Okay, Before you lot start i know it must be a "Age" Thing but i recently carried out some work for a good customer on a Lexus Soarer 4.0 V8. I have seen these cars prior but not took any notice of them until i test drove this one, WOW, What a Weapon. Talk about a Wolf in Sheeps Clothing..... <img border="0" alt="[cwnuts]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions051.gif" />

Well this car is built by Lexus and packs a 4.0 Litre lump in it doing 0-60 mph in approx 6.5 secs as standard. They are so so smooth to drive its un-real. Pure Luxury <img border="0" alt="[cwsmokin]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions036.gif" />

I am looking at buying one now as a second car, I am looking for peoples opinions on this car.

Couple of them in the UK do 200mph+.
I'd have one tommorow, hard choice between the V8 and the Twin Turbo.

Personally I think they look best in silver.

Come on peeps, i need more opinions to help me decide......

The 4.0 is far superior to the 2.5 Twin Turbo as it is a V8 Engine, Purrs like a kitten.....

Feedback please <img border="0" alt="[cwnuts]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions051.gif" />
Posted By: PAZ Re: Lexus Soarer - 4th Apr 2004 6:34pm
It actually looks really nice, plus its a Lexus!!!!

Pimp mobile m8!!!

Good choice....

i think if you want somethin different sensible, comfortable but still with a bit of pace then you cant go far wrong. Ive never saw one but from what you've said it does look like its got a pretty decent spec and it save syou using your scooby for everday stuff.

i like it, its subtle and sleek. thing is though, its a 4litre......my dad had a 4litre cherokee and he had to fill it at least twice a week. if money's no object then go for it
Posted By: Scooby Re: Lexus Soarer - 6th Apr 2004 10:22pm
They apparently do 22 - 25 mpg around town and 30 ish mpg on a run, I run a Scooby and a Landrover Discovery so i am used to high fuel costs confused

Saying that i am only getting around 20 mpg from the Scooby..... <img border="0" alt="[cwrumad]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions050.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cwclocks]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions033.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cwclocks]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions033.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cwclocks]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions033.gif" />

Wots sick ?? The car or the fuel consumption ???? <img border="0" alt="[cwnuts]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions051.gif" />
Posted By: lazy_ben Re: Lexus Soarer - 8th Apr 2004 12:13pm
the fuel consumption! just think, about a half/two thirds of what you pay for fuel goes to the government. i hate filling up when that thought's in the back of my mind.

Yeah, Its an Auto (Switchable) with normal mode or sports mode.
Posted By: Ando Re: Lexus Soarer - 13th Apr 2004 12:14am
That's cool, if it's using the same auto-box as the Supra, it's one of the best fully autos out there.
Posted By: Ando Re: Lexus Soarer - 14th Apr 2004 7:35pm
