2010 Lexus IS 350 C
price range: $44,390.00
- Reviewed by:

The good: Cabin tech updates for the 2010 Lexus IS 350 C include live traffic built into the navigation system, iPod integration, and a Bluetooth phone system that lets you voice dial by name. Interior materials and fit are of high quality, lending a luxury feel to the car.
The bad: Trunk space is badly compromised with the top down. The car feels sporty up to a point, but when pushed in the corners the handling becomes loose.
The bottom line: The 2010 Lexus IS 350 C leans more to luxury than sport--remaining a very satisfying driver when not pushed too hard--and includes some very useful cabin tech features.

Very refined as a Coupe and fun as a drop top.Flexible.

Pros: Exudes quality and the options bring it right alongside even the most expensive CCs (Coupe/Convertible). Trunk space (roof down) DOES take two sets of golf clubs. Compare that with the G37! Or the SLK or SL.
Economy of the 250 is worth having.
Cons: Not a lot to complain about, for the price. Early depreciation is heavy just as with most CCs so buy used after a year or so.
Could offer more colour schemes and a full size spare wheel!

Economy is pretty good with the 250 and performance, using the dash preformance switch with the column paddles and the last inch of gas pedal, can be rewarding.
You pay for the 350 performance at the pumps, but for some it is a worthwhile 'extra'. The upcoming hybrid should satisfy us all!
The options of pro active cruise control and auto brake action, ceratainly have their place and already similar additions are being recognised by Insurance companies.
The IS250C is, for me, a huge improvement over the SC430.
It will do, for now.

Sorry Brian the IS 250 is a V6 not 4 cylinder!

Pros: Love the car and that its a retractable hard top.
Cons: Old Lexus GPS system, NO pop-up roll bars, NO side curtain airbags (or equivalent like the Volvo convertible or new Infiniti G Convertible), small trunk (although huge lid), IS250 2.5 V6 doesn't make since why a V6?
Summary: Sorry Brian the IS 250 is a V6 not 4 cylinder! The cons I listed are enough to make me wait till the next body style. And why did they ...
