Either way, thats one smart looking motor

Thanks guys, it is indeed a Lexus IS300 with the same inline 6 3.0 VVTi engine as found in the Supra, I imagine performance is pretty similar to the Altezza RS200 except the IS300 is only available in auto in the UK. I have been very happy with it.

Love the exterior look of them. Prefer the styling of that FRS to the new one. (Not that the new one looks bad AT ALL).

Do want that RS! (I may show myself to be an idiot, not actually sure which model that is xD)

And it is an IS300, we ere going to get one and got an IS200 sport instead.

The interior though is completely dated. Really doesn't look very nice in my opinion.

i'm simply not driving it as much as i'd like to, havn't driven it for 4-5 weeks now and winters coming so it'll no doubt be kept tucked up. roads are awful round here this time of year (doesnt help with the flooding atm) so i've come to my senses

You fool, complete fooly fool fool1!!!!1111 :mad:

Would love to buy yours as one to keep pretty and turn mine into a hillclimber, but unfortunately I don't have the funds and have some sense

My new car, had it just over a week. (sorry for poor pictures, it's always raining)

'99 Audi A4 SE 2.4 V6 in Santorin Blue Pearl. 154k on the clock, vanilla magic tree thrown in by the seller.

Done a few things to it (aerotwin blades, new pollen filter), with quite a few more things planned.

Got myself a new Passat. I'll get some pics tomorrow, though I'm sure you're all aware of what it will look like.

It's a Highline Plus with DSG. Cracking motorway cruiser

You apparently, does this mean you get to ban him?

Gilly · 24 Nov 2010 at 17:15

No, just pity him

[TW]Fox · 24 Nov 2010 at 17:57

Passat

Gilly · 24 Nov 2010 at 18:06

Meh, it's far and away the best thing I looked at, except the Avensis, which was OK but not as nice looking or as comfortable.

[TW]Fox · 24 Nov 2010 at 18:08

You didnt look at much then?

(We are an equal opportunities forums, so Dons buying diesel Passats are fair game)

Gilly · 24 Nov 2010 at 18:15

Vauxhall (up to Astra), Toyota, Skoda, VW and Seat. The ones available to me in the scheme from work (I couldn't get the Superb, nor would I have chosen it over the Passat, I was sorely disappointed with it when I went to look after having it talked up on here).

I could have taken an allowance, but it would have cost me a lot of cash to get to the level I'm at with the Passat.

[TW]Fox · 24 Nov 2010 at 18:16

I guess you took the best option then from a bad bunch, didnt realise it was a company car.

Mind you the allowance would have worked out much better by the time you also factor in the tax implications of it.

Clown · 24 Nov 2010 at 18:20

How did you get that past the swear filter?

mjt · 24 Nov 2010 at 18:39

You do realise there's a new model out in January?
