Lexus poured all of their engineering and design expertise into this little car in 2002. The design of the body panels for minimum wind resistance, the monster brakes, the smooth as silk 8-cylinder 4.3L engine, the luxurious interior and Levinson stereo, directional headlights, on-board navigation and, of course, the flawless convertible top. Body rigidity is very good. Reliability is excellent. It was not meant to be a BMW, Audi or Porsche. It is a grand touring coupe. Aside from ugly wheels on the first models it has aged well and is a beautiful, comfortable and fun car. Read all the reviews on line and you will see that almost nobody gives it less than 5 stars. There's a reason why. The reviews always have something negative to say about the back seats. Who cares? It’s a comfortable 2 seater. Use the space for storage. If you want 4 useable seats in a convertible buy another car.

Exhilarating!!! From the moment I took the keys, my life changed. This car looks sexy & handles far better than I expected.

Visibilty of the nose and rear end drops off when parking. There is a lack of any bumpers on doors to avoid dings. The paint quality on the exterior is not as good as it should be. I am MOST disappointed in the exterior paint. After purchase I had some zinc oxide rub off on the interior arm rests. Lexus was completely at a loss as to what to do. I am sure other people buying a Lexus convertible will also use sunscreen and have a similar problem. It is very quiet and does not beat you up when the top is down.

We got this car mostly due to the hardtop convertible feature. The design and comfort are very nice while the performance and drive are lackluster. The car seemed to have been designed for an older driving population who want the look of a convertible in a Lincoln Town Car frame. The technology and nav system is very counter intuitive with the entire system disabled while driving, so you'd have to park the car before using your nav system or Bluetooth phone. Be careful of Lexus dealers lying to you about this feature. All in all, this car is somewhat disappointing but if you're looking to have a convertible look that drives like a sedan, then it's the right car for you.
