lexus is220d.......comments?

[bronllwynboy]

Hi all.

Considering changing my type r for a lexus is220d. This is due to increased annual mileage (10000) and the fact that I want something a little more refined for the motorway miles I do with work and on occasional weekend trips.

Anyone have any experience of the lexus? I would look at having it remapped as I've read it doesn't feel as fast as the figures suggest I.e. 174bhp

I realise it isn't an mx5 or a remapped 535d

Thanks in advance

Cheers folks. I had read on the net that it's a viable replacement for a 320d just not quite as good. Will have a look at the avensis. Any other suggestions around 6.5k?

Just looked and the t180 looks a good shout. Any comments on them?
