This or that - dennis chambers

Dear John

I wish to change my BMW 318i automatic for a new car which I hope to keep

for a number of years. My priorities are safety,comfort and of course

reliability with reasonably good performance. I prefer an automatic and I have

reduced my list to a choice between a Lexus IS200 and a VolvoS60 both 2 litre.

I would appreciate your opinion on which would be the best investment.

Many thanks

D.Chambers
