My 6th Lexus!

Just sold my IS300 Sportcross and picked up an IS250C. I loved my Sportcross, but it didn't have any of the technology that I crave. So, went back to our dealership and got one of the last two IS250C's in stock with all the bells and whistles. Love it. Not as peppy as the Sportcross, but it will keep me from getting speeding tickets! I love the trunk space when the top is up, and love that my hair barely moves when the top is down. I already got a compliment from a woman in her Escalade at the stop light. She rolled down her window and yelled "I love your car!" With the top down, I love it, too! The backup camera is a necessity with the small rear window.

Love My IS 250 C

This is my second Lexus and my first retractable hard top convertible. I Love This Car! I drove a little '87 Toyota MR2 for 9 years w/o any problems, and the Lexus IS250C is every bit as much fun plus the added luxury of the retractable hard top. I fuel it with non-ethanol mid-range fuel, and no matter how I drive the car, it averages 24-25 mpg. It has plenty of power for my needs, even on the freeway. And you don't see another one every time you turn another corner. This is a sporty car with rear wheel drive so I cannot complain about this when it comes to winter weather driving; but then, I grew up with rear wheel drive cars in Minnesota and North Dakota.

Bought this Lexus used. Never bought a new car..don't think I ever will. at 15k with around 55k miles I figured this has lots of life so my wife will really enjoy this (We had just sold Vovlo C70 convertible). I like the ride better than the Volvo. Some of the technology is dated of course (this is a 2010). But it rides like a new one. I wish it was turbo and more kick. But, even at almost 10 years old its an eye catcher. A little boring to drive (compared to Infiniti G37) but with a Lexus name the confidence in the longevity of the engine and body brings much satisfaction. I would buy it again...

I have owned less than a week. Initial reaction is excellent. I replaced a Volvo C70. The Lexus comfort and ride is a vast improvement from the Volvo.

Wife's Car

Wife wanted this car as a retirement present. Car has been reliable and with little bother for routine maintenance. One recall for floor mats was handled quickly. Car gets 35 mpg on the highway (under 75 mph) and 26 mpg in and around town. Car handles my 6'5" frame well when I have top take it in for servicing. Only drawback is the limited trunk space with the top down but one knows that is the trade-off for a hardtop convertible. Warm in winter and comfortable in the hot muggy summer as the environmental controls manage the interior comfort level well. Great car for a Spring or Fall afternoon of top-down cruising. Lexus dealer has always provided excellent service in a timely manner.
