Lexus IS Sport Cross (01-05) - Review

Review by Parkers on
This is an 'I've got an active lifestyle' estate which means a fair bit of the potential practicality has been sacrificed to ensure that you look good when you load you mountain bike into the back; all models come with more standard kit than rivals offer.

Safety

There's no Euro NCAP crash test rating, but IS a solid and fairly modern design. All models have driver, passenger and side airbags plus ABS. It's a very secure car – consistently topping break-in tests – with strong locks and a standard alarm. Some owners may also have fitted a tracking system.
