...Rear-wheel drive is standard and it can be equipped with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic, while all-wheel drive is available and only attached to the auto. At our test track, a manual-equipped IS 250 went from zero to 60 mph in a leisurely 7.5 seconds -- by comparison, the Audi A4's turbocharged four-cylinder does the same sprint in 6.4 seconds. Estimated fuel economy with rear-wheel drive and the automatic is 21 mpg city/29 mpg highway and 24 mpg combined. The manual returns 18/26/21, while all-wheel drive gets 20/26/22. Safety: Standard safety equipment includes antilock...

...that must be moved to the rearmost position to allow the top to come down.On the RoadTo give the IS C the rigidity buyers expect in a sporty convertible, Lexus added underbody bracing, a thicker rocker-panel structure, a thicker tube dash support, and beams under the rear seat. The result is a car that is fairly solid, though less rigid than the sedan. We did detect some cowl shake over bumps, but it's not bad, and the IS C is far better controlled than the floppy Toyota Solara convertible. The IS C is not as rock-solid as the BMW 3-Series convertible, and therefore isn't as responsive to...

...Both engines use direct fuel injection to maximize fuel efficiency. The IS 250C posts fuel economy numbers of 21/29 mpg, while the IS 350C, with its bigger V6, manages fuel economy numbers of 18/25 mpg.Front doors 11.8 inches longer than those on the IS sedans allow easy access to interior of the IS C, while fold-forward levers on the front seats and a power slide function on the front passenger seat make it easy for rear-seat passengers to climb on board. In addition, a power tilt/telescoping steering column assists the driver in finding a comfortable seating position.Standard...

CarGurus' Review for 2010 lexus is 250
Source: CarGurus

...A well-constructed package doesn’t mean it’s a well-thought-out package.
The 2010 Lexus IS 250 does many things well - suspension, gauge and control layout, overall visual appeal - but its weak engine and cramped interior simply hurt the overall package too much.
In all, the 2010 IS 250 is an entry-level middle child best left in the orphanage...
