This is my second Lexus to own. I previously owned a Lexus RX 300 for 8 years and it was a great vehicle. I wanted something a little more fun to drive in my senior years so I started looking at convertibles. I looked at BMW and Infiniti hardtop convertibles but they couldn't hold a candle to the the Lexus IS 250 C. The Lexus IS 250 C is so quiet with the top up and only takes 20 seconds to drop the top. The standard sound system with 11 speakers is excellent. I recommend getting the navigation system with the rear camera. I don't regret spending the extra dollars to have this feature and it really makes for a more attractive dash display. I've had so many compliments on this car.
Just love my car

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!
