Costs & verdict
Everyday costs, plus how reliable and safe it is
The Lexus LC Convertible is certainly not a cheap car, but everything is relative. Next to the Aston Martin DB11 Volante, Bentley Continental GT Convertible and Porsche 911 Cabriolet, it’s a bit of a steal. You can buy a BMW 8 Series Convertible for significantly less, mind.
As for running costs, the V8 engine swills petrol eagerly when you exercise your right foot, but at a cruise, it's fairly efficient thanks to the 10-speed automatic gearbox – in top gear, the engine bumbles along below 2000rpm at 70mph. We saw it return well over 30mpg on a long motorway trip.
