Hey guys, I've not been on here for a while!

Previously I owned a IS200 SE

[Image: 20120210150307.jpg]

Which I sold for something more subtle, Audi A4

But I am missing RWD and the Lexus so I might be swapping it for a Supercharged TTE one soon.

I was just wondering what I need to look for when viewing it as I have never been in a Supercharged one before, are they still reliable and from my last one I used to get around 40 miles to a tenner of petrol would this still be the case or does the Supercharger rinse petrol?

Also and probably more importantly how much difference does the SC make from a standard IS200?

Cheers guys :thumbup:

Well any car with FI will use more fuel when driven hard then the NA versin. But on a run the SC IS200 is said to return similar and sometimes better MPG then the NA version.

Supercharging the IS200 makes it 100x better.

Supercharged IS200s are great mate if u don't drive it hard you should be ok on fuel,

However with the fuel cost at the moment £10 will only get me round my area 7ltrs which driving round town won't get me far
