Why Consumers Like Lexus IS 250c?
Posted By Danny Green on January 23, 2010
With only minor changes in its 2006 predecessor, the Lexus IS 250c continues to be the best car made by Lexus, due to its fantastic and all-round performance. This time, the Lexus sports vehicle is a diesel variant. This can be considered as a direct competition for the 3 series of BMW, A4 of Audi and Mercedes-Benz C300. With a brilliant ride and handling, there is just a slight feeling that this is not the most involving machine in the world in the minds of a few, but still, it is nothing less than an ideal car for anyone as compared to its price, which attracts many consumers.
If someone is looking for an inexpensive car but one that is as luxurious as a Sedan with a sporty look, Lexus IS 250c is the right choice. Although it is comparatively less powerful than the IS350, but it is still has very attractive features of the IS series such as accurate handling, a top-class interior and a variety of high-tech features.
This car is a small one in size when compared to the other models, but it is still very comfortable and brilliant to ride in. Even with all these outstanding features, it has been defeated by the BMW in the case of outright road holding, but
still it gives a very smooth riding experience when riding on dodgy and broken motorways. At 154kw for 2.5-litre, V6 might not really provide the experience that was expected from it. It has the maximum speed of 230 km/h, which gives you an impressive sprint in just 8.1 seconds. For this reason, this comfortable and high performance vehicle is in for the competition with the BMW.
Lexus IS 250c is an artistic piece of engineering when it comes to its various parts. There is some very amazing material that has been used in the manufacturing of the car such as the Japanese-spec wood-made from a fine quality plastic. The handling of this car is also very fantastic with the rear-wheel drive on both petrol and diesel. It can be little noisy for the speed freaks when it is on diesel, but even with this, it keeps its grace as compared to its European rivals. The steering may not seem much smooth, but it is exactly what can be expected from a sporty Sedan.
This version of Lexus is practical enough due to a space for four to five, with a reasonable boot of 378 litres, but still, it cannot be considered as the best vehicle ever invented with respect to the available space. The running cost is a reasonable 9.8 L/100 km.
The car has received both types of reviews from the consumers; some have given positive reviews while others have given negative reviews. One consumer said that he found the car very comfortable and sporty and that it has a very elegant look as well. It is equipped with very cool features that make it fun to drive this car. The car is an excellent piece overall. Whereas, one of the consumers has commented that the brakes of the car squeaks 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.
