Lexus IS C (09 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 03 July 2009 Last Updated: 16 December 2009 With the popularity of upmarket four-seat convertibles like the Audi A5 and BMW 3-Series Convertible, it's no surprise that Lexus has its own version - the IS 250C. It's based on the standard IS saloon but the majority of the exterior is unique to the convertible - including the excellent aluminium folding roof. The smooth system retracts in just 21 seconds, making it one of the fastest metal roofs on any car. Like all Lexus cars, the IS 250C is superbly built and refined, but it seems this has come at the expense of driving enjoyment and it lacks that 'fun' factor you'd expect to find in any convertible. On the plus side, all versions come incredibly generously equipped and the metal roof means it can be as secure and as comfortable as a coupe. 3 out of 5 Other Lexus reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Gallery Company Car Costs P11D Value The price of the car excluding road tax and first registration fee.
