Meet the Lexus IS 250 Compromise, SA’s newest Copperfield-spec tin-top coupe. Now, there are two ways this could go. The first is a purely analytical exercise. I tell you the price, then bury you in spec and stat, systematically convincing you that the IS 250C is superbly competent, well-engineered and a relative bargain. Which would all be true. But then the facts sometimes don’t tell the whole story, because subjectively it’s also boring to drive, with an uncanny ability to turn sprogs into wrinkly old men in mere metres. Fortunately not every car has to be the ultimate driver’s car.

IF YOUR'E OVER 70....
Than this car might just be up your street. Lexus pipe and slippers image means it doesnt appeal to the enthusiast, unless youre a fan of hybrids or have a hatred of all german cars. the IS250CC doesnt change that. the sedan is probably lexus best design yet, since your average IS250 driver walks without a zimmer frame. unfortunaetly, all is lost with this one. it looks as if it was desgined by 2 different people, over the telephone..... and that elongated deck looks ungainly.. lots of luxury features. and superb quality, are guarenteed, but in this sector thats not enough. it has no style, and is dull to drive.
