Major competitors of Lexus are Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Volvo. Lexus IS 250C is designed to perform better with its hi-tech aerodynamics and the power train. Volvo C70 may be a more comfortable car with plenty of room for the rear passengers and the cargo, but Lexus IS250c beats it on the performance level. Both convertibles come at almost the same price with Lexus being a bit cheaper. The engine power of both cars is also different: Volvo has an engine with 227hp, while that of Lexus is 204hp. The fuel economy of Volvo and Lexus are slightly different from each other.

Mercedes-Benz CL is a heavier convertible with a high-powered V8 engine, but even the base price is sky high-$56,100 as compared to $39,440 of Lexus IS250C. Even though it has a more powerful engine, yet its fuel economy is lesser than that of IS 250C. Moreover, its retractable roof is soft while Lexus IS 250C has a hard roof made of aluminium. It can operate in record 20 seconds, folding or unfolding its 3-part structure.

With a high powered V8 engine, Mercedes-Benz CL can be considered a tough competitor in terms of engine power. However, the high price of the Mercedes-Benz CL makes it a less attractive choice as compared to Lexus IS 250c, which is available for a cost as low as $39,440. The hard aluminium roof of IS 250c has a record 20 seconds operating time for folding or unfolding of its three parts structure. Fuel economy of IS 250c is also better, which makes it a preferable option for most.

In Australia, owners of Lexus IS 250C have added one-year opportunity over the BMW 3-series. Moreover, Lexus road grip is stronger in all weather conditions. Although it was introduced in the market at the same time as BMW was, but it retained its appearance and condition. An interesting fact about the used cars of these brands is that a used BMW 3-series looks older than a used Lexus IS 250C. Hence, buyers have an increased appeal for Lexus rather than other convertibles.

Those who are looking for luxury and comfort go for a Lexus IS 250C rather than other convertibles. Its interior is furnished skilfully with exceptional attention paid to the finesse and quality of the material, used for the seats, dash board, gears, steering wheels, doors and windows. High quality wood and leather is used to accentuate the lush signature look of the Lexus ultra luxurious IS 250C convertible. The interior of its rival BMW 3-series is Spartan, simple and functional only.

When compared to its competitors, Lexus IS 250c remains the preferred choice due to its smooth and effortless driving. It surely beats all the other convertibles, when it comes to luxury. The excellently designed exterior and extremely beautiful interior with a blend of exceptional wood and premium quality leather to enhance the lustrous effect gives it an edge over its competitors.

Convertible cars are meant to be luxurious. If they are coming at an affordable price, there is no reason why one should compare it with other convertibles.
