Powerful, practical, smooth, luxurious, AWD, reasonable economy for the performance etc...
Reviews are great as is reliability, you don't expect anything less from Jap though!
They can look amazing with a few minor touches! They perform very well! Power is always there too!
Get out and test drive one, well worth it! :-) I'm sold on it! You get ALOT of car for the money!
Beautiful drive mate, I test drove one a couple of days ago as I am looking at getting one.

Phil01 Are you really contemplating changing your car then Dave?
Yep, Phil, I am... contemplating it anyway... Will see what happens in the new year, but there's not a massive amount more I want to do with the IS, and really all that's left that I'd want is more power. And if it's 5k say for a turbo conversion then I'd probably be better off using that cash to simply buy a car with more power in the first place than take the risk of problems - I'm no Stav or Ormi, anything that needed fixed or went pop would cost me bigtime...

24-06-2019, 10:59 PM #8A common issue is turbo oil seal failure, let the car idle for 10 mins after your test drive if it starts to smoke there is a turbo issue. Seen a couple do this.

It is definitely a car worth considering. Understated stealthy looks and practicality of a 4 door saloon with 260bhp + AWD and a few upgrades / remaps etc to chose from.
I had a 3mps for a year and have test driven a couple of the 6's. Worth trying to get an early one if you can cos the tax bracket changes. Go for one registered before a certain date in March 06 (think it is the 23rd march and you will save a couple of hundred notes a year.) Check out the owners club at http://mpsowners.co.uk to read up on the turbo issues and also the vvti issue.

I ran a quick insurance cost check on a 6 MPS and it's about 350 cheaper than I'm currently paying for the IS :lol: so logically if there's an increase in tax cost it'd be offset a bit anyways :biggrin:
