Gearing Up For Summer With The Top Down

Ready for a new set of wheels this summer? You could do worse than the new Lexus IS 250C. This gorgeous little car is just perfect for cruising the towns and countries of the UK with style and grace, with a choice of coupe or convertible options.

With all the sharpness you’d expect from a Lexus, the new offering boasts aerodynamics to die for as well as torsional rigidity and an enviable safety performance. Going from top up to top down on the convertible takes a mere 20 seconds – this is the fastest time of any convertible currently on the market.

Of course, many people consider a convertible to be a drawback when you have a small family or like to stock up on your groceries due to the smaller boot space when the roof is folded down. Not so with the Lexus IS 250C. Due to innovative use of space, this Lexus has a generous boot space even with the top down, and in no way compromises the rear seat access or rear passenger room.

The IS 250C and IS 250 saloon both have a 204bhp, 2.5 litre, V6 engine with a six speed gearbox. Clever styling brings you minimal wind turbulence with roof down and the body structure and suspension adjustments make for the smoothest of rides.

And don’t be thinking for one second that a roofless car is any less safe. Lexus engineering means that the IS 250 sports a five star rating in independent Euro NCAP crash testing so you’ll be as safe as houses in this top class car.
