Re-Examination And Current Updates Of Lexus IS 250c

By Danny Green

Although I had driven the Lexus IS 250 Sedan model, and despite the fact, I am a big admirer of its luxury features, and safe handling, which are standards in all Lexus models, when I happened to set my eyes on the Lexus IS 250 Hard top convertible, I was left short of words, the car truly is an inspiration. It is Japanese Luxury Automotive Engineering at its best. Making its graceful debut at the Paris Mondial de l'Automobile in 2008, it is a result of four years of work on the previous body style transformed into a roadster.

To be on the streets by 2010, it is the first entry level convertible offered from Lexus. With retail tag of approximately 34,550 plus, it is claimed to have the fastest metal folding roof in the world. Based on the IS Sedan, it is a transformation of a solid roof, four door sedan, into a retractable roof, two door coupe. Under the hood is a 204bhp (208 DIN hp) 2.5 litre V6 engine, and it will be available in both six speed automatic, and manual transmissions.

The exterior design has been carefully designed based on L-finesse IS Saloon with some advanced features like concave surfacing, contrasting convex, and sweeping lines. Other than these features, some other common features are door mirrors, door handles, headlamps, and bonnet. All other elements have been reconstructed with latest tools. The aerodynamic features have made this the most convenient car to drive with the roof in down position. The backlights have novel mix of light clusters with distinctive linear LED lighting, and a high-mounted LED stop illumination built into the higher lip of the boot cover.

The inner design is also based on the grand, splendid, and inventive internal designs of the Saloon. The car offers a good wide seating space for four persons including driver. Moreover, it has open-handed space for baggage. No other car in the market has enough space to place golf bag, even when the roof is down. The car contains 12 speaker, 365W Surround System with automated equaliser tuning that provides excellent sound quality in any condition; with roof up, or down. Another phenomenal feature is the built-in LCD touch screen audio player. This player is connected to various ports together with dedicated melody records of 10GB. It is a part of high-tech Navigation System, which has a devoted memory of 40GB, and holds back drawing for entire Europe with voice detection functionality.

The three-piece folding roof configuration is made exclusively of lightweight aluminium, and has the best ever opening and closing time of any three-part roof at a speed of 20 seconds. Its mega quiet, and easily put in use by the push of a single push button.

The ride is very soft with the additional feature of standard 17-inch wheels. In accumulation with a, multi link suspensions, a strong chassis, and Electronic Power Steering offer for enhanced handling, and controlling.

Safety concerns have been taken care by an utmost five star rating in both Euro, and US NCAP crash testing. With all safety standards included as the IS Sedan models, it also has the first of its kind twin-chamber passenger front airbag.

Overall, the 2010 Lexus IS 250C is found to be a refined touring convertible for a sensible price. Its interior improvement, relaxing ride, and good fuel economy are certainly bonuses. In addition, with UK being the biggest market for convertibles (despite the little sunshine we have), you are going to be seeing a lot of them around. - 21393
