    So 10+mph :D

    What does the SEL model get you hachiko?

    SEL gets you a Mark Levinson unit (if specified, its about £2,300 option afaik). That includes the voice activated BT/Sat Nav.
    Multi function elec Leather Heat and cool seats, w/driver & passenger memory
    Auto lights with AFS/HID
    Auto Wipers
    Auto Dimming rear view mirror/side mirrors
    Rear electric blind
    Keyless start/smart entry (opens door with no need to push buttons)


    That's about the main things as far as I can see.
    Even Jags don't get many of this stuff, I saw a Jag in Dursey with a garmin stuck on the window.

    Guys*, don't want to come across a total d*ick here, as it might seem that :p, I am just posting up some pics and giving some feedback with this car (have given plenty of negatives too, like zero leg room at rear and probably and underwhelming v6, but ample for most people). I am in no way deluded as there are many better cars out there than mine but I am pretty happy with this, until I get a F next that is. I will remain pretty firm on not seeing many of these on the roads (seen 1 ISF in England on public roads (not including meet ups), and just a handful of is250s... and I am in the UK 4 years+). We are all car enthusiasts at the end of the day no matter what anyone drives.

    the top speed quoted is north of 140 which is certainly on the fast side, i wont say how far i have taken it but just a bit below that.

    I have 6 points just take from my licence recently for speeding.

    Sorry nice car n all but I wouldn't bat an eyelid at an IS250...an IS-F however, I would be hanging out the window listening for that V8.

    Was an IS-F that did a full on burnout leaving Galway C+C last year in an underground carpark.

    Well feck me sideways :p

    My car was behind it, was detarring it for a week :(

    My own fathers car has Auto everything and a touchscreen multimedia setup.
    It's a 2010 1.6tdi Octavia. If you get a look around any modern cars they nearly all have auto everything. Where as the screens may be options they are creeping into cars.
    It doesn't have a blind but as I said my car does.

    If you refuse to believe that then you can, but all that auto stuff is standard issue for years in any mainstream saloon jobbies!

    This is basically the fathers interior...

    Its optional on quite a few cars though, even German ones and Jags. Adaptive HIDs for example are not on many, not just the auto lights and wipers. the ML screen is also touch sensitive (and voice activated also)

    Not having a go at you of course.

    I did not think a e36 had a electric blind, tell us more?

    Is there no LSD or what happened there when that wheel didn't spin?

    The 2010 models had a torsen diff upgrade.

    Here's a car that I took a picture of this evening, It has electric leather seats, auto dimming mirrors, auto wipers, a rear sun blind, climate control and on of the best integrated control systems of it's time. It also has arguably the most glorious V6 engines ever made. Ant to top it all off a top speed north of 140MPH. The other car in the pic is a Toyota.

    but its an alfa romeo that is unfortunately the truth. That lexus is probably a daysul. I considered an Alfa Brera for its rarity but only for moment, I value reliability quite high on any cars I decide to buy.

    And that's why you bought a Toyota right? Good call

    Ded, since you constantly have a dig at me, is there any spectacular car you drive out of interest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,296 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    Lads, leave it. This constant derailment of threads has to stop. Nobody wants to watch a mickey waving contest.

    Maybe I should have been clearer. That's my 166 in that picture.

    I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with your Lexus but its most certainly not the "special" car you make it out to be. The Lexus might be more reliable than my Alfa but at least the Alfa Romeo 166 is a true flagship of the brand and doesn't share any components with a yaris (not that there is anything wrong with a yaris :))

    when I last checked the rear of my car it said lexus, not toyota.

    Came home to the parents yesterday, boot down, flew up the driveway and hit the brakes and got out. Looked back and phew! Nearly returned the favour for my sister hitting my E38 a while back. :p
