Overview

The 2013 Lexus IS 350 C Convertible makes for an excellent contender in the compact convertible. With just one trim on offer, the Lexus IS 350 C has a base MSRP of $46,890, competing directly with the BMW 3 Series Convertible, and the Audi A5 Cabriolet. Only a 3.5L V6 engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 306 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 5.9 seconds, the IS 350 C maintains a combined fuel economy of 22 MPG. Lexus offers the IS 350 C in 8 stunning colors, with the Deep Sea Mica being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The IS 350 C is one of the most luxurious hardtop convertibles in the segment that comes with an affordable price tag. Include the available Luxury package to further enhance your ride quality.
