Seat air-conditioning essential in our hot weather with the roof down! Standard on the Luxury edition
Space is decent enough for 2 adults in the back with rear three-quarter windows that work independently of the front.
The chassis is surprisingly well sorted too; we've driven loads of hard-top convertibles that look much better than they drive... and that's another thing about this IS-C; pictures don't really do the car justice since it's actually quite well proportioned in real life.
The damping is firm and even with the top down, the chassis feels satisfyingly rigid with no sense of scuttleshake or 'looseness' that plague the offerings from certain other marques.
The only downside is the added weight of the roof and mechanism, which blunts the straightline performance somewhat, but true to Lexus form, the engine is creamy smooth on the move.
