Anybody looking for one of these cars probably knows what to expect but below is just some information on the Toyota Altezza: 

The Altezza 3S-GE engine is an award winning engine, it is a strong revvy engine and very powerful.  The RS200 Altezza has the beams engine which stands for a breakthrough engine with an advanced management system and it is developed by Yamaha.  The Lexus IS200 is slower and less reliable than the Altezza.  The Japanese tend to keep the best for themselves!  VVTI is better than the Honda Vtec because it doesn't have to rev so much, it is better on fuel economy and is more reliable than Vtec.

The Altezza 200 (Japanese version of Lexus IS200) came in 2 variants:

•           The AS200 (Chassis code TA-SXE-10, sedan or TA-GXE-10 FR Gita wagon, TA-GXE-15, 4WD Gita wagon), powered by a 1G-FE inline-6 engine generating 160 PS JIS (118 kW) or 155 PS DIN (114 kW) and mated to a 6–speed manual transmission (4–speed automatic optional)

•           The RS200 (Chassis code GH-SXE-10, sedan) powered by a Yamaha tuned 3S-GE inline-4 engine generating 210 PS JIS (154 kW) and mated to a 6–speed transmission (5–speed automatic optional)
