Very quiet and rides well. With the top down, you can hear the passenger talking at normal voice levels. Stereo system is very nice and GPS works very well. Seating and climate controls are very good. Accelerates well once it is moving, but has a distinct hesitation before shifting that can get you into trouble while merging into traffic.

This car is a magnificent vehicle. It is a pleasure to drive and very comfortable. It is wonderful on either short hops around town or on the road. I am thankful I have it.

I owned 3 Porsches and a Mercedes E55. The SC430 lacks true sports car feel but is the best built. A hardtop convertible was our preference. We could not rationalize or justify the $40,000 price difference of the SL500. The Mercedes CLK500.It felt cheap and plastic-filled - ditto the new Cadilac. As for the back seat and small trunk the SC430 has more than my Porsches, the SL500 or Cadilac. With the top up we have room for both sets of golf clubs and luggage - meaning we can travel with this car where we could not with the SL500 or Caddy.

This is the best vehicle I have ever own. The design of the vehicle is simply gorgeous. The engine performs wonderfuly, the interior is a work of art. And the speed which the car can reach is enough for me. (personal highest yet was 156, even though some magazines say it can't go that fast The car is simply the best out there. Beautiful, reliable, fun to drive, good value and simply Lexus. It's amazing the responses some people have when they see this car past them.
