plus different gear ratios - supposedly much better than the standard IS220D

But much worse on emissions - 195 against 168 for the standard car (08 figures).

€860 to tax (2231cc) on the Engine Size as long as it's pre July 08. If it was emissions it would be €1,050 :eek:

deffo, my cousin has an SE spec and i dont like the drive tbh. he even says it himself, although it does look good with the sport trim.

thanks,

what about bluetooth? parking sensors front and/or rear? cruise control?

can't find spec online anywhere...

what i'm really wondering is what does the 2010 model have that the 2008 model does not have?

No problem getting 2010 spec online, but can't find 2008 spec.

This the model??? wasnt that hard to find..(if it is the right one)

The Sport also shares a range of luxury features with the IS 220d SE-L model, including climate control air conditioning, cruise control, a 13-speaker audio system with in-dash six-disc CD autochanger, rain-sensing wipers, front and rear parking sensors, smart keyless entry, push-button start, electrically adjustable steering column and memory settings for the driver’s seat, steering wheel and door mirrors.

OK. thanks, so would I be right in thinking that the 2008 model is the same as the 2006 model?

R.O.R

I think Bluetooth was only available as part of a media pack that cost something like €5,000.

Don't think there were any spec changes between 2006 - 2008. I'm not sure if there have been any spec changes since launch, but they have lowered the emissions on all models towards the end of 09.

IS got a very mild facelift last year. The most noticeable difference are the lower emmissions, side indicators integrated into the door mirrors, rear light cluster and some interior switchgear.

Have you driven one yet?
I imported one recently for a friend and drove it from Bradford to Holyhead. The turbo lag from a 2.2 turbo diesel is really bad compared to the VW /Audi 2.0TDI that I'm used to and cabin space is very tight.
I wouldn't recommend one to be honest but check it out for yourself.

agree, the 320d is a far better car imo but then the 520d is even better again! M-Sport for me but up to you if you like that or not.
