Price Range: £34,550 to £39,350
Refined and comfortable, quiet with the roof up, likely to be very reliable.
Dull driving manners, underwhelming V6 engine, expensive.
A good choice for anyone after a smooth boulevard cruiser, but it's pricey and won't satisfy keener drivers.
Being a Lexus, the IS 250C should hold its value very well. Provided there are no reliability issues or faults with the roof system (and we don't imagine there will be), the IS 250C should hold its value as well as any other premium convertible.
It will also have relative rarity in its favour, particularly compared with the BMW 3-Series Convertible, because Lexus says it will sell 800 per year in the UK - just a 4% market share.
