The Batmobile

Yeah sure! Loan me a few grand will ya!

But seriously something about it looks really nice. I love the hatch in that shape but generally not the sedans... But the lip on the boot seems to work really well. What do you guys think of it?

Discuss.

The EG sedan is one of the best sedan shapes ever. Lol. Lexus copied it with their is300.

Yes I'm a tad biased, but then again I owned one for 2 1/2 years, and it was SOO roomy inside. Plus, I've heard the sedan is only ~30kg heavier than the hatch.

Combined with a B18c and some good suspension it wouXld be an absolutely wicked car to drive! Plus, you'd still have tonnes of room in the back for the booster seats

I present to you:

Lexus is300

Honda Civic Sedan

if your a family man and still wanna have fun this is the car to get!

The IS200 is one of my all-time favourites! IS300 not quite as good in my opinion.

Family man all the way! Booster seats? Not yet, still got the proper baby seats for all.

Yup! But you get my point

I wouldn't suggest either IMO.

is200 is notoriously under-powered and 300 only came out in auto.

Can't compare to 3-series. 325i+ are all better value for $$$ and are much better overall. Das Gut.

IS200 is definitely lacking in power. My mum used to have one (it was also auto). But as a car for cruising I thought it was great, handled quite well also.

So what would you suggest Mike? EM1?

Like I said before, BMW 3 series (E46).

323i/325i/330i all good. Can be had for the same price as the Lexus.

The is200 is a great handler, like u said. I hate the instrument cluster though, too busy and hard to read. Crap hard interior plastics I thought too. Why buy a Lexus when you can have a bimmer?
