I'm so glad that I ignored the tepid professional review and took a test drive. This is a well designed car and it stands on it's own with no comparisons to fussy Germans. The 350 has effortless acceleration to the point of excess. It has plenty of legroom in front. I'm 6-2 and actually have to move the seat forward. It's quiet enough to use the speakerphone on the highway with the top down. Better than some sedans with the windows up. Dash and nav are simple and intuitive. Body work is rock solid.
Compliments on an 8 year old car? Oh, yeah!

While stepping up from an 18 year old 4 cyl pick up to this car may have tainted my opinion of the performance, I can honestly say that I don't believe any other car can touch the IS 350C for driving enjoyment. I've been driving my IS for almost 10 weeks now and I can't get enough of this car. She had 57,400 miles when I flew from Nashville to Newark to pick her up and I'm approaching 61,000 already (with a 6 1/2 mile commute!) and the only problem is a loose outside mirror that I'll be fixing myself following a YouTube tutorial. The acceleration and handling on this car make our twisty Tennessee roads a pure pleasure and I've never had so many compliments on a car I owned. It seemed like a big risk flying to pick up a car, but I was convinced I would regret letting this car get away, and boy was I right. I have absolutely 0 buyers remorse on this car, and that's a first for me. You owe it to yourself to test drive one of these, but be advised, you're going to have a very hard time turning down a luxury car that still drives like new, especially when it's about the same price as a new Honda Fit! 2020 update: 2 1/2 years and 27,000 miles later and I'm still loving this car! YouTube repair on the mirror is still holding and the only other maintenance is routine oil & filter changes and 4 new Bridgestone Potenza tires. Still getting compliments and still enjoying the switchbacks going up and down the edges of the Cumberland Plateau. My kids can fight over this car when I'm dead, I'm never selling!

Fun car to drive. Good acceleration, and decent handling. Lot of bells and whistles. Good bang for the buck, except constant problems with roof. rattle after rattle. Have taken the car back to the dealer 4 times for roof problems. Going back today again because the roof has stopped rattiling but is now squeeking.

I'm in love with this car. Bought this year in 2017 and it looks brand new - yet it's more than 7 years old from 2010! I crushed on the SC 430, but needed a usable back seat. Bought a 2008 Pontiac G6 GT Hardtop convertible in 2008 instead of Lexus back then. The car literally exploded this year, so I decided to return to my crush and shop a Lexus. Lucky for me they came out with the IS 250 C / 350 C series. I found a beautiful red 2010 Lexus IS 350 C. Smooth and powerful engine, sleek design inside and outside, excellent features and functions. Great for city or highway driving. Convertible top is excellent - best I've seen and 20 seconds up or down is amazing. This car did not have the Tecata airbag recall (many we shopped for did, but we found one at Sewell in Dallas which was pristine with no open issues, no wrecks, clean car fax and no recalls). Although the backseat is tight, it did fit my 6' tall son and our daughter without issues. Probably not the car for long family road trips, but great for just the 2 of us empty nesters. Love it. Love it. Love it.

Wanted a used hard top convertible as it wouldn't be a vehicle I would drive year round (No winter driving; no trips with a lot of luggage) Drove a few; however, a guy brought this one in for a trade as he wanted a different type of vehicle. Exactly what I wanted, including the the color. Very low mileage, new tires, new battery, new alignment, and not a mark on it. The person who previously owned it had not even taken the spare key from the original packaging. He had bought it new from the dealership I use so I have all the original sale paperwork, including the window sticker, and all maintenance records. It looks like the little brother to my ES350. Have had it for 48 months now less than 50K miles though I drive it whenever the weather is right. Everything about it is GREAT. Fun to drive; lot of guts; top opens and closes quickly and easily. Combined MPG I show would be a lot higher if I had more highway miles rather than the mostly city-like driving I do. The safety and technology ratings are based on the fact it is a 2010 vehicle, which I wanted. Compensated for no blind spot monitoring by adding the small blind-spot mirrors which I have on all my vehicles, even my 2018 auto which has blind-spot monitoring. The only thing I miss compared to my ES350 is that the LEXUS ENFORM is not available. It's such a great car that I plan on never getting rid of it.
