My SC 430

This is my 4th Lexus and the most fun one I've owned. I have a LX 470 and had a GS 400 and a LS 400 so I know the cars well. This one is fast, sporty, and quiet. It is a 2 seater. Forget about using the back seat for anything but storage or midgets!

45 years for another metal roof convert

I've always wanted a convertible. My 1957 Ford Skyliner was almost perfect. But the embarassment to an 18 year when the roof refused to close was tough. I drove my SC430 off the lot expecting it to happen here. Wrong! It never failed.The gas mileage, about 18 overall, was better than expected. I was stopped in all weather by at least one person a day asking "what is it? It's the most beautiful car I ever saw." Someone living in New England better not drive in snow or ice. Those wide 18" wheels & 300hp engine has no traction even on level ground. I dropped mine off after 24 months & 32,000 miles, happy with the experience and hoping for spring.

All I can say is awesome. What a fun car to drive. I have only had it a few days, but I absolutely love it! A little more room in the back seat would be the only thing I would change..

Lexus SC430, My Opinion

I purchased my SC430 in March, 2001. One of the first delivered in Marietta, Ga. I enjoy the car. Styling is great, It's a head turner. Overall I rate it an excellent automobile. Problems I've had are as follows: Clunking sound (metal to metal) in rear of car over rough bumps.) Road noise from no-flat tires, wind noise from rear seat belts when top down. Also, car bottoms out over bumps.
