Best most satisfying car ever owned

Our SC 430 is the best most satisfying car we've ever owned. Reliable, still gets comments EVERY time it goes out in public. A great ego tripper as well as a driving trip. Although it has less than 25,000 miles, it is used every day. A joy to own and drive.

Thanks to all who posted their reviews previously. This is a fantastic car that will not disappoint as long as you understand it is not a pure sports car, but instead a GT touring car. I got the saddle interior, which not only looks good but actually smells like leather (unlike most japanese cars).

FROM: tntjackson "A toyota is a toyota is a toyota. I'm not fooled here." I WANT TO SPEAK TO THAT YOUNG MAN. DON'T YOU DARE LISTEN TO HIM. HE IS WRONG. THE SC430 IS BY FAR THE BEST CAR LEXUS HAS EVER MADE. IT SHARES THE LEGENDARY LEXUS VALUE AND RELIABILITY, WHILE SPORTING AVANT GARDE LOOKS AND POWER.

It is the pinnacle we are all trying to reach, and Lexus has firmly taken you there with the SC430. A precisely built efficiently amusing and amazingly comfortable convertible that outclasses anything before or since. The seats provide the type of comfort you would only expect in a sedan and the leather is more luxurious than most Ferragamo supple coats. The steering is tight and responsive while the ride hugs the road but remains responsive. If it appeals to your visual senses, it will embrace your need for speed and exceed your demands for the utmost in luxury. Yes, Lexus, we have arrived.

HAD IT FOR 4K MILES. A REAL HEAD TURNER, GOT THE INDIGO BLUE W/ECRU. NAV IS OK, BUT NOT TOTALLY ACCURATE. DEALER'S SERVICE PEOPLE ARE GREAT, BOUGHT OZ RACING WHEELS FOR $1,000 AT TIRE DISCOUNTERS, ECRU IS VERY TOUGH TO KEEP CLEAN!!! ALREADY GOT 3 CHIPS IN NOSE...MAN THAT FIRST ONE WAS AGGRAVATING!,LIKE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FREE DEALER CAR WASHES, BUT THEY DO A CRAPPY JOB COMPARED TO ME, SO I END UP DOING IT OVER ANYWAY (SORRY) WOULD LIKE A STIFFER SUSPENSION, MORE LIKE MY X5 BMW. OVERALL, CAN'T KNOCK THIS GREAT CAR, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT A MB. GOOD DEAL FOR THE BUCK WITH ALL THE OPTIONS!
