    I voted hot.

    Whilst they arent very powerful and are quite heavy compared to the E46.

    They are a really well built and well finished machine. They make a nice noise and have an LSD as standard.

    There's certain things about the way Lexus build a car that as an engineer they get a big thumbs up. Simple things like wheel arch liners that extend right the the lip of the wheel arch to protect from stone chips and subsequent rust.

    On another forum I said these were the last cars that were designed for longevity.

    I had one as a loaner for a week in 2005. Loved it. HOWEVER they quickly became the pikey wagon as Gar points out - a lot of it down to Altezza 'Beams' engined imports

    I liked them when they came out but now they are all in bits or in the hands of the felt spec brigade. Nice car if you want a cheap rwd 6-pot.
    Can't decide this one.
