My other car ...

[msm]

With the fuel price going where it is, I decided a V8 X5 no longer serves any practical purpose and after the mods on my 330d, let's say I found the 4.8i a bit lacking too. :fencelook: Also, decided that I need to start saving for another real 4x4 (i.e. Land Rover Disco4)

So in an effort to find a cheapish run-around for the wife and something I can put on some mileage on, I bought myself an appliance: 2007 IS250SE Auto.

Yes, it's chalk and cheese when it comes to comparing the E90 and IS250, but for the daily grind it's actually not too bad.

Will be putting up some comparative ownership experiences between these 2 cars in a few months time, as both can now be had for similar money, but's lets see if the Lexus does indeed prove to be cheaper to run than an E90.

Congrats:bravo:

My one buddy bought a IS350 earlier this year, its packed with kit, where the Germans usually make you bleed for extras.

great, i was wondering the same how the two would compare. can you also add some figures KW, Torque , consumption, runs,

and overall drive experience :fencelook:


Nice cars :thumbs:

:thumbs: I did something similar - I got me an Audi 2.0TDi - the 125kw one, excelent fuel economy and very soft ride, fantastic boot space (u can fit an E90 in it ) + its got a full spare wheel. :thumbs:

They are good cars. Just don't ever mention to a Lexus driver that it is actually a glorified Toyota. They get very upset :fencelook:
