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 owned a Z3 for almost 8 years before getting the Lexus hardtop convertible. The ride is so much quieter with the top up and the comfort is a night and day difference. My wife would hardly ride in my Z, but she loves the ride in the Lexus. She also likes the Nav system and wants to add it to her GS300 if possible.

Eight year old car like brand new. Still learning more. Top is slow but works smoothly.

Perfect solid vehicle w a touch of Japanese workmanship that is full of luxury features. Bought new since 2011 and trouble-free so far. Lexus win! (coming from a German car fan for the last 30 years)

Quality Car

The new IS250c is the best designed convertible in luxury cars today. The car drives a lot smoother than the normal IS without giving up any of the sport handling. The interior gives you a much larger feeling as well. (Blows my old M3 conv. away with concern to quality and feel.) The only complaint is that lexus gave up a little too much on power for the good gas mileage. Luxury package is overpriced but a needed amenity.
