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.

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.
