2014 Lexus IS 350C F Sport Quick Take - Kelley Blue Book
The 2014 Lexus IS C is a reminder that sometimes you can't always have it all. To get you up to speed, the Lexus IS C is the convertible version of Lexus' popular 4-door small luxury sedan. When the hardtop is up, the Lexus is for all intents and purposes a 2-door coupe. With the push of a button, though, the big top tucks away into the trunk, turning this Lexus into a convertible ready for sun and the requisite fun. * As a coupe, the Lexus IS C feels like, well, a Lexus. Compared to the Infiniti Q60 hardtop convertible, the Lexus feels more buttoned-up. * Where the base IS 250C uses a 204-horsepower 2. 5-liter V6 that provides only adequate acceleration and passing power, the IS 350C ups the ante significantly with a 306-horsepower, 3. 5-liter V6. This engine gives and gives, providing blasts... * Though the 2014 IS C lacks the freshness of its sedan siblings (see the reason below), it still offers plenty of creature comforts such as climate-controlled seats and a Mark Levinson audiophile entertainment system that make driving a pleasure. * The biggest tradeoff when using the Lexus IS C as a convertible is its lack of cargo space. With the roof up, the Lexus has a decent 10. 8 cubic feet of cargo space. Source: www.kbb.com
