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.
Definitely not pikey wagon of choice in dublin ,slow very underpowered extremely thirsty and tiny inside
I like the bigger stuff from lexus though
was going to get one of these before the bavarian bug bit, very comfy inside and handles well
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
Big not from god. Pikey wagon
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.
I see one of these I think of pikey boy racers.
