Performance Car Reviews, News and Parts for the Car Enthusiast

Due to its fantastic and all round performance, Lexus IS 250c has proved to be an outstanding car. This model was introduced with little modification in the 2006 predecessor. The new model of Lexus is a diesel variant. Therefore, it has become a competition for 3-series of BMW, A4 of Audi and Mercedes-Benz C300. This is one of the most famous and appreciated cars in the market, and it has taken everyone with surprise. Considering its price, it is an ideal car of its own style. Compared to its competitors, it is nothing less.

If one is shopping for a lesser expensive but luxury sedan with a sporty look, Lexus IS 250c is, without a doubt, an ideal option, which is lesser powerful than the pricier IS350 but offers all the other features of the current IS series, including accurate handling, a top-class interior and a variety of high-tech features.

It is very comfy and provides great riding experience, although it is much smaller in size than the rest of the Lexus series. Lexus IS 250c gives you an amazing riding experience even on the dodgy and broken motorways, although it has been defeated by the BMW when it comes to outright road holding. The V6 does not provide the expected experience as it has 154kw for 2.5-litre. It has a maximum speed of 230 km/h, which gives you an amazing riding experience in just 8.1 seconds. When compared to BMW in comfort and performance, it is no less than that.

The parts of Lexus IS 250c are beautifully engineered together. There are some very interesting materials to be touched, but you may find some of the stuff to be matching the Japanese-spec wood-made from a fine quality plastic. When it comes to handling, this rear-wheel drive makes the most of what it has got in either petrol or diesel form. If you are a speed freak, the diesel may become a little noisy, but maintains the class that is lacking in the European front-drive sedans. Although the steering is not as smooth as one dreams it to be, it is almost what is expected from a sporty sedan.

This model of Lexus IS 250 is very practical when it comes to the space as it can easily accommodate four to five people. Even with this, it still cannot be called an ideal piece as regards to the seating space. The running cost of the car is very reasonable with just 9.8 L/100 km.

The car has received both praise and negative feedback from the consumers. According to one consumer, the car has a great look, is sporty yet comfortable. It has lot of cool features and fun to drive. It is an overall excellent car in its class. On the other hand, according to one of the critics, the brakes squeak when the driver backs up.

Lexus IS 250 is a very fast, luxurious and safe car which is ready to compete with its German rivals.
