried the lexus IS250?
would like to hear some comments
thanks

Looks good on the outside....but doesn't seem spacious on the inside. I was also looking at that...hhehe I sat on the GS300 a few times...I think 1 problem is the boot...it's not userfriendly...the opening so small...want to put big things also hard..have to tilt then put in. Comfort wise it's gd...leg room and stuff are ok

Oh yeah...any more recommendations for a nice spacious car? that's less than 2L? or 2L at the most?

Hmm... Looks like all the current talk is about luxury cars like Lexus, Mercs and exotics... How about changing topic to some hardcore Jap racers like the Mitsubishi Evo X for a change?? For one, I am seriously toying with the idea of getting one next year!

Any bros/sistas have experience with the Evo?

the problem with these "sports sedan" all have short rear overhangs, this include the GS300,430,430H.

if you want long wheelbase, you should be looking at the LD460 that my friend is a dream car. too bad i never drive before.

my friend friend use to own evo, but never sit/drive so dunno. but hear that the evo lose to wrx. so according to her, WRX more worth it

[triton]

i feel that the driver plays a part in how the car perform. last time play S13, driver/owner of car cannot get a good time for quarter mile. then switch driver. got fastest time.

also need to compare what is done. the horsepower should be similar. then the same driver whack both cars over a specific distance. then the test will be more accurate. need to assume that the driver is familiar to both cars to get the maximim out of the car.

Evo is more expensive but all the works already done. WRX is cheaper but need to modify some more.

It's not how much power a car has
It's how the power is used...

ya many factor that make the car behave differently. best that those who want to buy go and test themselves and make sure they like.

cefiro resale value not so good, camry is workhorse, very reliable, simple car somemore. accord is nice and refined, but you pay for that 'luxury'
