Any Lexus IS200 owners out there?
A couple of questions for Lexus IS200 owners..
OH is looking at buying one of these second hand. Problem is that we have a fairly narrow driveway entrance which will barely accommodate the width of the car.
I know that the car has electrically folding mirrors, which would be ideal as they would provide a bit of extra manoeuvring room when parking up the drive.
My first question is - will the mirrors fold down when the engine is running and the car is on the move? Or do they only work when parked up and the engine is off (which would make them no good for getting up the driveway)?
Next one - what are the typical servicing costs for the car and what is the service interval (I've read 20000 miles)?
Cheers!

I don't know about a Lexus , but we have electrically folding mirrors on our car as the entrance to our driveway is quite narrow and they do fold down when the engine is running. We think they were well worth getting
Same old same old since 20080 -
Thanks - very useful info. Looks like the Lexus will be OK.0

I used to have one as a company car, they are lovely to drive but the co2 emissions was high at 233 and so i paid a fortune in tax.0
