  1. 320d is actually a far better car then the 320i which is gutless, hence the reason why I was looking at the diesel 3 series, not the base model bimmer. Petrol prices aren't going down and the diesel has grunt. The 325i isn't value for money and the can't stand the harsh ride. The new Mercedes C-Class has been getting good reviews in car mags and online auto sites, but only a test drive can make up my mind. I test drove the IS250 Prestige but preferred the Sports on the road. Furthermore, having had Xenons on my other car, an Audi A4 2.0 TFSI Quattro, I can't see myself buying another car without this option. I'm not putting down the IS250 because it is a well balanced car, having all the right ingredients - value, looks, performance - but I haven't had people with bimmers complain of build quality. Funny enough, when I asked the dealer representative over at Blackburn Lexus about the rattles, he said none of his IS250 owners has come back with such problems (typical response). I'm getting the impression that owners put up with the rattles and that you spent money on a car thats near perfect but let down by quality control, which is shocking for this particular Japanese car maker.
  2. I was considering getting a Lexus IS250 Sports + Enhancement Pack sometime in June but with all these posts about horrible rattles being experienced by current owners, its disheartening to say the least. What happened to Lexus's reputation? You would expect to pay that much money for a hassle free car. Might consider the new Mercedes C Class or a well specced BMW 320D now, even though the IS250 looks so much better :(
