From this:


To this:



1.2 of 3 cylinder power biggrin

It's sporty and dynamic in comparison to the LS smile

Comes with most of the same equipment save electric heated seats and electric mirrors.

Loving it so far!

Looks very smart. I love the trum-iness of the engine on those. One question though, are you going to change your profile name to weSeat now?wink

Edited to add; damn that swear filter, I can't even type another PHers profile name without it having a go.

Nope oddly enough, granted the soundproofing is poor in comparison to the lexus (unsuprisingly), changing gear for myself is odd and it doesnt have much torque to speak of.

but in all other regards I think its the better car.

Just a shame it doesnt have a V8, but the rumble of the 3 cyl is quite pleasing.

In an agricultural sort of way.

I don't think this thing uses petrol!

put in £30 over the weekend took it over half way and the guage hasnt moved since.

I used to easily do £20 of fuel in a day or so's driving in the LS400.

It's odd that the photo is copyright, unless the original photographer is autotrader I can't see their ownership claim holding up.

Not sure I'd be happy sending in my pictures so they could claim ownership of them.. particularly if I was paying them for the advert too.

Nice car BTW!

Interestingly pathetic. Not convinced it would stand up in court.
MySpace tried that one and were forced to change their terms...
