Is the Lexus IS 250 C (the hard-top convertible) a dependable car? pros and cons?

The Lexus IS250c is a reliable vehicle however just like any other car their are advantages and disadvantages. The Lexus IS convertible is reminiscent to its DNA counterpart the Lexus IS250 sedan. Although both ride on almost the same platform the Lexus IS convertible is a lot more elongated at the rear which can be seen as a negative and positive. The long rear allows for excellent rear cargo room even with the top folded down however the long design of the trunk makes the car look very awkward in terms of design, at certain angles the vehicle doesn't seem "proportioned" like many reviewers have stated. The retractable hard top folds down in exactly 20 seconds which Lexus claims to be the quickest ever made however its very unfortunate that the same can not be said about the performance in the Lexus IS convertible. The Lexus IS250C has one of the most underpowered engines in the luxury convertible segment, with an engine producing only 204 HP the IS can only make up for its loss of power through design, and that alone is quite controversial itself. The IS350C has a 306 HP engine which is a lot better then its entry cl trim however the driving dynamics of the Lexus IS convertible doesn't come any where near the performance of its Rivals which include the BMW 3 series convertible and the Infiniti G37 Convertible. Although the ISC competes against other convertibles in this segment such as the Audi A5 and Mercedes E-cl convertibles its main competitors are BMW and Infiniti's hardtop convertibles. Although the ISC is priced way below its rivals at $40,390 its still lacks the performance and offerings of its rivals. The Infiniti G37 convertible and BMW 3 series convertible are both priced at $45,000 but with that in mind the G37 packs a standard 328 HP engine with a lot more standards then you would find in your entry cl Lexus ISC, in fact the G37 convertible is the fastest hardtop in terms of horsepower standard in the luxury segment. The G37 convertible is actually one of the few hardtops that have flawlessly executed design in terms of virtually keeping the exact same body structure as its DNA counterpart the Infiniti G37 coupe. The BMW 3 series convertible performs alot better then the ISC but in reality the Lexus ISC is equally if not a bit more equipped then the BMW 3 series only the 3 series cost a bit more. Personally my top two favorite hardtops are the Audi A5 and Infiniti G37 convertible however the Lexus ISC is a handsome convertible and although its lacks power its still has enough to offer its drivers in other aspects aside of performance.
