Ever driven one? Enjoy it? A housemate mentioned them earlier today.

No. No. NO. NO!!!

Waste of money!!

[Raz316]

care to elaborate?

[CocoPops]

Yeah, they are overpriced for what they are.

The only one to have is the 4.0 v8, and then you're talking serious petrol money.
They are all Jap import, and hence none of the toys that they come with actually work over here, ie TV/Radio units.

You'd be better off looking at Supra/Celica/MR2/200sx/RX7 if you wanted that style of car as an import.

Ahh cool, it isnt for me mind - my housemate who currently drives a toyota camry (nice car) is considering it.

When and if I change car I'm gonna go for celica, not sure what mk yet though.

This month's Practical Performance Car totally disagrees with you Coco. The 2.5 twin turbo goes like stink as stock and is a piece of cake to tune. Specialists can sort the toys out for not much money I think.

Have a look at the magazine Raz, it's a very comprehensive guide. Made me want one!

[Raz316]

ta rave - ill pass on the magazine to him.

Forget any other engine than the 2.5 twin turbo. Thats the one to have, its rear wheel drive and very tunable awesome engine - its heavy tho and needs a fair few quid spent to make it handle.

Dont agree with coco at all - its waaaay not a bad car, and VERY unusual! Bonus points for no-one knowing what a lexus sorer is (apart from those who have been broght up on gran turismo)

There's a place selling one near to where he lives in london so he is hopefully gonna have a test drive of a 2.5 then. Wish I was going too, I'd love to see what its like.

Thanks all
