Default IS 250 or IS 220d

Hi guys,

I`m no my way to buy Lexus and I want some expert advice here.
Could you please share your feedback for both IS250 and IS220d, something like pros and cons.
And if it is possible i would like to have more feedback about the 220d engine because everybody knows what petrol engine can.....

Thanks a lot in advance!
Daniel

As this board is majority a North American audience, very few people will have any experience with the 220d. The diesel version is not sold in Canada or the US. The only thing I know about it is from the Fifth Gear segment about it.


Head to your dealer for a test drive. I'm certain it won't be a complete lemon, but other than that, you may have trouble getting any meaningful information :S

The 220d has been plagued with reliability issues. I'd be more open to the 250
