The start point for the best source of fleet information |
A drop-top to rival BMW's 3-series convertible and Audi A5 cabriolet is Lexus's latest expansion, although the ISC won't have huge fleet appeal as it's here as a 2.5-litre petrol engine with CO2 of 219g/km.
Every panel from the saloon bar the bonnet, headlights, door handles and mirrors is redesigned for the three-piece hard-top. The roof only works at rest and needs both doors shut and the luggage cover slotted in, but it does come down in a decent 21.0secs. Lexus claims class-leading roof-down boot space (discounting the A5's fabric roof), but the space is a long thin strip. Anything square simply won't fit.
The auto-only ISC is a good looking - especially roof down - cruiser rather than sports car, and the costs aren't too favourable for business. An 88.5p per mile figure isn't helped by a predicted retained value from KwikCarcost of just 31.7%, which is poor for a prestige brand.
The ISC makes a decent case on its looks, but the German premium brands will feel they have it covered in terms of driving, cost of ownership and practicality.

VerdictHits the spot for looks but doesn't back-up early promise in terms of ownership proposition. |
