The Ice Cream Car

This one is a lot of fun too. Sort of a little sister to the SC with a good engine and outstanding economy (typically 28-29 mpg)! Very peppy acceleration and corners like on rails. Styling is very similar and actually is shorter in height than the SC. There is more room in the trunk without the spare sticking up and the back seats are more accessible although certainly not intended for seating. The front seats are smaller than those in the SC and less comfortable. There’s also less elbow room between passengers. Mine also has paddle shifters for whatever reason On the con side is the early technology and no navigation. Dashboard information is very hard to see in the sun and there is but one cup holder. The ride is rough and you’ll feel every bump. Be very careful when parking as the front will hit the parking blocks and break the too fragile partition in the front - a very expensive repair. But for an inexpensive fun Sunday afternoon cruise with the top down it is perfect, stylish and lots of fun to drive. We call it the “Ice Cream” car for where we always take it..…. Wouldn’t recommend it for long trips but the SC can work for trips - get one of each! Very solid and reliable vesicles

I’m not big on writing long reviews so, this won’t be. 😊 When I was looking for my next car, it had to be a convertible. I hate being closed in. I really can’t say anything negative about it. I really love driving it. I bought it off lease so it was already 2-3 yrs old but it was beautiful, candy apple red w/white interior & ran great. It still runs great. It’s 13 yrs old now & no real problems. I was thinking of getting the new Lexus convertible but, why? My car still has quite a few good yrs of driving pleasure left.

Cute - but the roof is not reliable

I love how smooth the ride is in this car. Very sharp exterior, spacious interior. Large gas tank, gets almost 400 miles on a full tank. Haven't noticed any issues with the steering wheel or dashboard. No "melting" as seen on older models. I have the 4-seater, 2 door convertible. I appreciate how you can comfortably fit 4 people in this vehicle! My only issue so far has been the convertible top. Typically, it will drop with no issues, but it doesn't always close properly. I've had some replacement parts put in, and it's been to the mechanic multiple times. Only occasionally is there an error message. What I usually notice is, the roof will malfunction if it's hotter outside than maybe 75/80. Getting around this, I'll drop the top in the early morning, then shut it in the evening when it's much cooler. I'm in RI, that might not work as well in hotter climates.

Lexus IS 250C Exels in SO MANY WAYS

Having just owned the Toyota Solara convertible (2004 SLE 3.3L V6) along with Lexus LS 400 and SC 400 in the 1990's along with a 1984 Mercedes 300SD, I have driven quality cars over the past 25 years. Toyota and especially Lexus have set the standard for quality and reliability over the past two decades, and the new IS 250C does not disappoint . . it excels in almost every category. The engineering involved with the hard top convertible and how the 3 piece aluminum top closes and opens is a masterpiece - you gotta see it to believe it! Ride comfort and handling are superb; flawless power train although the 2.5L V6 is somewhat short on power but averages over 26MPG. Clearly BEST IN CLASS!
