Terrific gearboxes, the best part of the car. Reasonably styled inside and out, the only thing that doesn't convince is the fuel economy to performance ratio. 20-25mpg from such a sluggish car is a bitter pill to swallow, even with that lovely creamy V6 soundtrack.
I had one for a while but found the performance a bit of a let down - very smooth (a bit like an ~E46 320i) but even more gutless.Ive had 2 and apart from the performance/mpg they are a good car.
If your looking at them and there is anything at all not working perfectly walk away and find another as there is usually loads on the market. Small issues can sometimes be expensive to fix.
Cambelt should have been done at 60k miles.....was 100k but Lexus revised it to 60k
Sport spec gives an LSD which is fun in the wet
