I'm loving it. Have a read of a thread I made last week, a mini review thread.

Actually Joshy, the 2001- Soarer was badged as an Lexus SC

But it was still badged and sold as a Toyota Soarer in Japan until Lexus was introduced 05, then it became the Lexus SC430, not a 'Lexus Soarer'

Truth actually, fair point.
2006 onwards it was the SC.

Who is 'they', why are they changing your car and can they change mine?

My company, it made more financial sense for me to have this one instead of the white one that I had.
The old one is the E350 CDI and this is the CGI, so its a 3.5L V6 petrol, and I have to say over the diesel, the sound of this is just superb!
And its nice to take the top down in the summer
About changing yours, I doubt it, you would have to work here first, have you got a degree in engineering?
Soldato
Really?
Each to their own and all that, but I think it's hideous. The headlights destroy it completely, and then there are the stupid L shaped leds in the splitter
How odd, I cant imagine how that could be but its a better car anyway.
The E350CGI has a combined mpg figure of almost 40mpg - it'd be interesting to see what sort of real world economy you get.

Does it come with some good toys, I presume you don’t have those L shaped led daytime driving lights switched on?

Its just because of the deals we have on the cars, it worked out cheaper to keep this one and get rid of the white one. You wouldn't really think so though, I agree.

Motorway driving it gets about mid to late thirties, around town driving its late twenties at best, so 40 is a bit optimistic as usual.
It does, it has pretty much everything on it -
Light Package - cornering assist, auto main beam, xenons, etc.
3 setting driver and passenger memory full electric seats.
Air scarf neck heaters, Reversing camera
Harman Kardon Logic7 surround sound system (which is fantastic)
COMAND Sat nav/media package
Lots more, it basically has all optional extras aside from Distronic Plus.
And I actually do have the LED lights on all the time, they are on by default. I quite like them, should I not?

No, leave them on, I do with mine. It’s just that I don’t like that L shape, the rest is fine.

Love that MR2, sweet colour aswell. Reminds me of the 350z orange colour.

Nice Dale looks same as mine bar the colour! (mine is sonic shadow)
How much did you pay just out of interest and is it in as good nick as it looks?
