IS300 gets an above average 4 star rating ... http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Track/9120/compare/Compare3.htm

Actually that is for the IS200/Altezza.

I talked to Mark about my IS300 buying plan and he actually said that he thought the IS300 has become too nose heavy, and ruined the balance of the Altezza.

He seems to strongly favor the BMW330i over the IS300.

Do keep in mind that "Mr.Autozine" is the ultimate "Bench Racer". He doesn't drive any of the cars he reviews - he just reads extensively and forms opinions based on interpretations of other reviewers words.

Also - his AutoZine project is (unfortunately) done. The site will no longer be updated...

I see TEG.... But doesn't it say IS200/IS300 on the rating. So if he thinks the IS200 is better balanced would the IS300 get 3 stars instead of 4??
Eric....

6 stars for the 330????? He must really love that car

Oh - I was looking at the first ranking
(under value) where they rate
"Lexus IS200 / Toyota Altezza AS200" as 4 stars.

I see now that the IS300 / Altezza RS200 also show up with 4 stars (under "compact prestige saloon - expensive")
